Almost immediately after Tencent’s lawyers delivered the legal letters, the developer of Pockie Ninja, Dream Network Technology, announced that the browser game will be closing on 10th June. Pockie Ninja is a MMO primarily based on characters from several manga, most notably Naruto and Bleach.
With Tencent acquiring the copyrights of all related materials in China, I estimated about 50 titles to be affected due to unlicensed usage of materials. The English server of Pockie Ninja is not affected in this agreement, although it remains to be seen if Dream continues with new content for just 1 server.
