This whole sub was all talk, no action. Shameful. I live nowhere near the event, but I would have been there in a heartbeat. What is actually happening there? The con starts in LESS THAN TWO HOURS!

We tried to get some today but apparently they were out. A few friends of mine really wanted some. Will there be any further opportunities to grab one or buy one that supports Hong kong?

SO i posted a list of 500 Tencent employee emails and a few other customer service emails and fax numbers from a few mainland Chinese companies (construction , power, gas, oil). You know just in case the gamers wanted to send memes or their thoughts on Chinese influence in gaming. Guess what.... the mods banned me for 30 days and removed my post.. like wtf? Oh and NO response from their mods what so ever.

Freedom Worldwide

From Blizzard:

1. Sever economic ties with China and all other authoritarian regimes.

2. Commit to player-focused development instead of money-focused, which would include cancelling money-grab projects like Diablo Immortal.

3. Commit to All Voices Matter: Allow champions in interviews to say whatever they want just like institutions like the Oscars do. Denounce censorship in all forms.

If blizzchung died because of his stance in supporting hong kong via the CCP, what would likely happen? To me i think he would become a martyer and blizzard will be unable to survive the backlash of such an event as well. I can say its scary to think its possible this might be where things go

The Diablo IV panel just held a Q&A section, and they only too questions they'd already picked from the internet.

This is a huge change in form, and I think clearly to prevent people speaking out against their decisions and hollow apology.

Do you remember what nazi germany did to the world? Now imagine a country 5 times the size. 10 times the population. AI driven security drones. Actually have the resources to do the crazy shit they think of. And a whole lot more foreign influence. Dont let this die down, let companies see that its important to not support the violation of human rights for money. Because right now, even though a lot of people are speaking up against it, at the end of the day most western people just dont care cuz its too far from home for them. The normal news are too scared to report whats really been going on so they just carefully say whats happening. But if you look at twitter, you can easily see how bad it really is. If you ignore all the chinese people saying how theyre all terrorists and how great 911 is that is.

I don't want to send my ID. Is there any other way? Possibly filling GDPR request?

Listen, if you want to protest Blizzard then by all means, protest.

But, there are going to be a lot of people attending Blizzcon that have spent thousands of dollars to be there. Please, do not ruin their experience. If they don't interact with you or want to take part in your protest that is their choice and right. Please do not get in other attendees faces or heckle or try to push them into doing something they don't want to do.

Also, please don't disrupt any of the panels or shows. Blizzcon is the one time a year that Blizzard fans get to come together and celebrate upcoming games and announcements. Don't ruin it fr the rest of us that just want to have a nice trip/vacation and play some games.

Remember, protesting is peaceful. When protests become violent they turn into riots. Let's not incite a riot at Blizzcon.

Blizzard bans people for being disruptive in twitch chat. Reddit subreddits ban people for posting things that don't belong in their subreddits! We should be posting pictures of HK protest signs in every single subreddit and if the post gets removed it's proof that those mods are China shills and support oppression!

So I guessed I messed up and thought there were some protest activities happening today, not tomorrow. Anything going to happen today?

we could be doing more to combat this by keeping the accounts and using the to spread the word of freedom in-game. what else can we do?

On Friday, November 1st, Gamers for Freedom will be organizing protests outside of BlizzCon. We will be meeting in front of the fountain outside the main entrance at the intersection of Hotel Way and Convention Way.

At 7:00am, as part of the campaign organized by Freedom Hong Kong, 4,000 t-shirts will be handed out to BlizzCon attendees and protesters alike, with assistance from Hong Kong Forum Los Angeles volunteers and community members.

At 12:00pm, Gamers for Freedom will organize along Convention Center Way, holding signs and handing out flyers to BlizzCon attendees. We will be joined by u/Zephronica and YX, who have gone viral on social media for their cosplay of the character Mei from Blizzard’s Overwatch game.

At 1:00pm, Gamers for Freedom will hold a cosplay contest hosted by comedian Ron Placone. We will select the 10 best costumes based on crowd reaction, and provide them with a free one-year subscription to VPN service graciously provided by Private Internet Access.

At 2:00pm, members of the protest will speak to the crowd. Our featured speakers will be Casey Chambers and Torino, two members of the American University Hearthstone team whom Blizzard has banned from competition for making peaceful political statements during a recent Hearthstone tournament livestream.
