That is if Blizzard doesn't find another publisher within China by January 23rd. | ||

Haven't seen a topic yet but think this is huge and will lower playerbase on both games even more. 2023 is already bad year ... Yes it would also involve StarCraft 2, and yes it could severely impact operating the WTL going forward. But the real potential killer in this for Blizzard is Overwatch League. Netease owns Shanghai Dragons, and many OWL players & fans are chinese. If this shutdown is a prolonged one, it could damage the financial stability of all Blizzard eSports within China and elsewhere. | ||

I have no doubt it will impact general Chinese interest in SC2 in a big way, but as far as WTL goes most of the games are not played on the Chinese server so I don't see WTL directly taking a hit like OW would. | ||

All Chinese pros play on Korean ladder and all the matches are played on non Chinese servers. | ||

China blaming someone from the West for its problems, in this case likely caused by its isolationist policy. Yup, I'm sure Bobby Kotick is responsible. After all, it makes so much sense for him to ban the most populous country in the world from playing his company's games! | ||

It's a Chinese only requirement that you need to have an agreement with a Chinese company. Blizzard can do whatever they want in most countries in the world. China is the one that's been tightening down on games, including limiting students' online play time to one hour a week. 8PM-9PM on Friday, lol Also, Steam doesn't connect from China anymore. But let's immediately blame Blizzard without proof | ||

Check Bloomberg (if you can think of any other source that is more trustworthy to you, check them instead). Blizzard asked for a higher cut, a prepayment of two years, and data from millions of Chinese users. And what is wrong with China asking Blizzard to get a license? Maybe Blizzard can "do what they want in most countries", but that certainly doesn't include China. If Blizzard wants to keep making money from China, then play by the rules and show some respect to the counterparty and long-term partner, Netease. | ||

In other countries Blizzard gets 100% for the products they make, since it's their games. Why should some Chinese company get a big cut for doing just user registrations and running a server? I've signed up in China, it's nothing different, it just checked the government id. That company does nothing to deserve a cut, considering Blizzard does this feature in Korea themselves to satisfy local laws for underage people | ||

Blizzard choose to co-operate with netease at the very beginning ,but not to run a china company of his own. 2. I know lots of china players buy both china-server-sc-re and korea-server-sc-re. Maybe the players not the big companies are the victims. | ||
