BIZZARD Ruins reputation in America to maintain good relationship with Chinese government so the Chinese will keep buying your microtransaction laden games ERTAINHEN BIZARD China introduces stricter TERTAINHENT gaming regulations to curb gaming addiction and excessive spending on microtransactions

ANAHEIM, CA—In a surprise announcement at BlizzCon over the weekend, Blizzard confirmed they've added President Xi to the Overwatch roster of heroes.
Blizzard has denied that the move was made to appease China.
"Here he is, the hero you've all been waiting for, the great, flawless leader... President! Xi! Jinping!" Blizzard President J. Allen Brack declared in a speech. There were several boos from the crowd, but these quickly disappeared after the sounds of muffled sniper fire.
"We know we've handled this Hong Kong thing poorly, and this is our way to apologize to you, the fans," he added. "You can play as the great hero President Xi, he whom we all love, adore, and cherish."
President Xi will be invulnerable in the game, of course, and will have overpowered abilities, such as the "Secret Police" ability, which lets him immediately arrest all the other players, detain them indefinitely, and execute them if desired. He will also have the "Puppet String" ability where he can make other players do whatever he wants by dangling cash in front of them.
Blizzard will also be banning anyone who doesn't select Xi while playing the game and reporting them to Chinese authorities.

Give it a week. We'll see if epic holds true to their word when China tells them to censor/remove a game.

More a case of Pragmatic Villainy, I feel: they're doing this not for moral reasons, but rather to make sure early on that they're not going to fall into the same PR-nightmare pit.
