I love when people are like “man I sure do love capitalism, capitalism absolutely whips dick!” Right up until it does something they don’t like but is a logical result of capitalist policies and they’re all: 😡😡😡
Gonna break rank here and say this is unnecessary.
Hong Kong competes in sporting events under the Hong Kong SAR flag, not the PRC flag. It’s not a stretch for street fighter to follow that rule.
That aside, the HK flag looks dope, and it’s cool to have different parts of China represented in media. It’s a huge and diverse place, and all too often it’s viewed as homogenous.
A more tasteful way of signalling acknowledgement of PRC sovereignty over HK would be to make the name ‘HK, China’ or ‘HK SAR’.
I wonder how the gamer boycott of blizzard is going, surely they must be bankrupt by now
Activision-Blizzard has been helping out with the boycott by just being kinda shit generally.
Is Blizzard even making anything anymore or are they still just trying to cash wow checks
They are making a pack of new models for SFM porn , but other than that nothing springs to mind.
Diablo 4 is supposed to be out some time end of this year/early next.
Honestly 3 soured me on the whole franchise. Blizzard North is dead and is never coming back
I agree, they haven't made anything that I'd call quality in years.
The twitter thread they link to also points out the change to the Japanese Imperial Sunburst and that Fei Long had the flag changed before, but the Zangief is still USSR.
Updating the one thing is odd.
But I guess Capcom decided angry redditors are less of a worry than potential sales loss for making China mad. Capitalism strikes again.

Uncritical support for China using the size of its market to T-Pose on Gamers.
Not a big deal. HK is part of China, its like if a character from Texas had the American flag next to their name instead of the Texan flag.
maybe? the collection has far more than just street fighter tho
