Posted not by Blizzard but by Net-Ease, a Chinese company that isn't owned by Blizzard.

At the same time posted by a company officially representing Blizzard, unchallenged by Blizzard, and thus attributed to their brand.

> NetEase also partners with Blizzard Entertainment to operate local versions of Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, StarCraft II, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, Overwatch in China

I'd imagine a licensee, hosting nearly all their games, has much more responsibility in their public statements compared to Blitzchung

I don't own the law firm I use to defend myself in court, but I do pay them to act on my behalf. Blizzard has also not done anything to backpedal on that statement. Honestly, how many mental hoops did you have to jump through to convince yourself that Blizzard doesn't endorse what NetEase said?

They officially represent blizzard.

If blizzard thinks that they said something wrong, then the burden is on blizzard to correct the matter.

If belltacos lawyer makes a statement “belltaco supports child rape”, should we assume that belltaco is a nice guy just because he outsourced the vile statement?
