腾讯与拳头之间的实质关系是什么?
一篇去年的英文报道,说的就是王者荣耀和英雄联盟手游版分歧,还是能明显说明这层关系的:腾讯虽然是拳头的母公司,但事实上拳头的决策还是相对独立的
When mobile gaming began to overtake “hardcore” gaming, Tencent apparently approached Riot about turning its only game, League of Legends, into a mobile title. Riot declined, saying that the game’s experience “couldn’t be replicated on smartphones.” Tencent then reportedly created their own mobile game, Wangzhe Rongyao, roughly translated to English as Honor of Kings, in 2015.
When Riot discovered early screenshots of the game, which has now arrived in North America as Arena of Valor, some employees weren’t happy. “We were stunned,” one of the former Riot staffers that The Information interviewed said. “They were blatantly ripping off our intellectual property.”
Riot reportedly brought these concerns to Tencent, and Tencent responded by changing its own game enough to sell as a standalone product with no relation to League. The game then went on to become the most popular smartphone game in China by the end of 2017, according to the report.
