To be a fan of Blizzard Entertainment is to be part of a family, or so the company hopes. At the annual fan event, Blizzcon, the opening keynote is usually ended with the phrase, “Welcome home,” signifying the close relationship between the developers of popular games like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Diablo, and their players.
In 2019 that relationship was tested. In October, Blizzard punished Hong Kong Hearthstone pro Ng Wai “Blitzchung” Chung for publicly supporting the Hong Kong protests during an official Blizzard livestream.
