This is really unfortunate. I don’t game a ton, but when I do I pretty much only play Starcraft or Overwatch. Long time fan of the GSL as well.

I know it’s nothing but a drop in the bucket but I will no longer support Blizzard - time to find another game.

Perhaps we should organize a day of protest across all blizzard games.

I think it’s pretty telling that I don’t feel comfortable posting this on my main account.

Or, you know, gamers need to grow some moral principles and stop giving companies like this money. I already didn't like where Blizzard was going, this seals it for me. I'm not giving them any more money.

Fortunately the games mentioned don’t require any money other than the initial upfront cost, hence the protest. Protesting could also vastly raise queue times, making the experience i enjoyable for many.

But I agree, I’ll never spend another $ on anything blizzard unless they take a different stand on the issue.
