    The timezone in Blizzard site is GMT. Do you honestly think that they wanted to publish it PRIME CHINA TIME, at saturday 5 am?

    Ah, I see outrage culture is alive and well in the gamer community.

    Friendly reminder that you can no longer buy new Mei merchandise...

    China has no effect, right?

    Don't believe me? Try to find the statue yourself, it's no longer possible.

    Disgusting.
    LOL that profile picture brings back memories, scariest pingu episode ever


    Ontopic: Was expecting something like this, pretty lame corporate bs response. I hope the community has a proper response at blizzcon.

    You can't "Bring the world together through epic entertainment" until the world is actually on the same page when it comes to human rights, and you can't choose to just ignore the violations while claiming that.
    these 3 statements must have been made by a child who lives in a bubble and mommy wipes its butt in the bathroom. geshhh

    "if Bliz was a real company" they are, the Real World is not like mom's basement.
    "Companies have a moral responsibility" again... it would help to venture out into the real world, .. they have a resp. to make $ for there investors. period.
    "bring the world together"... wtf its a gaming company they offer entertainment.. not world peace. geshhhh.

    sorry, these 3 comments just where way way off..

    Casters did a shit job out there and should not be casters anymore.

    Is it by any chance possible, that it's out of stock? I haven't used the store so I don't know how it works.

    Blizzard doesn't care. Quit or don't, but if you quit, just quit for good and walk away.

    Even if out of stock the item will still be up. It's also impossible for a pre-order item to be out of stock. They allow the statues to be back-ordered also.

They took down a preorder link because people were pre ordering the item so that they could leave comments in the product section (I am going to assume that they were then promptly canceling the pre order)
    China owns Winnie the Pooh also right?

    None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.

    He edits his post CONSTANTLY, it's impossible to talk anything with him. He needs to use more "critical thinking" before he post.

    >our relationships in China had no influence on our decision

    LMAO

    p.s.
    Stop editing your post you slippery rats.

    I turn my head away from MMORPG's for one moment and Blizz is self destructing with a China is greater than our customers elsewhere implosion. I might turn my head away but at least I'm not burying my head in the sand, dear Blizz.

    Free HK!

    So now you admit you "rephase" before you said you only "add things". It's really pathetic to change your post every time someone points out your flaws in logic.

    Well you either do business with China or you don't. I am sure that JAB and the employees at Blizzard aren't happy about this, but they can't just go and fuck off from China, because a good chunk of its playerbase, if not most of them, is from there.

    That is quite a passive-aggressive way to call someone a child "mr. adult" lmao. I suggest you keep out of the matter if you don't have any idea how China operates and what it bans.

    I don’t think his address in the opening ceremony of Blizzcon is going to go down well.
