Blizzard replied: "Blizzard has not received a lawsuit at this time, but we believe we have not breached any licensing agreements. The contract terms that NetEase is suspected to be dissatisfied with involve standard industry practice and have been mutually beneficial to both parties over the years. While we are disappointed and confused by these ongoing actions, it is important to note that the nearly two-decade operational history in China has been very positive and enjoyable, and we remain committed to serving and protecting the rights of our local players."Chinese media manage to report a lawsuitMisfiled DetailsYang Jun vs. the Worldmany suits seen in the United StatesIn the case of Yang Jun vs. Shanghai The9 Information Technology Co., Ltd. and Shanghai NetEase Network Technology Development Co., Ltd. regarding a network service contract, this court filed the case on May 23, 2019, and conducted a trial according to law.

Request joint liability from both defendants. Demand the conversion of the 86,793 minutes of game payment time into RMB 2,000 at market value and refund it to the plaintiff. 3.
