Former World of Warcraft Developer Drops WoW Sub Due To Blizzard's Ban - MMORPG.com
A former World of Warcraft developer has joined in the sweeping movement in the games industry that is seeing players cancel their World of Warcraft subscriptions. This is in direct response to how Blizzard has handled the situation surrounding a professional Hearthstone player supporting the plight of Hong Kong and Blizzard's subsequent ban on the player.

I bought a second one, I agree with speaking up for Hong Kong, I dont agree with doing it in the way he did, he did it while in a Blizzard sanctioned event that hes being paid for.
Before I respond to this comment and have everyone start flaming me because it doesn't suit their flowery view of the situation I want to say that I'm neither supporting nor against the Hong Kong protests.
That said I want to point out that a lot of people seem to not realize(or know) that the protests started when a Hong Kong citizen killed his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan and when the authorities asked for his extradition, Hong Kong agreed. So the protests started over people trying to defend someone who went with the plan on killing his pregnant girlfriend in another country knowing that there won't be any consequences. He isn't the first to do that. A lot of Hong Kong citizen's have done that before.
After that the protest might've escalated and evolved into something with more meaning, but let's not ignore what's part of the reason for the protests. People asking not to be extradited when they commit crimes(often times murder).
So support it if you want, but don't try to guilt people into doing the same.
Great call. Its only specifically about that and nothing else. The NBA, South Park, freedom of speech, liberty, the Uyghar Muslims, censorship, companies putting a market ahead of simple, easy values, et al, is just lies - this is only specifically about one person breaking one rule and that is the total sum of the argument.
I hope spending your money on a company that is doing its best to prop up a totalitarian commie regime correctly reflects your morals and foresight on this issue.
I completely agree freedom of speech works both ways. No one has a right to hide behind the constitution to force their values on someone else. I agree he should have been extradited. It has changed from the original issue. But hong kong went from a British territory to a communist country overnight.
Amazing piece of propaganda and slight of hand demonstrating how terrible lies can be made to sound reasonable.
Also Donald sterling should not have been fined or banned because we now live in a world where anything can be made out to be racist and is and even then it’s should be his right in a truly free society to have whatever opinion of people he wants that is freedom.
