It'll be fascinating to see what Blizzard does and says today. Do they
backtrack, risking the loss of billions of dollars as a result? Or do they
continue supporting an authoritarian regime, alienating fans and employees in
their never-ending pursuit of growth? Capitalism owns

看看暴雪今天的行為及發言會很有趣。他們會冒著損失數十億美元的風險退卻嗎？
還是他們會繼續支持專制政權，再他們永無止盡的追求成長中疏遠粉絲和員工？

I'm more interested what @TimSweeneyEpic has to say.
His company is 40% owned by Tencent after all.

Tim Sweeney
Epic supports the rights of Fortnite players and creators to speak about
politics and human rights.

翻譯：
Transdimensional CatSpider
我比較好奇@TimSweeneyEpic有什麼要說的。
畢竟他的公司有40%被騰訊掌握。

Tim Sweeney
Epic支持Fortnite玩家及創作者有談論政治跟人權的權利。

Tim Sweeney同時附上了外媒The Verge的報導

Unlike Blizzard, Epic Games says it won’t ban players for political speech

so if say @tfue said "Free Hong Kong" in a post-game interview,
you wouldn't do anything?

Tim Sweeney
Exactly.

翻譯：
Гусебесие и сосаети
所以假如@tfue在賽後訪問時說出「Free Hong Kong」，你不會做任何事？

Tim Sweeney
沒錯。

I thought your company had a majority investor from the Chinese?
Surely it would just end up in a similar situation, Investor pulls out,
big chunk of cashflow? It’s not the right decision to make
but I’m sure it puts any company on the edge

Tim Sweeney
Epic is a US company and I’m the controlling shareholder.
Tencent is an approximately 40% shareholder,
and there are many other shareholders including employees and investors.

Cherrish Choerry
40% is a big cut though. They’re already apparently pulling out of the NBA
League. Can you honestly say if a similar event happened you wouldn’t have
to, sever ties with said influential figure, i.e the NBA coach/Hearthstone
Champ

Tim Sweeney
Yes, absolutely. That will never happen on my watch as the founder, CEO, and
controlling shareholder.

翻譯：
Cherrish Choerry
我以為你的公司有著大量的投資人來自中國？
這樣肯定會導致類似投資人抽出大量現金流的情況？
這不是正確的決定，但我敢肯定這能讓任何公司緊張。

Tim Sweeney
Epic是一間美國公司，而我是控股股東。
騰訊是持股約40%的股東，除此之外還有許多股東包括員工跟投資人。

Cherrish Choerry
40%是很大的傷口。他們顯然已經抽出NBA聯賽的現金流。
你是否能確定假如類似的事件發生了，你不會切割說出話的人，
像是NBA教練或是爐石冠軍。

Tim Sweeney
是的，我很肯定。以我作為創始人、CEO和控股股東的身分來看，這永遠不會發生。

how much you paying them to write an article on this

Tim Sweeney
After the Blizzard story, The Verge contacted Epic asking what our policy was
around political speech. We sent them that statement. They printed it.

翻譯：
Unapologetic Woman of Colour
你們付了多少錢給他們寫這篇文章

Tim Sweeney
在暴雪的故事之後，The Verge聯絡Epic問了我們關於政治發言的政策。
我們寄給他們那份聲明。他們就將它寫出來了。

On the other side,what will happen if someone say "hongkong belongs to
china"or"i support hongkong police"?

Tim Sweeney
Epic supports everyone’s right to speak freely. China players of Fortnite
are free to criticize the US or criticize Epic just as equally as all others.

翻譯：
生火腿
反過來說，如果有人說了「香港屬於中國」或「我支持香港警察」會發生什麼事？

Tim Sweeney
Epic支持所有人言論自由的權利。Fortnite的中國玩家可以像其他人一樣
批判美國或批判Epic

Where is my Taiwan option, when signing up for an account? I dont live in
Chinese Taipei... I hope you enjoy your money.

Tim Sweeney
Please take it up with the Olympic Committee. Fortnite follows the naming
standard from the Olympics, which was agreed as a result of diplomacy
overcoming disagreements among people in the spirit of supporting a worldwide
sporting event.

Makverk
當我註冊帳號時，我的台灣選項咧？我並不住在Chinese Taipei... 我希望你享受你的錢。

Tim Sweeney
請與奧林匹克委員會討論。 Fortnite遵循奧林匹克運動會的命名標準，
這是由於在支持全球體育盛會的精神下克服了人們意見分歧的外交結果。

我覺得我翻中國台北或中華台北肯定都有人不開心
Chinese Taipei是什麼請依大家自己心中的答案解讀

你上周跟我講暴雪討人厭到甚至連Epic都能趁機刷聲望我一定不信
