I'm almost afraid tomorrow I will have to clarify today's post. Yesterday's post concerned NetEase's lawsuit against Blizzard Entertainment. Today I have to write about how NetEase isn't suing Blizzard after all.
Blizzard replied to inquiries from Jiemian News about the lawsuit with the following statement.
“Blizzard has not received relevant complaints, but we believe that we have not violated any licensing agreement. NetEase’s suspected dissatisfied contract terms involve standard industry practices, and in the past few years It is mutually beneficial for both parties. Although these persistent behaviors make us feel disappointed and confused, It should be pointed out that the nearly 20 years of operation in China has been very positive and pleasant, and we will continue to be committed to serving local players and protecting their rights and interests.“
But then Wowhead did some research and questioned the entire idea NetEase sued Blizzard. The site specializing in World of Warcraft found that the docket had changed and NetEase was no longer listed as a party to the suit.
Like I mentioned at the beginning of the post, I'm almost afraid I'll need to post a third article explaining the whole chain of reporting events. But for now, Blizzard is being sued in China. Just not by NetEase.
