My statement on Blitzchung and Blizzard
I would like to start by saying that I have nothing but admiration for Blitzchung for his choice. It was a very brave thing to do in standing up for what he believes in. The people of Hong Kong deserve justice and I support everyone fighting for democracy and freedom anywhere.
I also have immense admiration for Kibler and Admirable for their decision. They are some of the best people I know and will continue to inspire me long into the future. I appreciate how difficult of a choice it was for them.
However, when it comes to my own position as a Hearthstone caster, I plan on fulfilling my current obligations and continuing to cast Hearthstone in the future.
I am saddened by the choices made by Activision Blizzard and do not agree with them, but hope that anyone reading can understand that I can disagree with their choices and still be affiliated with them.
I don't imagine this message will reach many beyond a fairly small group in the Hearthstone community, and therefore I imagine that many of you reading will know exactly how much this community means to me. Hearthstone is my entire life, and has been for the past 4 years. I spend most of my days playing Hearthstone and when I'm not playing it, I'm watching it or making terrible memes about it. All of my friends play Hearthstone too. The fact that I have been able to forge a career out of something that means so much to me continues to amaze, humble and honour me. I'm not ready to give it up.
