Wouldn't be surprised if their next step was to block the servers.

Not being racist at all, but blocking this game in China is a way to keep the game's economy from becoming too inflated. China is known for making prisoners farm massive multiplayer online video games for in-game currency that is then sold to users through a third-party vendor.

Blizzard should be ashamed of themselves for circumventing China's laws and should be prosecuted!

Blizzard isn't the one doing it. If you had any comprehension of the English language and read the full article you would see that. Bravo.

What a dumb article. We've been calling Diablo "Big Pineapple" since Diablo 1. Where have you been? The story made it sound like the pineapple name is purposely crated just to dodge the delay in release date. What's next? front page headline that Americans calling the McDonald the Mickey D? Good way to spin and twist something out of nothing.

Are you kidding me? Should all Chinese players be punished for that?

roflmao and it is because of articles like these i will never buy diablo 3, american [censored]

why should a united states product, in this case, a game, be allowed free reign in China without proper government oversight.

"free world" media likes to write stories that implicitly graft in the notion that China should behave as a united states colony, and when Chinese actions are inconsistent with American thug mentality and expectations, it is attributed, by shamelessly quoting pieces of facts that fit their story theme, to what they've indoctrinated us to believe is the self-contradictory existence of the Chinese.

American slogan: ya honey, in the name of my freedom, i come to rape you, and if you dare oppose this freedom, i will rape you and blame you for it

hey keyboard warriors, go fight American SOPA and PIPA internet Bills before you get too gitty laughing at others to patch ur sense of self worth

Are YOU kidding me? Are you going to let a LIE about chinese prisoners go UNCHALLENGED? Just because a diablo-3-playing, impressionable teenager DICTATES that something is "well known" as an attention grabbing device alerting us to his "insightful" analysis, you're going to take that as it comes?

Quite a good chance the boy/girl never even read of anything on Chinese prisoners, but he/she so indoctrinated against China that every WELL-KNOWN american crime against humanity is, to him/her, readily grafted onto China

what happens to american prisoners, o no, they're on the record for raping each other for cigarettes, show me some evidence that links prisoners with a game pls, or anywhere in the world if you can't find it in china

do the chinese people lack THAT much self-respect that they're going to buy an American game whose profits will in part support a future domination and rape of China? You will buy diablo 3 to support the thug nation of earth? I spit in ur face
