Blizzard now banning players for using the name Trump

Holy shit. This more laughable than Ubisoft censoring Gamergate as a swear word.

That's a pretty bold stance they're taking. There's no way this can possibly blow up in their faces. Right?

TRUMP CURSE INCOMING
post yfw Blizzard dies

All Blizzard have now is overwatch.

His name is a Killing Word.

This shit is why I don't touch anything to do with Blizzard. They can go fuck themselves. As a matter of fact, ANY company who thinks they can police their players like this deserves to go bankrupt.

LOL

Has this been happening to other users with names like that too?

In any case good job Blizzard, you have stopped another 4chan troll!

[citation needed]

his curse tends to manifest in killing or injuring individual people, not really killing companies. I'm fine with either at this point though.

b-but muh CNN said so

let it all burn

if donald dubs then blizzard dies

My name is moonman, do you think they'll catch on? and yes I stopped playing a long while ago, because all my friends who nagged me to get overwatch stopped as well

Oh they've done it now.

BRING OUT THE FROG


Fucking reddit

My favorite is the 35% approval. Remember how well the polls worked out during the election?

...

Would you speak them to me?


Trump (or Adolf Drumpf, as I like to call him) was eternally BTFO because his fascist health care reform bill failed due to the bravery of PoCs uniting against his bigotry, hate speech, homophobia, sexism, racism, Islamaphobia, misogyny, and general gross creepiness! How will he ever recover!? ;)

Trump's had an effect on stock prices too, don't forget.

This is some next level shit. I remember thinking once the 9/11 shitstorm calmed down people would stop being such pussies. I wish I could go back 15 years and just tell myself not to get my fucking hopes up.

You know the saddest part about this is, someone out there actually believes that shit.

Yeah but when has that actually killed a company? Call me petty but I won't be satisfied until the doors and Blizzard HQ are closed and windows boarded.

Pretty sure that 35% was only among democrats they interviewed.

Blizzard doesn't need Trump's help to be killed. Just look what they are doing with wow

I won't be satisifed until every Blizzard employee is burned alive out of their rat-infested shithole they call an HQ………………

and nothing of value will be lost.

Pretty good approval rating considering the Democrat brainwashing.

You also could never use a name with "Hitler" in it.
So it makes sense they would do this since they think Trump is literally Hitler.

Can you use Hillary as a name? Or any of these names but deformed and with some sort of pun joke included?

god you guys are a cup shy of clickbait at this point

>yesterday a bunch of my friend group told me they were getting into Overwatch on PS4, hassled me to get it

Dodged a fucking bullet.

Hillary Mao Stalin Pol_Pot all fine.
Only Hitler Trump and swear words are blocked.

Regardless, Blizzard still bans players for doing things they dislike, which is unacceptable

...

Just change your name to Trumpet____. You can still trigger morons. Don't give in to this bs.

The best way to not give into it is to not play the game at all.

I've been enjoying Nioh, Yakuza 0, Gravity Rush 2, Project DIVA: Future Tone, NieR: Automata (imported Japanese release), etc. That, and I buy systems my friends have.

You'd have more reason to give me shit for owning an Xbone + Switch too.

Maybe do some research next time.

What exclusives does it even have that haven't been ruined by shitty dev teams? The Switch will (eventually) have games.

maybe read next time

This isn't about WoW you illiterate shill.

I already stopped playing. I rented it for a week until I got utterly bored with it.

Except that's not true.
I've seen tons of names that violate that and they weren't blocked or changed in the various blizzard games.

But he's a fictional character, how is he a reference to the real word?

what's next, you think Santa isn't real?

Not regardless, you guys are reaching. he wasn't banned he had his name changed.
And you have no context on his actions taken with it.
literally dindu notin
'm sure there are still hundreds of people with trump somewhere in thier names. You aren't being attacked because you want to support him

Not much, but I gameshare with a friend so I get free vidya on it. Halo is.alright, Rare Replay is pretty great, most of what I use it for is 360 BC.

Nice try shill

It's based on reports, if people report your name enough, it gets reviewed and if Blizzard deems the reports valid, forces name changes, suspends, or outright bans depending on the severity.


Overwatch will have the same damn policies, working exactly the same way, whether it's Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, WoW or Overwatch.

They wouldn't be ok with something like this in one game and then not in another game.

Prove it

I should be thankful though, since it drove me to quit xbox completely
The only game I've seen in their lineup that I genuinely want
Are the Xbone failure rates so much lower than the 360 to warrant having it over its predecessor?

I'm in the same boat
goddamn roommates nagging me to drop $40 only for them to stop playing a month later
mfw I gave Blizzard money

Wew.
And i thought (((grand theft auto))) 5 was bad for censoring words like 'jew' and 'aryan'.

...

Sorry user but they aren't your friends

The rule is against having references to real people in your name you autistic apes

even toontown rewritten lets you name yourself moonman

So you can't be named John or Bob? Im sure that there are a couple of guys named like that

You can't be named John Goodman or Bob Saget, no

t. John Bob

t. John Bob

Well, the emulation was pretty sketchy at first but nowadays it's more or less the best way to play the 360 games that are supported. Better framerates, no screen-tearing, ability to take screenshots and videos, etc.

To put it in perspective, a new Xbox 360 with a 500GB HDD is around $200 with a game. I got my Xbone S for $250, and it came with Halo 5, MCC, and Forza Horizon 3 (at the time, Forza had just come out so it was an even better deal.)

