Blizzard's reputation collapsed in just three years
I&#x27;m not under an illusion that it does any good, but I swore off all Blizzard products after the Blitzchung incident. It doesn&#x27;t feel right giving money to a company that would side with the CCP over human rights in Hong Kong. I&#x27;d previously played Hearthstone and Overwatch, and I&#x27;d been a Blizzard fan since the original Warcraft. That happy company is dead, and something ugly is animating its corpse.<p>I think company founders are often great, idealistic people. People who genuinely want to make the world better.<p>When they step aside, however, the people who take over after them tend to be terrifying: zero empathy creatures who favor profit maximization over any and all human cost. Does anyone know why this happens?
