It could just be me, cause today is an insomnia day, but I don't give a shit about Hong Kong. China is a boorish dick. China has always been a boorish dick. Why is anyone surprised when they act like boorish dicks?
I'm going to assume you haven't been paying attention to the news and what's been happening in Hong Kong.
You assume incorrectly.

But you can not fault Activision for doing what companies do here, they are legally required to prevent any harm that comes to their investors.

The agreement the dude was operating under has one of those shitty catch-all things where if you say anything or do anything that could harm Blizzard's reputation in the eyes of literally anyone else, then they can do whatever they want to you. Politically "controversial" remarks on Blizzard's dime thru their stream pretty solidly qualifies.
He doesn't have much of a leg to stand on legally, but the PR mess is going to cost Blizzard.

I like the idea of flooding them with GDPR requests. It's like spamming black faxes or bags of snail mail.
That'll show those shareholders.

It wasn't a tweet, it was a statement made by a player during an official Hearthstone broadcast, and said player was under contract to not make potentially offensive statements for the duration of the tournament. Heck, the VoD of the series was even up on the official Hearthstone Youtube channel for a short while.
At which point Activision Blizzard likely got a strongly worded letter from either Tencent or a Chinese official.
Regardless, contract law is murky at best. The entire premise of law is predicated on what's considered "reasonable" - good luck defining that because no one has been to do it so far. At least as far as I've seen on this story I haven't seen anything - contractually - that would prohibit him from saying what he said. Just because Blizzard says that's the case doesn't make it so. And from the looks of it it will be determined in a court of law. And that being the case I'd be wagering dollars to donuts that the guy will win in this case. At any rate Blizzard has hurt themselves considerably more with their response and this will likely steamroll into something much larger. It was an entirely idiotic response on their part. Always let sleeping dogs lie unless you have no choice.
