You know you fucked up when the politicians begin to get on your case.

Something greedy video game companies aught to get used to, considering recent developments.

J. Allen Brack finally gives an apology to the fans on the Blitzchung controversy, saying that Blizzard acted too fast. There’s just one problem:

It missed the entire fucking point.

There was no mention of the Hong Kong protest or free speech or anything else related. People aren’t enraged just because a player got banned; they’re enraged because that players was banned for exercising his free speech.

This isn’t a genuine apology. Even if it is genuine, it’s too late. The damage has been done, and there’s no fixing it.
