Blizzard apology does not silence protestors at BlizzCon 2019
The apology Blizzard issued today, regarding the HeathStone pro banned for supporting the Hong Kong protests, has not silenced protestors at BlizzCon 2019.
A collection of groups gathered in the street leading to the Anaheim Convention Center, where the event is being held. The groups included people dressed as Winnie the Pooh, a character banned by China. They banded together holding placards, chanting (I heard "Blitzchung did nothing wrong - free Hong Kong") and handing out signs, t-shirts and stickers to passers by.
I talked to them immediately following the opening ceremony to see if Blizzard president J. Allen Brack's apology had had any effect.
