NetEase Sues Blizzard for 300 Million RMB: NetEase Footed the Bill for Refunds, Blizzard Accused of Greed

The saga between NetEase and Blizzard has reached a boiling point. Recent legal filings reveal that NetEase has officially sued Blizzard for 300 million RMB in unpaid debts. The most shocking revelation for the community is that all player refunds following the shutdown of the Chinese servers were covered entirely by NetEase, while Blizzard reportedly contributed nothing.

Furthermore, sharp-eyed netizens spotted references to '9c' (The9, the original Chinese operator of WoW) in the legal documents, suggesting that this conflict might be rooted in long-standing historical debts dating back to the first agent transition.

The sentiment in the gaming community is clear: players are calling out Blizzard's signature 'greed and arrogance.' Many note ironically that NetEase’s public reputation has actually improved thanks to Blizzard's recent behavior. Players are deeply concerned that if these debts aren't settled now, any future operator will be left holding the bag.
