They'll not be as wow classic gold good from Cuiyanzhou's blog

Faced with this choice that was impossible, Blizzard resorted into the rulebook. But principles beat on values. The rage and disappointment among observers fans and Blizzard team is real and lasting. Riding out it and battening down the hatches isn't going to function. It's not about the accounts cancellations, which could never aspire to tip the scales of risk when there's a nation of 1.4 billion people on the other side. But it is all about a battle for Blizzard's values, its identity. Talent will be lost by it over this. It will lose loyalty. Respect will be lost by it.


Eventually, the games will endure. They'll not be as wow classic gold good, and players will desert them not for some ideological cause, but since they won't be as much fun any more. The magical will have gone.Now that is a risk that may sit on the other side of these scales and balance them maybe even trick them. That's something that should make Blizzard management stop and think about what value actually is, and what rules really mean, and possibly make a hard decision.


It is a choice the NBA, in circumstances that are even more pressured, has managed to make. League commissioner Adam Silver, enduring extreme criticism from both China and the US over the team manager's deleted tweet, made a statement firmly supporting the liberty of NBA players and team members to talk out. Silver has since shown he batted Chinese asks out to get the group manager fired. But, he said,"the values of the NBA - the American values, we're an American business - travel with us wherever we go. And among these values is totally free expression."


The NBA was in China longer than Blizzard, Riot, any Western movie games company. The scale of the financial consequences of this breaking with the authorities and its investment dwarf those for Blizzard. And yet, after a brief wobble, it's gold in wow classic put its worth initially, because the solution - losing its very identity - would be worse.This issue is not going away. The gaming world appears to Blizzard for leadership. It has two weeks before its courage to be found by BlizzCon.
