Blizzard Entertainment came under intense scrutiny this past week when it decided to suspend pro Hearthstone player Chung Ng Wai (Blitzchung) for saying ?Liberate Hong Kong. Revolution of our age? during the Asia-Pacific Grandmasters. Many, including games industry professionals and politicians, saw the move as Blizzard cowering to China ? a charge that the company denies.
Kotaku has reported that multiple groups are now organizing protests outside BlizzCon 2019?s venue in wake of the controversy. The ProtestBlizzCon subreddit alone has gained a lot of traction, with groups on other sites like Discord also gaining momentum. For its part, Blizzard has penned a lengthy letter to its community, explaining its reasons and partially backing down by returning Wai?s prize money and reducing his suspension.
