Scandal of famous game brand
That is exactly what NetEase is experiencing in recent days. According to information from the Chinese press, this brand is said to be entangled in shocking corruption scandals. These suspicions are directly related to NetEase Games' marketing department. Xiang – the executive director of this department, as well as many other senior leaders were arrested for detailed investigation.
An internal employee of NetEase said: “The incident is still in the early stages and it will take some time for results.” It is known that most of the senior leaders arrested this time were from the marketing department. According to initial suspicions, this scandal involves hundreds of millions of dollars. At least 28 partners with NetEase have been affected and the resulting contract amount could reach 800 – 1 billion yuan.
The gaming industry was shaken, NetEase has not yet responded
The Chinese press confirmed that the police had intervened and strictly handled the case of Xiang and his accomplices. It is worth mentioning that NetEase has not given too much feedback about this incident. On the contrary, many company employees believe that individuals operating under Xiang's direction are gradually disappearing from NetEase's internal records system.
According to verified information, Xiang joined NetEase in 2013 and is mainly responsible for many blockbuster games such as Knives Out, Minecraft and Battle! Onmyoji… It is still unclear what the real story is, but it is clearly causing serious damage to NetEase's image at the present time.
