Lol safe to say Blizzard backed the wrong horse on this one?

As a business you can't really rely on a totalitarian government like China no matter how many potential consumers there may be b/c the government basically has free reign to do what they want when they want, and can put massive restrictions on where, when, how, and even IF you can do business. Case in point..

Except that countless businesses have. A country with twice the population of all of Europe is simply too tempting to pass up, and there's always pressure from shareholders from perpetual growth. The only way companies could make up for that customer base is by marketing in India and in every country in the African continent, and neither area has anywhere close to the spending power of China. They'll work with the erratic behavior of the Chinese government to ensure that all that Chinese money keeps coming in.
