If no third party successfully "takes over", I think this is the player, Blizzard and NetEase's three losses
. I am a player, and I will definitely take the player's perspective first: the player is really abandoned!
Many Blizzard players have invested a lot of time and money in the national server, whether it is WOW, Hearthstone, or even the dead deadgame Heroes of the Storm. You can say that all data belongs to the operator according to the user agreement, and players are just paid for entertainment, but can players really accept it? I spent money, experience, and put my youth into priceless. What's more, virtual assets have value. Your current server suspension means that all the value of these gold coins, cards, etc. will be cleared!
Considering that all agents need to be re-examined, it is probably difficult to achieve the seamless joining of third parties...
For NetEase, has Blizzard Game really become a burden?
It is true that the revenue of NetEase Games business has shifted from agent games to self-developed games, especially the net income from mobile games accounts for about 66.1% of the net income of online game operations. Therefore, Blizzard Games on these PC platforms eats a lot of server resources but has low returns. The impact of giving up the shutdown of the service is not that simple:
(1) The new money-making big player Dark Immortal paid users are old fans of Blizzard. Faced with such a situation, will they consider that their current investment will be thrown into the trash can as well after the Immortal Independence Agreement expires?
(2) Will other NetEase game players worry about the security of their accounts?
(3) Can new games be launched quickly to maintain revenue growth when version number is restricted?
affects the whole body, and the short-term impact of the collapse of cooperation on NetEase will definitely be significant. Hong Kong stocks have plummeted. At night, U.S. stocks basically plummeted like Hong Kong stocks
Blizzard? Haha
That’s right, NetEase’s agency revenue is too low, accounting for only 3% of the entire Activision Blizzard , but is it really NetEase’s bad performance? Throughout 21 years, WOW, Darkness, OW, Hearthstone... Blizzard did something to let players pay for it?
Who still remembers: Blizzard must produce high-quality products; does Blizzard still have the ability to create excellent games now? Even though Overwatch succeeded in making a splash, it fell smoothly under Blizzard's "excellent" operation (LOL updated one hero a month, and OW could not update one in a quarter), and OW2 started to cool down after it was launched for a month.
In Activision Blizzard's joint venture, Blizzard has not made much contribution and has a lot of trouble. If COD had not taken turns developing New Year's goods and King's mobile games, Blizzard's level and speed would have been Blizzard's sculpted shit, Activision Blizzard's stock price would have collapsed long ago. It is recommended to change the name of Activision King as soon as possible to remove this embarrassing Blizzard!
won’t really think it can be acquired by Microsoft , and will it enter the retirement rhythm? Let’s not talk about the hostility of the EU antitrust institutions towards Europe and the United States. Even if the acquired development team is not done well, it will be a fate of disbandment.

Finally, I will share with all programmers and friends some privately hidden visual large screen templates and materials. They are all carefully organized by me and can be saved first. They can be used directly when developing large screens in the future.
