Minor Leaked Honor of Kings: World Using Fake Credentials Through Tencent's Paper-Thin NDA System — Now Tencent Sues, But It's Their Own Security That's the Real Joke

A minor literally typed in a random name, scribbled a fake signature, and used someone else's ID number to pass Tencent's NDA verification for the Honor of Kings: World closed beta — then proceeded to leak gameplay content on Bilibili. Now the leaker is heading to court, but the real punchline isn't the kid. It's Tencent.

The original poster shared several screenshots showing the leaker's own social media posts about the upcoming court date. OP cautioned that whether this is legit "remains to be seen," but the tea has already spilled across the community.

The most devastating detail came from a commenter who broke down the whole situation. Apparently, this "kid" outsourced the leak to a Bilibili uploader, and Tencent's NDA verification system turned out to be an absolute joke — no facial recognition whatsoever, just a form where you type any name, any signature, and any ID number you can find online, and you're in. The leaker used entirely fake credentials — not their own info, not even their parents'. One commenter attached a meme originally about miHoYo and noted it applies perfectly to Tencent too, implying that Tencent's verification was somehow even worse than miHoYo's notoriously lax standards.

The legal angle got the comment section fired up. Some pointed out that Tencent is likely suing Bilibili's parent company "Shanghai Kuangyou" to subpoena the account holder's real identity — not going after the minor directly. But the bigger question everyone's debating: is a ¥200,000 penalty clause signed by a minor using completely fake info even enforceable? One highly upvoted comment put it bluntly: "A contract signed by a minor for ¥200k — even if the judge were Tencent's own dad, they couldn't win this case."

Here's where it gets truly ironic: Tencent had just rolled out a massive PR campaign boasting about how effective its anti-minor gaming protections were across Honor of Kings and other titles. Then this happens — their own beta NDA lets minors waltz right in with zero identity verification. A commenter nailed the absurdity: "The awkward part for Tencent is... this whole case has become a meme. The real question is whether Tencent will stay silent and settle privately." If Tencent pushes this to court, they're essentially putting their own security failures on public trial.

Other users dug up Tencent's history of embarrassing blunders — most notably the infamous incident where Tencent's QQ Racing game got scammed by a fake Old Godmother (老干妈) partnership, leading to the popular saying that "mobile game companies are one giant clown show." Whether Tencent's legendary Nanshan legal team — nicknamed "Nanshan Ever-Victorious" (南山必胜客) by the community for their near-perfect court record — can pull off a win here is now the juiciest subplot.

Some more level-headed voices noted that while the NDA's validity is questionable, civil liability still means the minor's legal guardians would bear the financial burden — "the parents are the ones who'll really suffer." But the core issue remains: if the name, signature, and ID on the contract are all fabricated by a third party, then "the agreement is basically toilet paper." Whether this ends in a quiet settlement or a courtroom showdown will likely depend on how much of its own dirty laundry Tencent is willing to air publicly.
