NetEase
Founded in the late 1990s as an internet portal, NetEase has transformed into a leading force in the second-largest online game company gaming in China. While its initial success was built upon the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Fantasy Westward Journey, NetEase has expanded its portfolio with captivating franchises that resonate with both domestic and international players. Over the past decade, the company has created titles such as Justice, Identity V, Naraka: Bladepoint, and Eggy Party, all of which maintain significant player bases today. Beyond in-house development, the company also collaborates with likes of Microsoft and Marvel to create and publish games based on renowned IPs, including World of Warcraft, Diablo Immortal, and Marvel Rivals.www.163.com

GallusGUEST
And they throw them onto a hero, and they try different combinations to see how they work.
GallusGUEST
And I do wonder if NetEase has just like a- just a box full of abilities that they haven't used, basically.
GallusGUEST
And the team ups were a system to get some of them in the game and just cycle them in and out.
GallusGUEST
I wonder if Star Lords is one of those that could be put on.

Captain CoachHOST
Like, you know, she'll be more aggressive, more willing to die and die near her teammates, right? So I think it kind of encourages...
Captain CoachHOST
Even though it's clearly...
Captain CoachHOST
NetEase is
Coach MillsHOST
encouraging.
Neil BarbourHOST
Console is not necessarily the biggest sub-segment in gaming, and it's not really the fastest growing right now either.
Neil BarbourHOST
But, you know, often when I talk about games, we talk about Tencent and NetEase leading the charge, and they still are kind of the big growth stories here.
Neil BarbourHOST
But we're going to surface some of these smaller stories that come in and out of the market, particularly as we're thinking about console games in general with Grand Theft Auto coming out and all the stuff at Gamescom.
Neil BarbourHOST
Just generally the market or the industry sort of leans this way this time of year.

Neil BarbourHOST
We sort of estimate it's somewhere in the range of like 8% of mobile spending right now, but it's getting bigger.
Eiman HussainGUEST
What about PC gaming? What's going on there?
Neil BarbourHOST
So this is where we'll talk about Tencent and NetEase.
Neil BarbourHOST
You can't really get away from them.
Guang Jin YeoHOST
other people like who used to be the world's richest Chinese person.
Guang Jin YeoHOST
So basically, this dude, William Teng, founder of NetEase, which is most popular for its email service, right? The guy would also be on Fidonet.
Guang Jin YeoHOST
You see, this thing is legendary.
Guang Jin YeoHOST
One day, he actually notices that William Teng, who started NetEase, his email service really started to become very, very, very popular.
Guang Jin YeoHOST
And he sold this OEM email service to the telecoms and it started to become really successful.
Guang Jin YeoHOST
So much so that his first sale was over a million yuan to Guangzhou Telecoms' Fei Hua Network.
Templar IvanhoeHOST
Right, right.
Templar IvanhoeHOST
And just to confirm, it is NetEase, not Tencent.
Templar IvanhoeHOST
That's my bad.
Squirrel ThugHOST
Okay.
Craig ChappellHOST
It's still a very, very popular game.
Craig ChappellHOST
And yeah, I don't know, loads of others, Tencent, NetEase, a corporate studio with Animo.
Craig ChappellHOST
Then you've got Krafton, Sega, Bandai Namco, Nintendo, loads.
Craig ChappellHOST
But what I will say is, I think we get a bit carried away with saying, oh, there were Asian companies taking over.
DavidHOST
Yeah
McSpicyHOST
... from Bandai Namco and, uh, NetEase.
JordanHOST
The investor.
JordanHOST
Yeah, that was it.
LytePKGUEST
I also have a question, two flats on top of that.
LytePKGUEST
So why do you feel it's the case that over time, like NetEase needs to squeeze out as much casual value as possible before they switch to competitive?
FlatsGUEST
I thought Coach's question was to you.
FlatsGUEST
Was it to me? It was to you, Flats.

FlatsGUEST
I think that most of the time leaving them in a perma-shit state is a good example.
FlatsGUEST
Hawkeye, I think that when he's meta, it's just not.
FlatsGUEST
fun it's just not a good time for anyone and I don't think he's even viewed as a high skill character because in the metal ranks you just play him as a spam character in the higher ranks it's like you know okay this guy like he can aim a little bit he just hits a headshot and I just explode one shots are just never fun to play against right but from NetEase's perspective I bet they're kind of like we can't leave this guy in the gutter forever like these are there's people that play this guy and they want to play him you know We have to find out something.
FlatsGUEST
And I think like the Psylocke team up was a good example where they tried to shift that power into like this like weird hybrid shotgun style thing.
Templar IvanhoeHOST
Right, right.
Templar IvanhoeHOST
And just to confirm, it is NetEase, not Tencent.
Templar IvanhoeHOST
That's my bad.
Squirrel ThugHOST
Okay.
NathanHOST
So actually, I didn't know this.
NathanHOST
Did you know Marvel Rivals is made by NetEase? I did know that.
NathanHOST
I did not know that.
NathanHOST
It's an Asian company using an American IP to make a hero shooter.
