Gamers propose punishing Blizzard for its anti-Hong Kong partisanship by flooding it with GDPR requests

Yeah but get real, the company doesn’t WANT anything to happen to the stock. The board members own stock, the CEO gets paid in stock, most of the employees typically have comany stock in their 401K especially since they can purchase it at a discount most of the time.

The CEO is getting fired if his “guidance” is “hey we’ve lost 1/3 of our revenue stream because we didn’t kowtow”

And when a Chinese corporation owns 10% of your company, then no, you are not “good to go” when you could have done something to preserve the stock’s value.

“Hearthstone Commentator”, sigh.

Now if you try to delete your Blizzard battle.net account, they are requiring that you send them a government issue ID.

What could they possibly be using that for? They just confirmed I own the account via email.

From the sound of things, they’re either completely overwhelmed with closure requests, resulting in a system failure, or they’re overwhelmed with closure requests, resulting in a “system failure”, if you know what I mean. Blah blah malice blah blah incompetence, the outcome is the same.

ETA:

To be fair, the game has a pretty large audience, and Magic: The Gathering has been doing tournament coverage and commentating at Grand Prix and other events for years now. It’s a sport, just not the kind that regularly results in CTEs.

Name one thing created by humans that can’t be exploited for bad purposes.
