A Chinese player won a major Hearthstone tournament and announced his support for Hong Kong live on stream. He was banned, had his prize money taken away, and multiple cast members were fired by Blizzard afterward.

A couple days later, Mei, a Chinese character from Overwatch, started becoming the symbol of support for Hong Kong online.

:lupe: I can't help but wonder if that's intentional...
Yes it's a purposefull movement on reddit in an attempt to get Overwatch banned in China

They reduced suspension but this won't go away anytime soon. They need to reinstate the player completely and the others who pledged support for HK.

Blizzard just cancelled the launch event for OW on switch, which looked like it was gonna be a lot of fun for the people who were going to attend at NintendoNYC. I have to assume for the most part they didn't want crazy fans to show up and cause bullshyt due to what's going on atm.

They banned three more protestors from Hearthstone.

What is going on in Hong Kong? Are cops shooting innocent people in the streets and getting away. How about racists going on mass shooting murder sprees ? :lupe:
