As a long-time fan of NetEase games, this recent news about the detention of executives and employees for alleged money laundering and bribery has left me quite taken aback. The fact that this involves key figures from their esports division and popular titles like Marvel Rivals and Destiny: Rising is particularly disheartening.
This week, two high-ranking officials and seven staff members from the gaming company NetEase were arrested on charges of money laundering and bribery. These individuals worked within NetEase’s esports department and helped create popular games like Marvel Rivals and Destiny: Rising. The company has since terminated their employment while police look into these accusations.
News sources like Leifeng and Bloomberg reported that police made arrests, which were later confirmed, and that these individuals were also dismissed from NetEase. In a company memo, it appears that NetEase announced the departures of executives Xiang Lang and Jin Yuchen. Lang was in charge of esports and third-party publishing, while Yuchen oversaw publishing within NetEase’s Interactive Entertainment Group.
A representative from NetEase has stated that the authorities are still pursuing potential additional leads regarding alleged corruption within their company. At present, they won’t disclose any further details. However, reports by Leifeng hint at an investigation involving as much as 1 billion yuan (approximately $139.2 million USD) and approximately 28 businesses, which could be linked to the detention of former NetEase employees. It remains uncertain whether ongoing projects like Marvel Rivals or Destiny: Rising, with some of these employees having been involved, will experience any impact.
Given the numerous uncertainties surrounding the recent arrests at NetEase, it’s intriguing to observe how events unfold. Keep an eye on our coverage as we bring you more information and clarity on this developing story.
