I'm still on the fence. I'm still boycotting. I've come around to the position thou that there are redeeming steps Blizz can take.

I play sc2, which is free to play. I changed my account name for "FreedomForHK". I play on Asian servers and responses have been very positive so far.

You've "come around" to that position? Are you suggesting that the baseline isn't that position?

No one is suggesting Blizzard is irredeemable, it's just very unlikely, given Blizzard's past behavior, that they're going to take the necessary steps to fix this.

Honestly, what the heck are you even talking about? You sound like someone who is actively trying to misrepresent the situation...

I actually started out thinking Blizzard could do nothing to redeem themselves. What level of action would make me believe they could be a trusted honest actor on the cultural stage given the capitulation to CCP interest?

I cancelled my WoW subscription and uninstalled all their games, quit following the streamers that produced content for Blizz games and started speaking out on social media against them.

Their actions felt like betrayal of values I hold very dear. I'm active in politics locally and donate time to the Pirates (lucky enough to live in Iceland where they actually have made a huge difference).

A statement like Randy Marsh made - “F—— the Chinese government” - seems like a candidate for a redemption ;)

You tell me! You just wrote:

What is this conversation?
