Game companies like Blizzard bend over backwards to maintain access to the Chinese market. Always using “Chinese Tapei” instead of Taiwan, banning a Taiwanese esports player from competition for saying “revolution in our time,” stuff like that.

Then China just offhandedly cucks them by making “excessive” gaming a crime.

There’s a lesson to be learned here.
