Hey, Blizzard "apologized", that makes everything fine now.
... What, their apology did not, in fact, contain any actions? They promised absolutely nothing beyond being sorry for ... unspecified things they did that they do not name and make no promise of any kind to change? BlitzChung's punishment was not changed, nor that for others who did similar things?
Uh, why is this an apology that many are accepting again? Just because Blizzard's now-head looked a bit sorry does not mean that that was anywhere near enough.
To try to distract people, Blizzard announced a bunch of stuff -- Diablo 4, a new World of Warcraft expansion, and Overwatch 2. Overwatch 2 sounds like it's going to kind of be a DLC addon for the first game -- basically Overwatch will turn into Overwatch 2, with all content carrying over but new stuff too. THere will be a new single player campaign and PvE (players vs. AI) modes in the paid DLC that Overwatch 2 sounds like it pretty much is. That's probably a good way to handle making a sequel to the game, though it'd be far better if they were getting rid of the horrible loot boxes... but that would require Blizzard to care a little more about something other than making as much money as possible and as their new no-action "apology" about China shows, they aren't likely to do that.
