Blizzard Bends the Knee To China

On Sunday, a Hong Kong born pro gamer expressed his support for his home country during an interview for a Blizzard Tournament. This ended with the player suspended, and would have been unnoticed had it not been for several other Chinese controversies this week. As boycotts to one of my favorite gaming companies flare up, we will see if Blizzard supports it's American, Freedom loving audience, or if they bend the knee to appease to an untapped market in southeast Asia.
