Asmongold shocked to hear about China's ban against Diablo Immortal due to a Twitter thread

The One True King (OTK) co-founder hosted a regular gaming and reaction stream earlier today. While browsing his subreddit (r/Asmongold), Zack came across a speculative post stating that Diablo Immortal has been banned in China due to some controversial tweets.

The Austin, Texas native started reading out the post to help his audience understand the crux of the matter:

"Diablo Immortal was banned in China due to their Weibo account making a post mocking Xi Jinping and uh... there's a guy who works in Diablo Immortal's marketing team, who had access to official social media account, did something very senstitive."

He continued reading the Reddit post:

"He used the Diablo Immortal official account to post a thread which contain- which complains or contains- I don't know, 'When would the bear,' implying Chairman Xi fall off the seat. That's why Diablo Immortal marketing was completely shut down in China!"

Zack moved on to reading the final paragraph of the post which talked about a rumor pertaining to the Chinese developer NetEase, and the speculative impact the ban of Diablo Immortal would have on other Blizzard games:

"The rumor says that NetEase will not get any license for game publishing in the following three whole years. If that's true, this will also affect Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, and WoW: Dragonflight, and it might even force Blizzard to change their cooperator in China Mainland."

The World of Warcraft gamer continued with his stream as he soon moved on to reading the reactions in the comment section of the Reddit post.
