    But hey, how can you make value for your shareholders if you don't do what is necessary to do business in China? Bobby Kotick isn't the longest-term CEO in the tech industry (he's been in charge of Activision since 1991!) for no reason, after all... it's because he is good at business, and in this case that means not caring about silly little things like "human rights" or "freedom" and throwing anyone in the way under the bus if China demands it.

    After all, look at what's happening to the NBA right now, with China cancelling NGA TV games because of their commissioner saying that people in their league can say what they want. Activision doesn't want that to happen to them, they make far too much money there...

    So yeah, I get it, but I also entirely agree that it's unconscionably horrible for Actiblizz to do what they are doing. The current Chinese government is really horrible, and we should not just be ignoring that just in the name of (in this case a lot of) money.
