>Blizzard says "don't talk about divisive things using our tournaments and communication channels." Why can't they be allowed to do so? Obviously they ARE allowed to ban people if they want to, but I assume you wonder why people are so upset about it? The issue is simple: Blizzard has repeatedly allowed (and even endorsed) political statements in similar situations in the past yet decided to ban a player and strip their winnings instead of simply telling them "don't do that again or we will need to ban you". Their enforcement was extremely selective and, importantly, they were allowing China to dictate what could or could not be said in a game interview that took place OUTSIDE of China.
