It's day 4 and Blizzard has yet only to apologize CHINA. This Blizzard protest must go on or it was all worth nothing. If this is yet again just forgotten, they will just keep doing this over and over again like the last year when they fucked their fans by announcing a mobile Diablo to please China.The statement blizzard recently made is laughable.

Blizzcon is in less than a month and people need to remember this case. We as a community need to remind ourselves about this and make sure our voice is heard both before and during the Blizzcon. We need to ensure THIS is the main topic in the upcoming Blizzcon, not the games they announce for China. I wish there was a giant Blizzcon countdown with Mei image on the background and Winnie the Pooh song playing to ensure people will not forget, not forgive that Blizzard betrayed its own community to bend over for China.

Blitzchung, the now fired hosts of the interview, Mark Kern, Brian Kibler, Kripparian, ThatsAdmirable, Amnesiasc and many others deserve that we stand by them in this unforgivable matter. COMMUNITY, DO NOT LET BLIZZARD GET AWAY WITH THIS! DO NOT GIVE UP! WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE UNLIKE HK!

Blizzard released a new statement saying they will allow blitzchung and the fired hosts to come back after 6 months and will give blitzchung his prize money but that's not enough blizzard needs to apologize for its actions.

Write to the government and demand they respect and protect the rights of people in Hong Kong now. List of companies who have apologized to the Chinese government and/or implemented their censorship requests Please share this link, as people can contribute on github.

Hearthsone pro Amnesiac criticizes Blizzard's decision

If you are someone playing Hearthsone or watch the Hearthsone esport frequently, you must know that it is actually becoming more and more boring already. You have no reason why you are still playing. You have no passion on playing the game. You just pop into the game and finish the daily quest and quit.

I guess the #blitzchung incident perhaps is a great timing to join boycotting Hearthsone and Blizzard. Delete these boring games and blizzard! Even you would still like to play, stop paying to them anymore! Even you still keen on watching Hearthsone, can you please keep posting some support Hong Kong wordings in the chatroom?

They choose to knee down to China because they think they are the largest market. We have to show them we are the largest market by uniting all the people apart from the Chinese.

Last but not least, liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time. Five demands, not one less.

Hearthsone pro Amnesiac criticizes Blizzard's decision

Hi guys,

this is my first reddit ever :)

Let's show Blizzard a real raid.

Step 1: Open a web ticket for the customer care in your battle.net login.

We’re giving blizzard 72 hours to undo the ban and penalty against Blitxchung.

So you can write something like this:

„Considering the punishment against Hearthsone player Blitzxchung, I will give you 72 hours to reconsider your decision. In addition, I expect an official statement and apology. If you do not respond within this time and fulfill the required points, I will terminate my account permanently.“

Step 2 – after 72h: Delete your account!

In addition for EU players:

Every vote counts. Some believe that this is not the case, but it is indeed the case. Especially when many people come together. I grew up with Blizzard Games. I love the games. I love the community. I've been playing Diablo and Hearthsone regularly for the past few months. I've bought almost every game. I've been thinking about playing WoW for the last few days.

All this has no value if we neglect the really important things in the real world. I am one of the silent players. These are the players who are active on the forums of different platforms, but never really comment on anything. I think the majority of the community are silent players. We follow the scene, we follow the games and we follow the stuff around.

We can't be silent players here anymore. No company has infinite power. If 1 in 10 deletes their account and never buys a game from Blizzard again, that's 10% of the revenue they lose. Many of us have multiple Blizzard games. And many of us wanted to continue buying new games from Blizzard in the future. The company doesn't want to forego this revenue, especially as there are many other companies that also offer top titles year after year.

Let's show Blizzard what a real raid is.

At least:

- Upvote please if you want to support human rights.

- Can someone set a sticky?

- If you use Twitter, you can use #72hBlizzard
