"The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made. I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision."
Right, that's why you gave Blitz a one hear suspension and fucked him over financially while American University got nothing of the sorts. "We will always respect and defend the honor of our country" huh, Blizz?
Fucking hypocritical, lying pieces of shit.
It's not better. Don't be a mark.It's....better. I am not pleased with Blizzard but sigh. If they revoked the punishment China would ban the fuck outta them. I'm satisfied....ish. My opinion of them is low but....fuck I don't know.
They didn't make things right at all. They're still punishing everyone involved and putting them all out of a job for 6 months. This is honestly a pretty terrible statement that ignores the fact that they didn't treat that college team the same way and that Blizzard China directly spoke out about how they're protecting the integrity of China.
He hit "submit" and ran to his car
"We're sorry you felt that way."Is it tho? It doesn't even have that appearance to me. There isn't any sort of contrition or acknowledgement of serious fault. In fact it begins by justifying their position and why they feel they were actually right all along, but were simply too hasty in the actual punishments. It's nonsense and doesn't answer any of the actual concerns people have about the incident.
The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made. I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision.
That doesn't make ANY sense.The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made. I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision.
We'll see what statement we get after Columbus Day.It's less than nothing, insulting this was the best they could do in a week
Probably calculated, hoping it will fizzle out on the weekend and nobody cares on Monday.It took them 3 days to come up with this weak shit?
Goddamn, Blizzard, you could've at least hired some PR wizards for all those Chinese money.
A complete and total fucking reverse of their actions, no ban, and all prize money restored.
How about an apology?
Nothing. That's why this is entertaining. The damage was already done, Blizzard showed everyone what sort of company they are. It's cute that Blizzard thinks they can fix this before Blizzcon with a statement like this.
I mean, that was the hope. I didn't expect much. This was about it really.
There's plenty in this thread swallowing it.
seriously. No one should believe this. They are fucking lying.
