NetEase has torn down a World of Warcraft statue outside its Chinese headquarters in an apparent symbolic gesture aimed at Blizzard.
, NetEase dismantled the statue on Wednesday, streaming the process via its official Naraka Bladepoint channel., which also showed participants being given special ‘Blizzard Green Tea’ drinks as a reward.
In China, ‘Green Tea Bitch’ is a stereotypical insult that originated on social media, and describes a person who appears innocent and sweet but is actually fake, immoral and manipulative. The teas, therefore, appear to be a jibe aimed at Blizzard.The demolition of the statue came a day after Blizzard posted a message on its official Weibo page stating that it would shut down all Blizzard games in China on January 24.
Using another Chinese phrase, NetEase described Blizzard as 騎驢找馬, a term which translates to “riding a donkey while looking for a horse” – in other words, trying to stay with NetEase while looking for a more attractive deal.
