Measuring things by stock prices is not the whole story, long term it would have hurt them, which is why they reversed course.

They only reversed the prize money he won. They are still upholding their no politics rules just making the punishment they handed out less by half. In less time those who advocated for deleting their accounts will probably be back activating their accounts giving even more money as if nothing had happened. Who wins then ?

That's none of my business, and I originally said punishment was fine, but that their punishment in this particular case was too severe, and now they have corrected. Regardless they still are not getting my money. Too much Activision influence has ruined a company I used to love, this is only one of the many things I can point to.

Thankfully Lord Gaben still delivers all my needs.

BLIZZARD FINALLY CAVED LMAO they got scared of the blizzcon protests LMAO

Anyone who believes that needs to learn reading between the lines. The statement was already made and most certainly under heavy debate already. Coming back on it now is too little too late and completely not credible anymore.

Good chance China will confiscate the prize money after all and seize the poor sap's gaming gear for good measure.

Hypocrisy.

Don't rub in the wound man, we still got that horrible card game and no Half Life 3. I'm crying in my soul.

Don't worry, keep the faith. Lord Gaben simply got distracted by the strip club, but he has found the path of Light once again, and soon His Radiance will shine upon us all!
