Given bungie's ties to the Chinese company NetEase, I am wondering where they stand on this topic.
Bungie puts themselves out there as a company that believes "everyone's voice matters". Would they back that up in this case or would they side with blizzard?
I would like to think that bungie wouldn't sink to blizzard's level of hypocrisy, where social issues are high priority...... up until it threatens to cost them a little communist cash.

Apparently, some Blizzard employees have staged a walkout because of the company's actions. Nice. Hopefully, they don't get fired as well.

This the future right here folks. Just watch as China uses is growing economic power to throttle freedom of speech in the rest of the world. Within the next ten years they are predicted to overtake the US as the worlds largest economy. This type of thing is going to become more and more common.
