Great Dragon likes to ban anything that he can't control . This time it's Diablo III Grin
Blizzards really should consider to accept bitcoin as a payment processor now !
Maybe it will be the catalyst of Bitcoin biz  Roll Eyes

Sure they should - but let's be realistic here, even if they did they'd just use BitPay and convert it back to fiat anyways. Doesn't exactly support the system considering all they are using it for would be as an alternative payment processor rather than its own merits.

If it does accept , it's gonna be messy.

They will be handling lots of error tickets. Guess cash is still the best.

We can't tell whether anyone should accept Bitcoins or not. It is entirely their choice. Suppose, lets assume they are accepting Bitcoins and some of the customers from China has bough the items by spending Bitcoins. How will they ship the items? The Chinese customs authorities will detain the package and immediately arrest the person who ordered it. Not as simple as it seems.

Bitcoin is worldwide. It's not contained to simply china. They will just have to take the risk or use fucking Paypal or something! If Blizzard accepted btc Zi would buy diablo 3 today no questions asked. All I use is btc, mah niggas.

是的 中国是个很大的市场 而这个市场被政府限制着
如果开放一种自由的支付方式 解放市场 我相信效益是庞大的

Yes, China is a big market and this market is limited to the government. If you open a free way to pay the liberation of the market is a huge benefit, I believe

You don't need outsiders to liberate you. 1.3 billion people can do wonders on their own.
