Blizzard Employees Staged a Walkout to Protest Banned Pro-Hong Kong Gamer
I can't verify this but a video game YouTube channel I subscribe to has reported that the following statement was released on Chinese social media by Blizzard representatives:<p>"We are very angered and disappointed at what happened at 
the event and do not condone it in any way. We also highly 
object the spreading of personal political beliefs in this 
manner. Effective immediately we've banned the contestant 
from events and terminated work with the broadcasters. We 
will always respect and defend the pride of our country."<p>If true, the Chinese side of Blizzard is anti-Western values and the US corporate side is ultimately responsible for allowing the situation to happen.<p>As the US/China trade war drags on, as the HK protests continue, I think US corporations will have to choose between profits or values.  Some brands and reputations will be reinforced, others--like Blizzard--will take a massive hit.
