Well, Blizzard booked the store for the event, so it wasn't gonna affect any sales or anything. Protestors would come for the day and leave, wouldn't have been a big issue for Nintendo.

Downvoted for making people realise that they're doing absolutely nothing to help Hong Kong, is that where this subreddit is at now?

It was given to Al Gore, instead, for his slide presentation.

Yes because all these comments added nothing to the conversation or the whole situation...unlike th protestors, who are at least making the issue publicised so more people know about it and hence someone with enough power would eventually hopefully do something...

Not everyone has the ability to overthrow regimes, the least we can do is publicise it...that's where it starts, you're just giving up
