Netease Ceo is said to cut a funding for dozens of games, and will not support the marketing of Nagoshi games and other Japanese games
Netease made waves in every wrong way when I decided to take advantage of the developers in the Western Marvel Rivals Studio despite the fact that the game was a great blow with more than 40 million players so far.
Now, a new report By Bloomberg It claims that the Chinese company has suffered from many sudden changes imposed by its founder and executive director, William Ding, who suddenly cut hundreds of jobs and withdrew its foreign investments. As a reminder, over the past few years, Netease has invested in many studios in North America, Europe and Japan, such as:
Interactive behavior
Suda51’s Grasshopper Manufacture (fully owned by)
Nagoshi Studio (fully owned)
Quantic Dream (fully owned)
Wolves of rebels
Skybox Labs (fully owned)
Sparks Jar (founded by Halo and Veteran Veteran Power Jerry Hook)
Jackalyptic games (former veteran MMO Jack EMMERT) games.
T-MINUS Zero (founded by former warrior warriors in Bioware and Bethesda)
The worlds are indescribable (founded by MASS Effect Mac Walters)
Wonderful Pixel Castle (Founded by the former Greg Street Street in World of Warcraft Greg Street)
Among them, the spark jar and the worlds that are not already financed by the Netease have already been reduced a few months ago, and the heads are now desperately looking for another publisher and a source of financing. Mana Developer ouka Studios visions were also closed despite the game’s launch of positive reviews. Now, other Japanese studios such as Nagoshi are just time to complete the current projects. There will be no additional financing or time allocated by the Netease, and the Chinese publisher has no plans to spend any money on marketing or promoting games under production in Japan.
Other Western Studios -backed studios are said to be in this list that also seeks to obtain new publishers, including Jackalyptic, which makes Warhammer Mmorpg (to which we spoke to Jack Emmert after announcing it). This game was recently shown in a commercial event for partners and received a positive response, so there is hope to find a new house.
