【Blizzard China Saga】Who is responsible for the 'Electronic Urn'? NetEase or Blizzard?

Blizzard's recent statement regarding the 'Electronic Urn' (the feature allowing players to save their local game data before server shutdowns) has caused a stir. According to reports, Blizzard claims that 'NetEase is responsible for this portion of the data.' Players have sarcastically compared this to a 'NTR' (Netorare) trope, where Blizzard, after breaking up with China, expects NetEase to handle the 'child' (the players' data) while they wash their hands of it.

The community is deeply skeptical. Some users noted that Blizzard’s wording implies NetEase only guarantees the integrity of the original data, not the reliability of the 'Urn' software itself. There is widespread anxiety that if a new operator takes over in the future, neither party will take responsibility for data corruption or compatibility issues. Many see this as a classic case of corporate ambiguity and PR buck-passing.

Netizens in the comments section have mocked the situation, arguing that the company only guarantees the 'corpse' is intact, while the cremation process (the software functionality) remains a potential disaster waiting to happen.
