Not surprised, Blizzard caters to the chinese market like crazy, despite Tecent stealing and ripping off hearthstone. Here's a recent update thread and covers a bunch of art they change/censored. Got rid of all T&A and blood.

Blizzard games all kind of suck lately anyway. Blizzard is going to be the next Sega

If Blizzard had chance to suck off Jin Xin (idk how to write his surname(?) out so don't quote me on it) then they would do it 100%. But honestly, they deserve the backlash they're getting right now, what they did was basically scummy.

You write his surname as Pooh; Winnie the Pooh

Oh right, Winnie the Pooh it is. How could I forget!

K, I'm gonna seed torrents of every popular Blizzard game. This shit has to stop. Companies that kowtow to tyrants need to start paying for it.

So just Diablo II ? :p

Only game I ever played and liked, I was too old and WoW was like Nah, GuildWars bb! about the skills because lvl 20 (max) you reach in one (sun)day and from there on out it's about build but mostly... play.

I see some people pulling away from Blizzard, hopefully this will lead to a movement.

Would be a real shame if this all got spread out unto every possible image upload service you can think off, if someone has still a FB/Towitter/Instagram account.. maybe hit them up, I mean to warn them NOT TO UPLOAD these images :p

[Uhhh China and India are the most poluting nations... yet we gib them moneys and bend for them our wills just to publish our sheit.]

I think they can't make better games anymore, their games often sucks, therefore they fear loss the market of China. Chinese gamers tend to love pay to win games.
