If you choose to blame video games by boycotting them over outside politic issues than that's a personal problem that needs to be voiced outside the gaming industry. Yes, you are blaming the good games by boycotting them and the good staff behind the hard work. If someone wants to use a brand to voice his opinion without the brands consent than that's there issue simple as that. Use the internet if they had a brain, its not that hard. You have gone off your radar again here by thinking Blizzard is all for communism just because they are following the laws in Honk Kong. They are a business that wants to stay relevant. I don't blame them for acting up because Honk Kong most likely has a gun to there head saying punish or be banished from our country. Businesses care about making money and if majority of money comes from a country than id expect any brand to do what Blizzard did. Should I boycott the Mitsubishi brand because they made the Japanese Airplanes that slaughter many US Navy crew at Pearl Harbor? No I don't. Should I Boycott German Car makers because they made German tanks that helped slaughter majority of the world? No I don't. End of the day someone brought it to Blizzard, Blizzard isn't exactly going out hunting gamers for there freedom of speech, they punished a guy at there ESport for throwing there name into a warzone they probably don't want to be in. Good to see Blizzard is refunding the guy his rightfully earnt prise money so good on them. The incest law was an example which again went over your head. If we allow anyone to speak up at any major events without any concsent from major brands than that means anyone can simple do it about anything. I don't want random cultist or Regilous people interrupting my shows and events to say they are right. Sorry I am not in for it and I wont be part of it. Gaming is a relaxing medium for some of us and I much rather it stay that way. Boycott Blizzard games, take it out on quality games, but I will say this, If Valve came out and supported the Nazi's and managed to make Half Life 3, I will be buying Half Life 3 and I could care less what political views they take. That does not make me Nazi. If you don't like my opinion you and any others can simply deal with it. I am all against Hong Kong for there actions taking place but bringing this up at Esports is simply stupid in my opinion. EDIT: There are some good people working at Blizzard that is against this behaviour so Boycotting the games those devs make, is a logically choice by you? I don't get it. You rather throw out there hard work, nice. That's why boycotting makes no sense to me because multi-billion dollar business blame the sales of there products on there internal staff like those good employees that don't want to get involved in the drama and just want to make a living are now the ones getting punished by that logic. |
You don't understand how a boycott works... Anyway you glossed over my reply towards ya. I think you might wanna address it before continuing to pretend context and nuance don't matter.
"If we allow anyone to speak up at any major events without any concsent from major brands than that means anyone can simple do it about anything."
Like with this quote here, implying because Blitzchung said a political thing somehow this means everyone can say a political thing regardless of the content and execution. Well it doesn't, we will still judge each unique individual situation as just that. For example, to anyone with intelligence, there's a pretty clear difference between "freedom for my country" and "kill all white males." Both political statements but obviously each should be treated differently.
