'World of Warcraft' to go offline in China over licensing dispute

Games like 'World of Warcraft' will be unavailable in China as Blizzard Entertainment ended a 14-year association with licensing and publishing partner NetEase. The partnership, which ensures that Blizzard's games meet China's strict content policies, is set to expire in January 2023. "We are looking for alternatives to bring our games back to players in the future," Blizzard said.
