11 On November 17, Activision Blizzard suddenly issued an announcement stating that its contract with NetEase expired and its related game business in China will be suspended. Many players know that 13 years ago, Activision Blizzard treated Jiucheng like this. When Jiucheng thought the contract renewal was a surefire, he terminated the contract with Jiucheng and joined NetEase's embrace.
History will repeat itself, but there will always be differences. Unlike when the contract was terminated with Jiucheng before, public opinion was more or less inclined to Activision Blizzard, this time the players' anger came to Activision Blizzard. They chose to stand on the sidelines of NetEase, denounced Activision Blizzard's greed, and eventually destroyed their favorite game.
Why do the audience have different reactions for the same story? First of all, Jiucheng did not catch up with the good times at that time, and it was not considered a good agent. Whether the version update is not timely or the server is stuttering, it consumes a lot of the player's patience. At this time, NetEase, which has a lower attitude, gives players more benefits, and even promises to resume operations as soon as possible and keep the version in a global synchronized manner, will naturally be more popular with players - yes, even if NetEase and Activision Blizzard confirm to break up, NetEase will still announce through a game announcement that it will ensure that its Battle Network game will be updated globally before the expiration of the contract (that is, before January 23).
Secondly, NetEase has indeed been fulfilling its promises over the past 13 years. It not only ensures that the game can be launched simultaneously around the world, but also allows Chinese players to compete for the first kill with other players in the world, but also continues to hold local events such as the Golden League to ensure the continued popularity of Battlenet games in China.
Players are not fools, their gaming experience determines that they will be closer to NetEase between Jiucheng and NetEase.
, and the choice between Blizzard and NetEase is even more suspenseful. One has been infamous in recent years and has not made good games online. The other has been fighting for additional benefits for Chinese players and has provided a large number of e-sports players with the world's top gaming standards for Battle.net games.
is no wonder that after the news that Activision Blizzard no longer renews its contract with NetEase, after a brief period of chaos, many players began to spontaneously discuss their ideas with other players through various SNS platforms, and clearly stated that this time they stood here with NetEase. They had anger, regrets, and jokes, but it was difficult to find the kind of person standing clearly on the side of Activision Blizzard.
At the beginning of Activision Blizzard and Jiucheng did not renew the signing, many people's reaction was "Nine City, why are you so stupid?" because Jiucheng had only one hand card " World of Warcraft " at that time, and he had no way out. However, Activision Blizzard will not renew NetEase, especially after the relevant renewal contract between NetEase and Activision Blizzard was announced, many people's reaction was "Activision Blizzard, you can't do such a thing without a cerebral thrombosis for ten years." Because NetEase is already confident enough to reject Activision Blizzard's various unreasonable requests. In this case, Activision Blizzard mentioned that NetEase's rejection was reasonable.
After experiencing the proxy change storm 13 years ago, many Warnet players have matured and can see more thoroughly. Saying goodbye to the Battle.com game is a painful process, but it is obviously more important not to play the game without kneeling.
