Unlike Blizzard, Epic Games says it won’t ban players for political speech

Fortnite developer Epic Games said in a statement that it will not ban players
 or content creators for political speech. The message comes after Blizzard ca
ught fire this week for banning a professional Hearthstone player for shouting
 a statement associated with Hong Kong protesters.

“Epic supports everyone’s right to express their views on politics and human
 rights. We wouldn’t ban or punish a Fortnite player or content creator for s
peaking on these topics,” an Epic Games spokesperson told The Verge.

Over the weekend, Blizzard banned Hearthstone player Ng “Blitzchung” Wai Chu
ng from participating in tournaments after he voiced support for the protester
s in Hong Kong. In a post-game interview on Sunday, Blitzchung said, “Liberat
e Hong Kong. Revolution of our age!” Now, he cannot participate in any tourna
ments for an entire year (effective October 5th), and Blizzard is withholding
any prize money he would have received in the Grandmasters tournament over the
 weekend. Those forfeited winnings have been reported to total around $10,000.

In an interview with AFP, Blitzchung said, “I don’t regret saying that stuff
 And even now, I don’t regret it at all.”

Blizzard responded to the criticism saying in a statement that it stands “by
one’s right to express individual thoughts and opinions,” but Blitzchung vio
lated a competition rule that prohibits players from doing anything that would
 bring “[them] into public disrepute,” offend “a portion or group of the pu
blic,” or damage Blizzard’s image.

Following Blizzard’s decision, the company’s own forums and subreddits dedic
ated to its games ballooned with messages from angry fans condemning the ban.
The r/Blizzard subreddit went down for a few hours on Tuesday after the board
was overrun with memes and posts calling for players to boycott Blizzard and i
ts games like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Hearthstone.

Senators on both sides of the aisle have also taken notice, tweeting out state
ments criticizing Blizzard’s move. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) said, “Blizzard sho
ws it is willing to humiliate itself to please the Chinese Communist Party.”
He continued, “No American company should censor calls for freedom to make a
quick buck.”
