It’s embarrassing and hypocritical that Acti/Blizz lobbied the US government for free speech protections from 2000-2012 when the gov tried to censor games. Now they support and perform censorship for people asking for democratic rights.

One fundamental problem I see: if it's *not* about politics, then there was no reason for a Blizzard subsidiary to provide an apology to China.
