Recently, the judgment in miHoYo's commercial defamation lawsuit against Qin Tan-mou, the operator of the Weixin (WeChat) account "Anime Game Discussions" (formerly "Anime Game Cat"), has taken legal effect. The court found that Qin's conduct constituted commercial defamation and ordered him to publish a statement on the homepage of the account for ten consecutive days to eliminate the adverse impact, as well as pay miHoYo a total of 100,000 yuan in compensation for economic losses and reasonable legal expenses. Note: In Chinese legal contexts, 某 Mǒu is commonly used in place of part or all of a person's given name to preserve anonymity. In this case, the second character of Qin's given name has been redacted. == Case Background == Previously, during routine monitoring, miHoYo discovered that the Weixin account "Anime Game Discussions" had, over an extended period, operated under the banner of "game reviews" while publishing negative commentary about miHoYo and its products, including Genshin Impact. The account also made misleading and unfair comparisons with other games, continuously spreading prejudice against both miHoYo and its player community while inciting hostility between different groups of players. Much of the content relied on data of unverifiable authenticity or information that was inconsistent with the facts. Qin used this content to attract substantial traffic to the account, with some articles exceeding 100,000 views, generating revenue in the process. After discovering these activities, miHoYo sent a cease-and-desist letter to the operator of the account, demanding that the infringing conduct stop. Despite receiving the letter, the operator failed to cease the conduct, prompting miHoYo to file a commercial defamation lawsuit. == Court's Findings: Commercial Defamation Established == Following trial, the court determined that Qin's conduct constituted commercial defamation. The court held that although Qin operated the account as an individual, the opinions and evaluations he publicly published could influence the perceptions of an unspecified number of existing and potential players toward the games in question and miHoYo as a company. Such conduct was capable of directly interfering with miHoYo's existing commercial operations, bringing the dispute within the scope of the Law Against Unfair Competition of the People's Republic of China (AUCL). The court further noted that, as an official account whose profile explicitly stated that it primarily covered news and discussions related to the games at issue—and which profited from its published articles—the operator had a heightened responsibility to exercise due diligence regarding both the sources and accuracy of the information it published. Instead, Qin failed to fulfill this duty, disregarded the facts, or relied on data of unverifiable authenticity to publish negative evaluations of the games and miHoYo, thereby damaging the company's commercial reputation. 1. Fabricating and spreading false information: The account claimed that a miHoYo game had "never received a nomination for a certain award." The court verified that the game had in fact been nominated, making the claim fabricated and false. It also found that false information had been fabricated regarding the Lantern Rite event, with the published descriptions proven inconsistent with the actual circumstances. 2. Citing misleading data: The articles claimed to rely on third-party data as the basis for their conclusions, but the cited data either lacked any verifiable source or consisted of excerpts that did not correspond to the claims made in the articles, thereby constituting the dissemination of misleading information. 3. The court concluded that the official account fabricated and disseminated false or misleading information to portray the games in question negatively, provoking intense discussion and conflict within the comment section. These actions constituted commercial defamation. 4. The court also emphasized that self-media outlets specializing in game commentary, while exercising their right to freedom of expression, should contribute to fostering a healthy online environment and must not be driven solely by the pursuit of traffic and profit. == Judgment == The court ordered that: 1. Defendant Qin shall publish a statement on the homepage of the Weixin account "Anime Game Discussions" for ten consecutive days to eliminate the adverse impact. 2. Defendant Qin shall compensate miHoYo an amount of 100,000 yuan for economic losses and reasonable legal expenses. The judgment has taken legal effect. As of the time of publication, Qin had already posted a public statement on the Weixin account "Anime Game Discussions", which he controls. == Our Position == A healthy environment for community discussion must be built upon truthful and objective information. Misleading players through fabricated data or inciting division within the community through one-sided and malicious comparisons not only harms players' ability to obtain accurate information and participate in discussions, but also undermines a fair and orderly competitive market. Players expressing either praise or criticism of games is a normal and valued part of the community. miHoYo has always welcomed constructive opinions grounded in facts. However, spreading rumors and smearing others under the guise of "commentary," disregarding the facts, pursuing traffic-driven profits, and maliciously disrupting community order fall outside the scope of legitimate criticism and should bear corresponding legal responsibility in accordance with the law. miHoYo will continue to use legal means to firmly combat malicious rumor-mongering and commercial defamation, safeguard a healthy and orderly community environment, and protect the company's lawful rights and interests. We also welcome players to actively submit relevant information through our infringement reporting email (notice[@]service[.]mihoyo[.]com) so that we can work together to maintain a healthy gaming community ecosystem. ---- Original article by miHoYo Legal Department on Weixin (WeChat): mp.weixin.qq.com/s/NUmNaXpu4wtr… Article on miHoYo Translation Wiki: mihoyo.fandom.com/wiki/Weixin_Ac…
