    Blizzard, which didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, has been struggling to contain a backlash after it punished the gamer Chung Ng Wai, known as Blitzchung. The player wore a gas mask and chanted a pro-Hong Kong slogan in a post-tournament interview, leading Blizzard to ban him from events for a year and strip him of $10,000 in prize money.

    While I don't support the politicisation of every little thing, personally I say fuck these companies who want to tell us what to think.

    They permanently banned me from WoW back in 2008 for participating in a 4chan raid where we got together and formed a swastika with our bodies

    I can't help but think that Blizzard banning you from WoW was doing you a solid.

    WoW is boring, shallow, soulless garbage so of course you would prefer that game over the masterpiece that is XIV.

    I'm not a tranny anymore. That was a dark period in my life. Almost as dark as when I was playing FFXIV. Trash game for pedos.

    regardless of what he was actually arguing, they're right. when you sign up you agree that you're not going to use the competition as a political platform, which is perfectly reasonable

    It's called freedom of speech. It applies to corporations as well. Deal with it.

    Funny too, this coming from the guy with a country whose GOVERNMENT restricts his speech. Hope you're using a VPN because I'm reporting you for hate speech.
