"I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision," wrote J. Allen Brack in a blog post on Friday evening.
"Our esports programs are an expression of our vision and our values," he continued, before stating that Blizzard's goal is to "build diverse and inclusive communities." "I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision," Brack wrote. "We have these rules to keep the focus on the game and on the tournament to the benefit of a global audience, and that was the only consideration in the actions we took. If this had been the opposing viewpoint delivered in the same divisive and deliberate way, we would have felt and acted the same.
