NetEase sues Blizzard for $43.5 million over licensing split.

Blizzard Entertainment is reportedly being sued by former Chinese publishing partner NetEase for ¥300 million Yuan ($43.5 million) in damages after servers shutdown in January when the two failed to reach a continuation agreement. NetEase alleges that Blizzard was supposed to handle customer refunds with regard to discontinued games and that it got stuck with the bill. NetEase also alleges that the original contract was worded in such a way as to grant Blizzard “unequal terms and conditions” in favor of the publisher’s “unilateral rights."
