Many people have been asking on Weibo and in the group recently, I didn't think that the national service would come back, and I didn't get the electronic urn, will the data still be there? A picture to dispel your worries (Source: Snow Tyrant)
This is a resume of Blizzard China's data director, who joined Blizzard China in September last year.
Highlight the point
His job is to lead a team of local data engineers to localize Blizzard's data platform in China's IDC and cloud. Localize your global data platform to meet PIPL regulatory requirements.
There are a lot of professional terms, let's say little by little: Internet Data Center (IDC) refers to a kind of application service platform with perfect equipment (including high-speed Internet access bandwidth, high-performance local area network, safe and reliable computer room environment, etc.), professional management, and perfect application services. On the basis of this platform, IDC service providers provide customers with Internet basic platform services (server hosting, virtual hosting, mail caching, virtual mail, etc.) and various value-added services (site rental services, domain name system services, load balancing systems, database systems, data backup services, etc.).
To translate, IDC is a large computer room that can store a large amount of information, as shown in the figure below
And this big guy, he joined the company in September, and his job is to store player data in IDC and the cloud, double insurance, that is to say, your player data is not only stored in IDC, but also has a set in the cloud, and it will not be lost at all.
PIPL is the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China
PIPL is China's first comprehensive information protection law, which aims to regulate personal information processing activities and promote the fair use of personal information. The Protection Law sets out the duties to be complied with by information controllers (e.g., customers) and information processors (e.g., Epicor) when processing the personal information of natural persons in the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the purpose of providing products or services to natural persons in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The PIPL has extraterritorial effect and applies to activities outside the territory of the People's Republic of China that process the personal information of natural persons within the territory of the People's Republic of China.
The PIPL is a Chinese law with foreign effect, which Blizzard needs to abide by, which is also the responsibility of this big man's position, that is, to make Blizzard China's copy of player data comply with the provisions of the PIPL.
In other words, the security of your data is not only guarded by the two insurances mentioned above, but also guarded by the laws of our country, which will not only not be lost, but also will not be misused.
And if you look closely at the resume of this big guy, you will find that he used to be a bull, from Citibank to PayPal, the data security in these places is much more difficult than your game account, rounding up your account data, enjoying bank-level protection.
So whether you have an urn or not, your game data will be there, because as early as September, Blizzard China has been doing data processing, and the urn is just another guarantee. So whether you have completed this step or not, the data is still there, and what you really need to worry about is those players who can't remember the account, this may be really troublesome, after all, if you don't know the account, you can't determine what your number is, and you can't find a needle in a haystack.
After saying this, let's take a look at the news on the Internet, after all, many domestic media are not trusted.
JEZ, a famous uncle of the Internet who accurately broke the news of NetEase Blizzard's breakup, confirmed that the news of Blizzard and NetEase's reunion is true.
Under a game news article that reported that NetEase and Blizzard were back together, JEZ commented.
He said that as far as he knew, the news was true.
Of course, there are many foreign netizens who are having fun, and they all say that from friends to enemies and then to friends, this meeting will definitely be interesting.
We are also quite curious, or when the time comes, NetEase will tell us the story behind it?
