@Azzanation I for one don't think boycotting Blizzard is going to save Hong Kong directly obviously. But it's the principle and the precedent it possibly sets. It hopefully sends a message for supporting human rights and opposing violations on these basic rights in addition to Totalitarianism. And I partially get the "majority rules" argument of 600 million + customers but surely a good chunk of them must be in support of HK too??
I've softened on this a bit, at least Blizzard cut some of the suspension and returned Chung's prize money, though I can't help but feel that is merely because of the major backlash. I still feel Blizzard acting like a harmless statement that's bascially naught but "pro-human rights" when you boil it down is some kind of crazy, provocative, or divisive statement is asinine to me.. And I'll always feel that way.
Regardless, a couple of buddies just bought Overwatch on Switch and I'll be damned if I'm missing out over one foolish company decision. But I'm still buying used when I would have bought new before this. And that includes the sweet Dva controller I'll be picking up too :P
