SEND A MESSAGE TO GAME DEVELOPERS

We’ve repeatedly asked game companies for clarification on their censorship policies, but we’ve heard nothing back. Click the button below to send a message to big companies and important indie studios. If you're unsure what to say, use our pre-written message. But game developers like to know that they're hearing from real people, so feel free to write something personal. Be polite and encourage them to be braver than Blizzard.

WE PROTESTED AT BLIZZCON

On November 1st and November 2nd, hundreds of gamers descended on BlizzCon to protest Blizzard’s unfair censorship. Together with Freedom Hong Kong, Hong Kong Forum Los Angeles, and countless volunteers, we handed out over 4,000 t-shirts to BlizzCon attendees. We heard speeches from members of the American University Hearthstone team that Blizzard banned for their peaceful act of political protest. We hosted a cosplay contest. We took pictures. We chanted. And we made headlines around the globe, as media outlets like the New York Times, Kotaku, and ESPN reported on our movement.

Blizzard may not believe in its own corporate values. But we do. We believe that every voice matters, so we speak up for those who are being silenced. We think globally, so we support our fellow gamers around the world who are living in fear of political persecution. We are leading responsibly by organizing acts of peaceful political protests. And we'll keep fighting until Blizzard makes this right, because we believe that our world is worth fighting for.

Immutable — the studio behind card game Gods Unchained — offered to pay for Ng Wai Chung’s lost tournament winnings, and granted him free entry into their upcoming $500K tournament. So if you’ve been playing Hearthstone, why not try out Gods Unchained instead? And if you’ve been playing other games developed or published by Activision Blizzard, consider trying a better, more ethical alternative:
