Close this windowWorld of Warcraft: Chinese Servers Shut Down Again
Posted November 3rd, 2009 by Medawky
Chinese gamers in store for a long period of Tuesday morning blues.
In the continuing on again-off again saga that has come to define
Blizzards operations in China, the games servers have once again gone
dark. The perpetual tuesday morning that Chinese gamers endured for
most of 2009 has been extended indefinitely as NetEase, the company
tasked with the localization of the game, was found to have commited
"gross violations" of Chinese law. But don't cry too much for Blizzard,
according to a Reuters
report, Chinese operations only account for about 10% of their annual
earnings.
