In 2023, the dynamics of the gaming industry will once again affect the hearts of countless players. Domestic players' hopes for the return of the national server have once again been dashed. With the latest version number announced, the absence of Blizzard games is disappointing. According to the information, the key information required for the operation of the game is incomplete or the version number may be revoked. There are four types of revocations: copyright issues, content violations, user complaints, and mismanagement.
Recently, the release of the "Measures for the Administration of Online Games (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)" has completely stirred up a thousand waves in the industry. The huge impact of this document directly touches the future of the entire gaming industry. In particular, the issuance of imported game version numbers has attracted the attention of the industry and player groups. It is reported that a total of three batches of imported game versions will be issued in 2023.
For a new agency, it will take at least half a year to smoothly operate the national server. After signing a contract, the first task faced by a new agent is to apply for a version number. There are two ways, one is to re-apply for the edition number, and the other is to purchase the edition number held by the agent before purchasing. And not long ago, when the last batch of imported game versions were announced, the names of Blizzard games were not listed.
But for an established agency like NetEase, the situation is different. If NetEase decides to continue its cooperation with Blizzard, then the existing national server version can continue to be used. This gives players a silver lining. At the same time, Blizzard's long-standing operating model has also attracted attention. Analysts believe that the prospects for the return of Blizzard's national service are generally good.
In such an environment, Fat Brother Game has become an important channel for many players to obtain information. Through unremitting efforts, Fat Brother has provided you with more and more comprehensive game information. The renewal of Blizzard's national server agent and the validity of the version number are the focus of discussion inside and outside the industry. Industry analysts have taken a closer look at the issue. Many players are also keeping a close eye on this development.
The road to the return of Blizzard games in China is full of uncertainties, but there are also infinite possibilities. The enthusiasm and anticipation of countless players have turned into a beautiful vision for the future of the game. In the process, we have seen the vitality and challenges of the game industry, and will continue to witness its development and changes.
