1 Satz 1 Blizzard Hongkong. - Blizzard im Verbannungswahn: US-Senatoren schreiten ein
Blizzard-Präsident Jay Allen Brack verkündete letzte Woche, dass die Suspendierung von Chung auf nur Hot Fruits Monate reduziert wird und ihm das Preisgeld nun doch zusteht, das Blizzard ursprünglich zurückgehalten hatte.
Here's IGN's translation:. The players involved will be banned, and the commentators involved will be immediately terminated from any official business.
Also, we will protect [or safeguard] our national dignity [or honor]. He said China "had no influence on our decision.
Blitzchung's ban has been reduced to six months from 12, and he'll receive his winnings from his recent tournament victory. The casters who conducted the postgame interview will also have a six-month ban.
After Blizzard reconsidered its punishment, Bliztchung released a statement via Twitter on Oct. He said he appreciates his reduced penalty, but he now questions his future with Hearthstone.
Honestly, I have no idea on that yet. I will take this time to relax myself to decide if I am staying in the competitive Hearthstone scene or not.
Blitzchung also said he would be careful expressing his opinion and showing support for the Hong Kong protests in the future. I'm not [regretful] of what I said.
Following the initial announcement about Blitchung's banning, gamers began expressing their disappointment and outrage on Twitter, causing BoycottBlizzard to trend.
Others canceled their subscriptions to World of Warcraft, including former Blizzard developer Mark Kern.
Some also began deleting their Battle. Hearthstone, the competitive card game central to this controversy, has been "review bombed. The Google Play Store , however, appears to have removed the negative reviews for the game.

Another step some are taking is attempting to make Mei -- a Chinese character in Blizzard's popular Overwatch game -- a symbol of the Hong Kong protest.
The hope is that the Chinese government will take note of the character's usage in protests and therefore ban the game.
In the wake of the backlash, a website called Gamers for Freedom went up. The group says "it's outrageous to think that an American company would take away your money and your job simply because you want to be free from oppression.
The organization behind the site, the nonprofit activist group Fight for the Future , held a protest at the company's fan convention set for Nov.
It passed out free t-shirts with the slogan "Mei with Hong Kong" on it. As for the event itself, there were few public protests made during the various panels with the exception of a couple of people saying "free Hong Kong" during one panel's QA session.
Gamers aren't the only ones upset over Blizzard's actions. Not everyone at Blizzard agrees with what happened.
Both the "Think Globally" and "Every Voice Matters" values have been covered up by incensed employees this morning. Dozens of employees also staged a walkout in protest , according to the Daily Beast.

Another user wrote: "This is not an apology. Once again, just like in the original statement Blizzard made, they're not apologizing for punishing Blitzchung, they're apologizing for 'moving too quickly,' and taking too long to make an official statement.
Still another said: "His long flowing locks aside, what does this even mean? The censorship of human life is indefensible.
