Seriously? I'd argue the opposite. Real gamers care about human rights and tend to have an anti-authoritarian bent.
This isn't the freaking climate change or abortion debate.. This isn't a "political stance." It's not a controversial one. It's a city of downtrodden citizens fighting for basic human rights against an oppressive communist government that literally beats and shoots protestors in the streets, and has ACTUAL concentration camps for "undesirables" like Muslims (Uighurs). And if Blizzard is going to sacrifice their soul just to pocket a little extra change then they're dead to me. That's dirty money as far as I'm concerned. I know as a souless corporation $$$ is the ultimate bottom line but jesus christ, do you draw the line ANYWHERE. Peronally I'd rather be homeless in the street than sell my soul and fill my pockets with dirty money. And wtf why do these guys feel the need to be Chinese bootlickers all a sudden? Is the Western capitalist market full of hundreds of millions of potential consumers not enough??
