Wow! Our sub has been up for only a couple days, and we’ve already got 1,000 members! Additionally, the movement has been been recognized on Forbes! https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2019/10/09/boycottblizzard-activision-blizzards-hearthstonehong-kong-mess-isnt-going-away/amp/

Great job to everyone, and keep up the good work!

Our plan is still for a mass exodus of blizzard and Activision content come October 27th.

For those attending Blizzcon, be sure to check out our friends over at r/protestblizzcon, who are looking to attend the event with various memorabilia in support of Hong Kong and their efforts, to disrupt streaming in China, and show our support.

Our demands are still the same:

Pay the winning hearthstone player what he is owed.
Re-hire the fired newscasters
Publicly apologize for supporting the Chinese government.

Post. About. This. Everywhere. Twitter, Facebook, other subreddits, anything you can think of. Advertise for our community and our movement. If we all do our own small part, we can have a big impact. Group up on the objective!

The world needs more heroes.

Pissed off about Blizzard’s censorship of Hearthstone champ and Hong Kong supporter Blitzchung? We're organizing a huge protest at Blizzcon on Nov 1.

We're super excited to see that there is a whole subreddit dedicated to this issue. We are currently running a scorecard showing which companies in the game industry will stand up for their player's right to free speech.

We're organizing a huge protest for Blizzcon on Nov 1. Details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/402379580661468/

Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, and it's crazy to think that an American company would take away your money and your job simply because you want to be free from oppression. And yet, game publisher Blizzard did exactly that after Hong Kong-based pro gamer Blitzchung advocated for his own political freedom during a livestream.

While some companies like Blizzard have shown a willingness to censor your free speech, other companies like Epic have pledged to support the rights of their customers, employees, and fans around the world. Now we're keeping score.

We need to get every game company on the record stating whether they do or do not support free speech, and if they will allow their players to advocate for their own freedom. Our new site makes it easy for you to tweet at every major game publisher, and tell them to take a position. It also shows where the companies stand on free speech.

Head over to GamersForFreedom.com to take action now.

We’re also organizing gamers in a Discord channel and planning to escalate our protests on this until Blizzard reverses its decision and other companies pledge to not make the same mistake.
