In an interview with the Washington Post, Overwatch head honcho Jeff Kaplan stated that he believes Blitzchung’s suspension, “should be reduced more or eliminated.”
He stated that the suspension news came as a shock to him and his team and expressed relief when he learned that the suspension was eventually reduced,
“I’m obviously a huge supporter of free speech; it’s something that’s very important to me. It got to me personally. I think the punishment was too harsh and I was greatly relieved when they gave his money back. I think that was extremely important."
This comes off the back of Blizzard President J. Allen Brack saying, “I’m sorry,” during the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2019.
