It's always nice to see an American company bend over for the Chinese.

"Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our age," Wai Chung shouted into his webcam in Chinese according to a translation by site Inven Global. The two casters streaming from Taipei ducked under their desks, saying "Ok, that's it Blitz bro," according to the translation. The clip of the incident, as well as the stream of the entire day of play, was removed from the Taiwanese Hearthstone channel, meaning that users can no longer see the footage on Twitch. The clip itself has gained traction on Reddit and Twitter, with many standing by Wai Chung's message.

The outrage was massive, people are still keeping up the momentum

Also the top post on /r/Blizzard was this flag. It got 45k upvotes in an hour, amounting to 182k in total before it got deleted.
It always makes me smile to see scummy and traitorous corporations screwed over. People are boycotting their games, some people even canceled their WoW subscriptions, Hearthstone players are quitting left and right. And to top it all off, even their employees are protesting.
Another win for us :cool:
