Boomz Terminated on Some Operating Platforms

SHANGHAI, Jul 07, 2011 (SinoCast Daily Business Beat via COMTEX) -- It is disclosed that the game Boomz may have or will be stopped operation on platforms of tianya.cn and 9you.com. However, the operation of this game is normal on baidu.com and renren.com.

Tianya.cn claimed on July 5 to stop the operation of the Boomz, because they received the notice from 7road, the developer of the game, an insider of tianya.cn disclosed. 9you.com said that they stopped the cooperation because the contract will soon expire.

An analyst pointed out that the conflict may arise from the unbalance of profits between the game developer and those platform operators. As a matter of fact, this is common in online game business. For instance, some community portals and online social game developers have agreed that the former enjoy 52% of the total profits while the latter enjoy the rest. This can even be 80%-to-20% in case that the game operator is superior.
