Blizzard promised refunds for players who wanted them when the Chinese servers went offline on January 23, and NetEase says it's been left to honor this commitment to 1.12 million players and has done so.Compensation for unsold merchandise inventory.
"In addition, this lawsuit involves many 'overlord clauses' signed between Blizzard and Netease," reads the,"including requiring Netease to pay a huge deposit in advance for several games, but Blizzard did not refund the relevant games when they were not developed." That last point is the most tantalising, with NetEase claiming it paid Blizzard deposits for several games that were in the end not developed. The wording, however, could mean plenty of things other than unannounced Blizzard games, including existing products being tweaked for the Chinese market. It could also just be NetEase threatening to spill some of Blizzard's secrets. No doubt, however, more will come out about the specifics.
Some of NetEase's grievances in the suit seem more straightforward, such as the claim Blizzard"outright refused" to take on the obligation of refunding Chinese players, and also did not pay a pre-agreed commission fee relating to these refunds.
