    Them and most other companies.

    If consumers start punishing companies for that by not giving them their business, it might change. But let's be real - almost no one will stop giving Blizzard money because of this.

    Pretty much any business that isn't some small local store panders to China. You don't look at 1.5 BILLION (5 times the number of the US) people and go "Naah they're unworthy."

    Hmm, flying change is similar to the double legendary change. Less of a hassle but takes about the same amount of time. Before it took something like 16 or 17 days of grinding the cypher thing and now you have to do some exploration, kill 10 rares, find 5 unique treasures and complete chapter 5 of the campaign which unlocks week 3. Depending on how often rares spawn it can be better or worse and a lot of the rares aren't soloable at the start. Later on if you upgraded pocopoc through the cypher thing you can let it tank or heal you to solo the rares. Not a big deal if you do the achievements at the begining of the patch but will probably be harder to find groups a month or so in when most people are finished with the zereth mortis content.

    It would've been better if they just reduced the resaerch time for the cypher thing. By doing your daily content in zereth mortis you'll gain more cyphers than you can use on the research (you can use the reast to craft pets and mounts). The cypher grind wasn't necessarily the problem but the long wait time of the research.

    I'm going to steelman Blizzard now regarding those reserved names: maybe they don't want people to get in trouble, and it's not like people will make the world better by getting a name like that.

    Though, I have a feeling it's to appease C "C" P. :l

    No, you look at a tyrannical, dictatorial, authoritarian regime that is their government and say, "They're too crazy to go anywhere near." See, it's not about the people of China, it's about their government.

    In theory yes, but closing yourself to Chinese markets is a totally ineffective way to influence the government if you're the only one doing it.

    Only a united economic front could possibly influence China's behavior, and that prospect is severely complicated by trade dependencies. At some point the world is going to have to rip off that bandage and it's not going to be pleasant.
