re: Blizzard Q121 financials: has lost almost 29% of its overall active player base in 3 yrs

How much did this problem intensify after its handling of some controversies involving Hong Kong protests being mentioned by a tournament winner?

Blizzard had fricked up in a number of ways by ignoring the US computer base in favor of the handheld game market favored by the Chinese, with Diablo being a flashpoint on that front, but banning a player and the interviewer for mentioning the HK protests when they have gone whole hog on other protests rubbed people the wrong way.
