Activision Blizzard Seeks Chinese Approval For ‘Call Of Duty Mobile’ As It
Breaks Download Records
Call of Duty MobileActivision
The good news: Activision Blizzard’s new game, Call of Duty Mobile, has
broken every seven day download record in history with 100 million installs
this past week.
The bad news: Blizzard stripped a Hearthstone prize winner of his winnings,
banned him from competitive play and fired two casters covering the event
after the esports player expressed support for the Hong Kong protests on
stream.
And those two things aren’t mutually exclusive, it turns out. The Wall
Street Journal reports that Blizzard is actively seeking Chinese approval for
Call of Duty Mobile, as that market would lead to millions upon millions more
installs and much more revenue with how enormous both the population of that
region is and how engaged they are with mobile games.
Today In: Innovation
It’s not as if Blizzard took the drastic steps against the Hong Kong
supporting player solely because of this fact, but it’s quite obvious that
in general, both Blizzard and other American companies are desperate not to
draw the wrath of China, and will do anything to ensure that market remains
accessible to them. While Blizzard is the focus right now given the situation
at hand, I am willing to bet that almost any other major gaming company
probably would have done something similar, if put in the same situation,
unfortunately, given the realities of the market.
That said, I could easily have envisioned a situation in which the Chinese
government “punished” Blizzard had they not come down hard on this player
by not greenlighting Call of Duty Mobile for release in China. It’s possible
they may not approve it anyway due to other concerns (COD is a pretty
relentlessly American flag-waving franchise in general), but we won’t know
that for a little while yet.

Activision Blizzard wants that Chinese market to build on the already wild
numbers of COD Mobile, which has just unseated Mario Kart Tour as the most
downloaded mobile game in a single week, nabbing 100 million to Nintendo’s
90 million. It’s a far larger launch than the likes of rival mobile shooters
like PUBG (28 million) or Fortnite (22.5 million) as Sensor Tower shows here:

But clearly whatever success Call of Duty Mobile is having is being
overshadowed by this Hearthstone controversy, with reports that even Blizzard
employees themselves are protesting against the decision. Various Blizzard
communities are in disarray and a #boycottblizzard movement is starting to
trend, with people posting pictures of their uninstalls and canceled WoW
subscriptions.
Activision Blizzard has been completely silent in the wake of this
controversy, possibly hoping that it will simply blow over like so many other
video game controversies before it. But this one is attracting international
attention with even members of Congress chiming in about their actions.
We’ll see if Call of Duty Mobile gets Chinese approval. And if it does?
Expect an entirely new wave of questions raised. As ever, we are all waiting
for Activision Blizzard to comment on any of this.
