He knows the internet exist yet this was an even more effective platform to use his voice on,Blizzard do not bully in the street but they did give a political punishment and no normal one and hey if they want the chinese market and adjust to that consumerbase then we also have the right as consumers to step out of the market of aim for them. That is our freedom. You can be so entitled to not like human rights messing with your shows but no need to be upset at others being more humanitary. |
Video games are an escape from reality not to bring reality issues into it. This is exactly what has happened here. This guy brought real world issues into the gaming industry, using it as leverage to gain attention. I am all for freedom of speech however to use someone or something without consent to create a stance to hide behind I am all against. This guy could have easily found other ways without involving a brand and pushing them into the firing line where either they act on it or lose an entire market.. and they simply acted on it because again, they are a business not justice fighters.
If people choose to boycott great games based off politics than they are no loss to this industry because the gaming industry doesn't need real world drama in it. These are the type of gamers which are no different to those wanting to sensor and ban video games based off violence, its basically the same thing and my stance against banning video games is very strong so ill be defensive here. I again don't care for other peoples views, if they want to speak up than they can speak up but don't involve the gaming industry to achieve there goals.
Also what better are we to justify Blizzards beliefs? Don't they have every right to follow what they believe in? Isn't that exactly what we are doing to them to what China is doing to HK? Goes to show we are no different.
