It increases agressive behavior. Since "gamers" are primarily young males, being more agressive could lead to them "hurting" blizzard the only way they can; posting non-stop about it on social media, organizing protests, etc.

You might be right, but I think it's interesting to note that the gender ratio of Blizzard consumers is more balanced than is typical in the gaming industry. Still not balanced, but more balanced.

Yeah well I could argue that a sizeable part of these angry testosterone people are Apple users. What stopped them from "hurting" both ?
