HoYoverse Announces Strategic Partnership with Tencent Music, Fans Celebrate

HoYoverse has officially announced a new deep strategic partnership with Tencent Music Entertainment, a move that has sparked intense discussion within the gaming community. While the official announcement was brief, the spotlight quickly shifted to the ongoing rivalry between music streaming platforms.

In the comment sections, most players expressed their support for the move, with some using harsh terms like "NetEase Cloud is for dogs," indicating they would no longer use the platform. The anger stems from long-standing grievances against NetEase Cloud Music, including missing song rights and unprofessional practices, such as labeling covers as original tracks, which has driven many long-time users to abandon the service.

Players pointed out that as subscribers to QQ Music, they are relieved to no longer have to toggle between platforms just to listen to their favorite game soundtracks. Meanwhile, some discussed whether NetEase's remaining "community features" are enough to keep it relevant, concluding that its core value is fragile in the face of copyright battles. Others seized the moment to ask if the developer would update the soundtrack library for other titles like 'Honkai Impact 3rd' as well.
