Recently, community members have reported that multiple mobile projects under the Warcraft IP have been terminated. It is speculated that these cancellations are not related to 'Warcraft Arclight Rumble', but rather secret projects involving NetEase’s development teams that had been in production for two to three years.
Discussions in the comments highlight the core issue: a breakdown in revenue sharing. Insiders suggest that Blizzard demanded the lion's share of profits while contributing only their IP and minimal supervision, effectively treating NetEase like a low-cost 'sweatshop'. NetEase, being a leading tech giant, found these terms unacceptable. They felt Blizzard was acting with 'arrogance' despite having lost its internal development prowess, making a complete fallout inevitable.
Beyond mobile projects, users revisited the controversial terms of service in 'Warcraft III: Reforged'. The contract essentially claimed rights to all user-created maps, which drove talented developers away and degraded the community ecosystem. The platform is now reportedly filled with low-quality 'cash-grab' maps.
The prevailing sentiment is that Blizzard is left with little more than its IP and an arrogant attitude, and the collapse of the partnership had been forecasted by insiders months ago when rumors of team layoffs first began to circulate.
