In this episode, we discuss Fortnite going down and their “The End” event, the boycott against Activision Blizzard after their ban of a player who expressed his views on the situation in Hong Kong, leaked names for new Call of Duty League teams, Google Stadia’s ridiculous comments about negative latency, Washington Post’s new dedicated esports section, and so much more with special guest Kye Browning!
Episode #47: Fortnite End, Blizzard Hong Kong Crisis, CoD League Names, Negative Latency
Maybe I’m being a bit naive but do you really think Blizzard’s action would have been different if a player had made a statement about Brexit or the troop withdrawal from Syria? I’d like to think that they would have taken the same punitive action against a player making any kind of political statement during the cast. Maybe not. Maybe they were totally trying to appease China but I’d like to think not.
