On August 30th, according to recent media reports, Tencent (0700. HK) and NetEase (9999. HK) are considering or reducing their investments in Japanese studios because their investments have brought "almost no" popular games over the years. According to sources, NetEase has laid off all employees of Tokyo Sakura Studio, retaining only a few positions. The reporter called the NetEase investor hotline as an investor, and the relevant staff stated that the company's overseas market layout will be adjusted according to local real-time dynamics, which is very normal in the entire business operation. NetEase's emphasis on the Japanese market remains the same as before, and many studios are steadily developing their works. The reporter also sent an interview email to Tencent, but as of press time, there has been no response.