I figured the difference in the cost was worth it at that point.

trump names are comedy gold even if you're for or against the guy. why is blizz trying to damage control something where there is no damage

Nigger I have seen so many joke celebrity names in wow that it is very blatant that even if this applied to overwatch it is a very un enforced rule.

For those reasons it doesn't sound completely awful if you have the money user. At least now that it rolled back the insane Orwellian plans.

it's really about who you annoy. i had a rogue named buttcut on a pvp server. i started winning. guess what happened?

i had an undead priest who only ran dungeons as a healer named toiletstore. they haven't forced me to change his name.

Lazy piece of shit.

Blizzard bans the names of famous people since WoW you fucking retard. Sage because OP is a fag.

negated

I'll give MS credit where credit is due, they've managed to make the most of their position - and at least for me, they've been handling BC pretty well. Twice a week they'll drop between 2 to 4 new BC games, so it helps the release schedule seem better when, say, Catherine gets BC support and then goes on sale for $3 digitally. Generally their "free games" offerings for paying for XBL (which I mooch off my friend) are pretty decent at worst too, and honestly that Xbox Game Pass idea sounds like something I'd honestly use.

I'm still gonna be playing on PC/PS4/Handhelds more often, but the Xbone is there for quieter release months when I don't have a clue what to play. There's always gonna be something cheap and good for me to play, even if it's neither exclusive nor a recent release.

But what if that's my actual name? Is Blizzard going to ban me for using the name that I was born with? Is Blizzard going to pay for my legal name change?
This is gay

hey, have we heard from that chink who plays hearthstone lately? his name was trump.

...

What about Hillary?

...

Those are all on console. Names there are the responsibility of M$ and $ony

Isn't Mr.President planning to sign a bill that allows ISP to sell user data?

see

overbuff.com/search?q=

...

I think it was approved by the Senate 50-48. The president has yet to look into or even veto it. The selling of ISP information is in that but there is a control change from the FCC to the FTC.

Well the FTC at least tried to stop clickbait during GG so they're a little better I guess.

Literally nothing.

For those who don't know: Blizzard are obligated to follow through with name/Battletag changes if someone reports it, regardless of how unoffensive it may actually be.

...

...

GO HOME OVERCUCK

At least I got a fun game out of it.

...

Isn't Heartstone their biggest moneymaker?

Haha what a cute girl in that jiff, do you mind if I save it?

This is the same company who wordfiltered "gg ez" and made the game's .ini uneditable. What the fuck were you expecting? This is so fucking disgusting. I can actually taste bile in my mouth. If these pinko faggots hate the president so much then they should not be allowed to do business in America. Period. The only reason these fucking faggots have so much money is because they skirt US tax laws anyway.

Hmm, I wonder why they hate Trump then, since he is gonna make everyone pay fairly.

This timeline is unreal.

Snowflakes would always jump back & screech "OMG REALLY?! HOW IS THIS A THING?!" over complete non-issues they were indoctrinated to whine about, but this is truly on a level of insanity that warrants such a reaction. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG THIS THESE PEOPLE?

Agreed, individuals should have their rights removed for wrongthink.

being unemployed is one hell of a drug

Fuck yourself off the deep end of a cliff, you piece of shit. If they can't respect Trump's right to be president he shouldn't respect their right to do business in this country.

OK, ill post it when they die as you said.

you're tapped if you think this will kill blizzard

Holla Forums truly is dead.

I'm agreeing with you user, hell Blizz execs should be thrown in prison for even thinking that they can run a private business however they so choose which is to say, daring to run it into the ground.

Silence them is not the answer though, plus most of them are bad at business so it's not like you need to step in to see them fail and burn

...

what if my name is Michael Bolton?

it's funny how these companies want to be all inclusive by filling their games with fags and trannies but never consider that perhaps it's more offensive to include them because the characters are killing each other, every time tracer is killed it's a virtual fag bashing hate crime, every time disc jockey negro or the autistic streetshitter or her daughter dies it's a virtual racially charged hate crime.
But no, trump4prez is too controversial for a gamer tag.

i don't think autismo has a playable kid, i think thats ana/pharrah

i like pharrah despite the source material

Can't we have a game filled with all kinds of people violently murdering each other in creative and varied ways without politics getting involved?

I miss the 90s.

I have met lots of Trump and Donald Trump variants in OW for a while, this is the first case in which I see something like this.

Isn't "Trump" one of the biggest players in Hearthstone though?

I thought one was the daughter of the other. I never bothered looking into the lore beyond what I could figure out from the porn.


Mortal Kombat was pretty diverse, the one thing that made them all equal was brutal death.

...

Conservatives didn't respect Obama's supposed "right" to be president for 8 years. It's almost as if people in America have a right to criticize the President, not that that's even related to what's happening here given that Blizzard's naming policies forbid all famous people from being used.

Pretty hypocritical to advocate for capitalism and then complain about capitalists making a business decision that they think will get them more money, though. Kind of the same as the rightists complaining about capitalism when they get their ads pulled on YouTube, which is a free market decision that people in a free market have a right to make and was exactly the same as what GamerGate did to the feminazi gaming journalists. If you don't like the idea that people can have their income stream damaged for saying things others don't like, maybe you should embrace socialism.

And now they're going full political shithead. Me right now when I didn't spent a penny to them and stick to Gang garrison 2 or my free of charge Wii U games

thats cool. i dont like him either
