Recently, the Copyright Protection Center of China announced that starting November 28, 2022, all mail-in applications for software copyright registration would be suspended. The official statement cited pandemic control measures as the reason, with further updates regarding a resumption of services to be provided via their official website and WeChat account.
The news triggered an immediate wave of speculation within the NGA community. The primary concern among gamers is whether this freeze will disrupt the game licensing process, as a 'Software Copyright' (often referred to as 'Ruan Zhu' in Chinese) is typically a mandatory prerequisite for submitting a game for a license (Ban Hao).
In the comment threads, users voiced varying opinions. Some expressed anxiety over whether upcoming high-profile titles had already cleared this hurdle, while others debated the technical relationship between copyright registration and licensing. While some argued they are separate administrative processes, veterans noted that without the Ruan Zhu certificate, the path to obtaining a license becomes effectively blocked, casting another shadow of uncertainty over the industry.
