China's Top 100 Internet Companies List Revealed: miHoYo's Ranking Sparks Controversy

Waking up to the news: On November 2nd, the Internet Society of China released its '2022 China Internet Enterprise Comprehensive Strength Index Report.' The list claims to evaluate companies based on six dimensions including scale, profitability, innovation, growth, risk management, and social responsibility. However, the ranking quickly became a subject of controversy, with miHoYo appearing at 13th and Lilith Games trailing at 100th.

NGA users were quick to roast the rankings. Skepticism was rampant, with players questioning the validity of a list that excludes major players like Perfect World. The most heated debate centered on the bizarre placement of companies; for instance, Bilibili (often mocked as 'A-B' or 'Uncle' by fans) being ranked higher than NetEase was widely ridiculed. Others pointed to the high ranking of browser-game companies like 'Tanwan' as evidence that this list is nothing more than a 'joke' or a 'fake list'.
