The absolutely hilarious terrible irony of Riot being lauded and praised as the hero we deserve (over Blizzard, the evil stagnant conglomerate bowing down to the horrendous commies) is that they're literally owned by Tencent (just as much as Epic Games, the other evil corporate overlord) it's almost like these companies, being (owned) operated as totally separate entities means that they <b>are</b> in fact separate entities; so Blizzard is often influenced as much as your friends are (because there's no doubting the loudest cries are those of an infantile nature) by their parents. Just because their parents happen to be Asian, doesn't mean you get to stereotype them.<br><br><br>If you're still here: start judging individual instances in their own bubble but also start looking at the bigger picture. People's attention span (and there's hard evidence on Google Trends) hardly lasts over 3 months. <br><br><br>If Blizzard was to lay people off, people would connect the two. If they lay low and announce a Diablo 4 in 3 months (without controversy between now and then) people would buy it day one, 6 months later. People are very, very predictable in large groups.
