Mark Kern (ex-lead WoW dev, and dev for Starcraft/Warcraft/Diablo 2) posted a good analysis of Blizzard's statement on Blitzchung.

It's been a really, really wild ride seeing lefty twitter and righty twitter hold hands and agree that Blizzard did the wrong thing. (Though for different reasons.)
how are these relevant to the subject at hand, particularly the second issue? it comes across like fnords
Don't read that thread and expect to learn much or gain insight, save for the fact that Blizzard really messed up here.
It should be easy to quote a tweet where he celebrates the harassment of female game developers, instead of making people take your word for it.
Also what do you think is more relevant? your "Gamergate petty bullshit" or the fact that Mark Kern is Taiwanese national and grew up in Hong Kong himself? And had a significant role at Blizzard?
What Mark Kern thinks about Gamergate is completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand, but you people can't help it. Personal attacks are all you know to discredit others.
but you people can't help it
Personal attacks are all you know
No idea if he legit supports democracy in Hong Kong, but his HK tweets:
* Show primary evidence of Netease (Blizzard China) directly contradicting Blizzard’s US press release
* Cite where in the Hearthstone rules Blizzard illegitimately chose warrant for their action (the rules prohibit making Blizzard look bad in the public eye, not unknowingly disgruntling Chinese investors)
* Give context to dispel any benefit of the doubt for Blizzard and how its execs operate
Perhaps the man is an axe murderer... useful context, but at the end of the day there’s (for better or worse) useful substance in his message
