TLDR; Some madlad on Blizzard's PR payroll decided to say "Why hasn’t the bear stepped down?”
China is fuming
Diablo Immortal Banned In China
Jordan Sullivan
Ethan Nelson
Diablo franchise cancelled forever.
Nathaniel Brown
Here's the 'tweet' itself.
Liam Peterson
Man, are chinks THAT easily triggered?
David Foster
Xi is.
Blake Ortiz
The people? No. The man in charge of their government? Yes
Jonathan Fisher
>banned
It was postponed to July 7th. I don't think you know what "banned" means.
Landon Anderson
kek
Robert Barnes
I can't imagine what kind of things you can say to cause a trigger shit storm on Twitter
Andrew Gonzalez
>make game targeted at chinas huge paypig mobile gamer population
>not going to be allowed to be released in china
whew lads
Grayson Bennett
Did anyone answer the question though?
Julian Brooks
blizzard is a chinese company
Eli Ramirez
The Cope is 100% real. Besides, China was looking for a reason to get rid of some more 'Western influence'
Jordan Ortiz
>"Why hasn’t the bear stepped down?”
I still don't know what's going on.
David Sanders
Incredibly based, I hope Blizzes profit margins included the Chinese market and they thus got fucked because of thier retarded subhuman monetization practices that even the bugmen who subsist off of shitty p2w mobile games wont deal with.
Jeremiah Powell
Because he's president for life.
David Richardson
Anything. Many people on that site are schizophrenic enough to misconstrue anything you say or do.
Ethan Gomez
It would be cancelled in muttland if one of the devs said “men can’t get pregnant” or “george floyd died of an overdose”.
Landon Collins
You must be living under a rock damn.
Jacob Hill
They know they have power so they use it to dish out consequences for attempted slights. They learned well from western society.
Robert Morris
I dare you to write something offensive to Biden on twitter.
Justin Harris
You say that as if the west is lacking in forbidden words or opinions.
Bentley Clark
People protest games all the time. Remember Kingdom Come?
It would be like if the U.S Govt. outlawed it instead of just some litterally who being upset.
Zachary Brooks
This is the current B*izzard line "officially, this debacle hasn’t been given as the reason behind Diablo Immortal’s postponement. Instead, Blizzard have said the delay is to give developers time to make “a number of optimisation adjustments to the game”"
Right now the delay is from China thinking how big of a response they're going to give. If it doesn't end up at the VERY least as a ban for Immortal, i'd be surprised
Might even Ban all b*izz products
Hunter Gonzalez
>hes conveniently ignoring the daily over 9000 posts calling to kill biden and SCOTUS
okie dokie.
Brayden Taylor
It wouldn't, person in charge of tweet would be fired in the worst case scenario.
Sebastian Long
Can say whatever you want about the president. You can't, however, imply any ill intent.
Josiah Myers
The are leftist commies, jealousy and rage run through their veins. It is why when they are in charge millions of people are murdered.
Kayden Morgan
Hammond! You said WHAT, to Mr.Pooh?
Kayden Young
China will grow larger.
David James
>say word
>money stolen
heh nothing personnel kid
Jaxon Jenkins
>Verification not required.
Elijah Stewart
Just looked this up and it didn't get banned at all. It got delayed to july 7th a week ago.
Austin Clark
You don't fuck with president Pooh.
