@Saka True. Who knows what will happen? Exodus of talent still happened, after all, and in my view, it is more devastating for all involved than a lawsuit with NetEase or angry gamer.

@DoctorEldritch Especially a singular gamer doesn't pose much of threatto these big corporations. The suit likely is going to be thrown out of the window.

@Saka From what I could read on the matter so far, it is not the first time this gamer does that. I wonder what the incentive is for him, is he hoping to make a score by sheer volume, or maybe has a social media channel and wants to hype himself? Or maybe it's something else.

@DoctorEldritch If I had to guess a reason, maybe internet points.

I don't really understand investing in a lost battle. To win with a corporation you need to have either a very convincing case or have many people suing together. Which was not the case here. 🤔

@Saka Some people are just like that. This reminds me of a fable poem by Russian fabulist Ivan Andreevich Krylov that he wrote in 1809. He was famous for short poems that used animals to illustrate different virtues or vanities and human behaviour.

The one I remember is about a small dog that keeps barking at an elephant which pays the dog no mind, and when asked why the dog does that, the dog responds that other dogs would think the dog is strong if dares to bark at an elephant.

It is very good in original Russian, but I managed to find a translation. Goes like this:

Elephant And Pug

Along the streets Big Elephant was led,
To show him off, most likely.
Since Elephants are not a common thing to see
A crowd of gapers followed on his heels.
All of a sudden Pug springs up in front of them.
And seeing Elephant, it raises a great rumpus,
It lunges, barks and howls
And does its best to pick a quarrel.
'Hey neighbor, stop the fuss,'
A mutt intones, 'You? Deal with Elephant?
Look at you barking yourself hoarse, and he just strolls
Nonplussed
And doesn't care one bit about your noise.'
'Ho ho!' Pug says,
'That's just what I enjoy,
Since I can be a real tough guy
Without a single blow or bruise.
That way, the other dogs will say:
'To bark at Elephant this Pug
Must be a real strong mug!'

I'd say it fits this gamer's case.
