The Allen Brack letter wasn't that long ago, have we already forgotten our prizings? I wonder how that fiasco would have gone down if it was a 10% stake, instead of 5%. It would be pretty hard to top getting an American CEO to claim Chinese copy as his own in a publicity crisis management letter... addressing a Chinese censorship publicity crisis.
- joaomacp 6y agoTo be clear for people that don't know: in October 2019 a Hearthstone (Blizzard game) player protested for Hong Kong while in a tournament stream, by putting on a mask (ironic right?) and shouting "Liberate Hong Kong". Blizzard proceeded to ban the player, take away his prizemoney and also fire the live stream casters. Following community criticism, they gave back the prizemoney to the player and reduced his ban to 6 months. Also, they said "the specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made". But in the official Blizzard Weibo account, they had mentioned they applied the ban to "protect China's national dignity". Good videos about this: https://youtu.be/uXEP02K3g5M https://youtu.be/uXEP02K3g5M https://youtu.be/oBpcAEMd7tc https://youtu.be/oBpcAEMd7tc

- tal8d 6y agoA phrase made meaningless by its universal applicability. Blizzard management was upset about their inability to control everyone associated with them? Play stupid games... Don't appreciate someone pointing out the fact that "Play stupid games" is mouth noise? Play stupid games...
