Context: Blizzard Entertainment has put in their shop a “charity bundle” for Ukraine. I haven’t looked that deeply into it but my thoughts are it’s promoted by Mila Kunis (liberal celebrity) and probably funnels money to the corrupt Ukrainian regime.

While helping the Ukrainian people is obviously not wrong, this company also chose to cut off the Russian people from their services, basically pointing a gun at them and telling them they can only have their treats back when they overthrow their government. So if the Russian people are to be held to account for the alleged problems of their government and collectively punished, why not the Ukrainian people? Seems hypocritical and it is predicated on the denial of Nazism and the fascism of the Ukraine regime.

    yea being punished for something you have no control over sucks ass and I don’t blame Russian gamers for pirating everything they can. Thankfully modern day Blizzard seems allergic to putting out good games so I’m not tempted to play them lol
