暴雪娛樂最近重罰在《爐石戰紀》電競比賽中大反叫送中口號香港玩家，沒收獎金加禁賽一年，結果遭受全球玩家抵制和唾棄。不止如此，最近有還傳出企圖阻止玩家刪帳。

有網民在 Twitter 投訴，暴雪停用了全部 4 個認證工具，企圖阻止用戶刪帳，不少用戶分享圖片顯示在刪帳時候出現了紅底白字「Due to too many attempts, Email Code/SMS Protect Code has been locked.」警告字句，無法刪帳。由於玩家因為反送中口號一事紛紛移除暴雪帳號，故網民以為暴雪不甘心，阻止玩家刪帳，但有網民指刪帳的人太多，令伺服器不勝負荷。

So now Blizzard have disabled ALL FOUR authentication methods to actively stop people from deleting their accounts. This is beyond disgusting. Spread awareness of this. #BoycottBlizzard pic.twitter.com/AyUiABgMXD

@Blizzard_Ent 🤔
Regardless of using the SMS code or the authentication app I can’t create a request to obtain a copy of my personal data associated with my Blizzard account because both methods got instantly DENIED with correctly used codes.#BoycottBlizzard #FreeHongKong pic.twitter.com/ErWxkpR7eH

Hey @Blizzard_Ent

I did a request for my data involving my accounts with you, am getting denied on authentication. From the first try, I get the message “denied. too many attempts”…

Wtf you on about?

ALLEGEDLY Blizzard has now shut down all four authentication methods which means people are unable to unsubscribe to their service. https://t.co/uIcm20n2Hf

不止如此，暴雪帳號用戶連改名也有問題，例如將帳號名稱改名「Free Hong Kong」之類的反送中口號，會因為違反「暴雪命名規則」被禁止。暴雪後來悄悄地回覆用戶，刪帳的申請渠道出現問題，現在進行修復工作，但玩家似乎不領情。

暴雪得罪全球玩家不是第一次，2018 年 Blizzcon 大會前傳聞《暗黑破壞神》推出新作，但到了大會，暴雪卻只發佈了與網易合作的手遊《暗黑破壞神：永生不朽》，玩家噓聲四起。
