The problem is "based anywhere": no party based on a single nation should have censorship control on the global market of a technology (high-end gaming on PC in this case). The problem is not "America bad", but the presence of America in control of many modern technologies (social network, AI, advertisement, media etc.) makes U.S. a recurring target for bigotry that mess with the overall market (this don't mean that U.S. have a global-wise issue with bigotry, things could be worse is so many key market were in the hands of any religious zealot country (being Muslim, Christian, Hebrew etc.).

We're are losing a world that was heading to technological decentralization (emails, websites, interconnected communities (such as forums, irc, bulletin boards), cryptocurrencies etc: this is going to screw with everyone, U.S. citizen themselves also.
