Hence the Boycotts
-
The hosts were brought back in with a suspension rather than firing and his suspension was brought back down to appropriate levels. He DID break the rules, he himself even admitted it and the hosts let him by not interrupting it so they deserved punishment too. The problem was the EXTENT of the punishment and the statement made in the taiwanese newspaper clearly marking it as being done because he supported Honk Kong over China. Blizz has a looong way to go to get off my Boycott list, but I am also trying to keep a level head here and give credit where it is due, they could've pulled what every other publisher would've done and not even acknowledged their mistake and try to sweep it under the rug. Instead the prez got up in front of a giant crowd at the one time of year when the absolute most eyes are on them and said "we fucked up" that means something.

I know a lot of people are dismissing the apology, but the fact that he stood up in front a crowd in person to make it counts for something. Not enough, but something. The most accurate thing he said was that actions count for more than words. I am waiting to see if they follow through on that. Blizzard is notorious AF about dropping features they initially pushed hard before they release a game. So, I will wait to see what they talk about during the release year.

I am not even gonna look at anything beyond the trailer for 2 reasons: 1. Blizz still hasn't redeemed itself enough to get off my blacklist. Though the apology at the beginning of the opening ceremony was a good start. 2. Knowing it will be years before it's released means that most of what they probably won't even make it into the game.
