On April 24th, 2023, reports emerged that Blizzard Entertainment was being sued by former Chinese publishing partner NetEase after servers shutdown in January due to a failed continuation agreement. However, a day later, it was discovered that the lawsuit was being brought by a single individual named Yang Jun, who is known to be a serial litigant and has no connection to NetEase. It appears that court documents erroneously listed NetEase as the plaintiff, and all mentions of the company have since been removed.
