Late last week, Bloomberg and the Chinese outlet Leifeng reported that several NetEase employees have been arrested for money laundering and bribery. The company is currently developing the Overwatch 2 competitor Marvel Rivals and the mobile game Destiny: Rising.
Leifeng (via Game Developer) alleges that NetEase Games' general manager in charge of marketing and former head of NetEase's esports division, Xiang Lang, has been taken away by the company's internal anti-corruption department for investigation. Other employees who work under Lang are also reportedly under investigation for purchasing traffic to help promote NetEase's top products. So far, all NetEase has confirmed to Bloomberg in a statement is that police are investigating the possible corruption.
