You got the basic gist of it. Blizzard banned a pro-Hearthstone player from competing next year for supporting the Hong Kong protests. This causes a huge amount of backlash from fans and they decide to boycott their games/burn their collections/chargeback their payments. To make matters worse, users are finding it a little hard to delete their Blizzard accounts and preventing payments from being canceled, creating an even bigger PR nightmare for Blizzard.

Not just. It was a full on year long ban.

Blizzard/Activision is a joke of a company. I'm glad to see them on fire. Them going bankrupt as unlikely as it is would be a blessing.

They cancelled the Overwatch on Switch launch event in NYC. I have little doubt it was due to the current events surrounding Blizz.
