Since Blizzard posted their statement regarding the Blitzchung HearthStone ban controversy, it seems conspiracy theory crafting has ramped up. There are three so far, the Mei statue being removed from the Blizzard store, the date being off for the statement by 1 day, and also the theory that the statement was written by a Chinese speaker. I discuss these and offer up my own opinion on these new controversy topics.
