BoycottBlizzard continues as players disapprove of company's actions
The games' developed by Activision Blizzard have some of the most diehard fan bases of any company in the industry. Before Blizzard was acquired by Activision and had investment with Chinese technology firm Tencent, the company was one of the most popular and beloved publishers the world over. Blizzcon, a yearly celebration for Blizzard games and their community, has been going strong since 2005.
Sentiments have been eroding for years, but 2019 has been a tough time for those who still believe in the Blizzard of yore. In February, CEO of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick, said in an investor call that the company had its"best financial results... in the company's history" but still didn't realize its"full potential" and had to lay off 775 employees, or about eight percent of its staff.
Those inside the Blizzard campus in Irvine, California aren't thrilled with the company's ban of Wai Chung or these recent developments. On Tuesday, the"Think Globally" and"Every Voice Matters" lines underneath the large Orc riding a wolf statue that sits in front of the main entrance, had been covered up by notebook paper.Both the"Think Globally" and"Every Voice Matters" values have been covered up by incensed employees this morning.
