There's clearly a bigger play here that other large players in entertainment aren't valuing the same way. What is it?
All the western tech companies all had shitty alterior motives for wanting to buy us.
Amazon wants to use you to get more prime subscribers. Microsoft wants you to develop games as exclusives for their platforms. Etc etc.
You talk to other companies western tech buys and its stories about how they come in and meddle.
Only Tencent wants to buy you so that you can keep doing the thing you are doing without screwing around with your company. They have a very good reputation for this and it’s deserved.
Blizzard proceeded to ban the player, take away his prizemoney and also fire the live stream casters.
Following community criticism, they gave back the prizemoney to the player and reduced his ban to 6 months. Also, they said "the specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made". But in the official Blizzard Weibo account, they had mentioned they applied the ban to "protect China's national dignity".

Don't appreciate someone pointing out the fact that "Play stupid games" is mouth noise? Play stupid games...
Doesn't seem shitty to me.
