I have inside info on d4, it's getting announced at blizzcon. Mix of open world, and instanced dungeons, global events etc.
Basically, take the world system of WoW and apply it to diablo. Also going to be much gorier, M rating
Also, I can see why they suspended him as well. Political standpoints really have no place in a sporting arena. Would you guys be concerned if he or anyone had said, "Reunification of China, number 1!" or "America for Americans, one nation under God", or "thank you to everyone, praise Allah", or, "FUCK TRUMP" etc?
The point is, bringing politics, religion into a fairly large tele-casted event is a big no-no and most of the people who do it KNOW there is going to be backlash but they weigh the pros and cons and find themselves willing to bring attention to a topic at their own peril. Regardless of the topic at hand, these events cannot become soapboxes for tournament winners. I think a ban is not only the right call for the event but to send a message to future event winners that, yes while it's important to support the causes in the world, there is a time and a place for everything.
This is being treated like it's appeasement, but it's a business decision. Pro gaming is still in its infancy, when things like this happen it takes away the credibility of the platform.
