【Drama】"Radiant Journey" Hijacked a License to Launch, Only for Its Original Name to Get Approved Months Later

Recently, the 3D dress-up mobile game "Radiant Journey" (formerly known as "Hua Zhi Jing") has become the center of a bizarre community drama. Last year, facing a prolonged delay in securing a publishing license (ISBN), the developers allegedly changed the game's name and "hijacked" another title's license to initiate a paid beta test in December.

However, a dramatic twist occurred: the February list of approved games was released, and the original name, "Hua Zhi Jing," was granted a license. This has left the game in an incredibly awkward position. To make matters worse, the developers had previously denied the "license-hijacking" allegations and even threatened to sue those who pointed it out. Now that the truth is out, the team is facing a severe public relations catastrophe.

Facing a "no-win" situation, players are flocking to the discussion: some are questioning the lack of clear reporting channels for such violations, while others mock the developers for walking straight into a regulatory trap. Whether they persist with the fake license or revert to the original name, it seems the developers have effectively burned their bridges with the community.
