Blizzard OFFICIAL US Statement ORIGINATED In CHINA & Mei Gets BANNED!
95This is a serious face palm moment from Activision Blizzard, one of the largest video game companies on the planet. They have officially published an 'apology' of sorts, a statement discussing the situation regarding blitzchung and his hearthstone championship debacle. While they have reinstated his prize winnings, the way they do so is a slap in the face to gamers everywhere. Stating that China had nothing to do with it is a load that no one can seem to comprehend, and for good reason.
