Since the launch of the NetEase game "Harry Potter: Magical Awakening" (hereinafter referred to as "Harry Potter Mobile Game"), it has attracted much attention from the outside world.
In September 2021, a netizen who knew that he was the original author of the "Harry Potter: Magic Awakening" game plan, netease games copied its own game plan, triggering a hot discussion on the Internet.
After months of debate, the netizen finally apologized publicly on April 3, 2022, admitting that a large number of false information was fabricated to slander NetEase Games, and expressed his willingness to bear legal responsibility.
Looking back at the whole incident, it is just a farce for the author to win the public's attention, but with the rapid spread and fermentation of the Internet, this farce eventually caused a negative impact.
In the above-mentioned online post, the netizen compared his own planning with the Harry Potter mobile game from the aspects of the game's design scheme, map design, map expansion, battle interface, alchemy gameplay and game loop.
But many netizens replied to the following post, and the series of "plagiarism" evidence listed by the author is simply nonsense.
First of all, the netizen's own design scheme is similar to many MOBA games on the market and the creative method is immature, and even some netizens directly pointed out that the netizen's system is suspected of copying other games.
As we all know, the core gameplay is the soul of a game. The netizen's design scheme contains gameplay that has nothing to do with the core gameplay of the Harry Potter mobile game, one is real-time combat, and the other is strategic tcg.
In response to the elements he focused on, such as "card dragging casting" and "summoning materialization", many players took out the design of "match position" to play faces online. Subsequently, more and more players joined the "screening army", and the user's accusations also turned into a "cloud player behavior".
Lies can never replace the truth, NetEase Harry Potter mobile game does not exist plagiarism, the netizen's belated apology, is the best proof.
The incident of the Harry Potter mobile game has also allowed more people to see the destructive power of online rumors. The malicious slander of the netizen not only damaged the official reputation, hurt the player's trust in the game, the initiator himself must also be punished by the law, as if it is a "three lose" situation. Through this incident, it is also reminded that the majority of players do not believe in rumors and do not spread rumors, subject to official information.
