For reference, NetEase own Grasshopper Manufacture (Suda), Nagoshi Studio (Yakuza), PinCool (Ryutaro Ichimuram, Dragon Quest Producer), GPTRACK50 Studio (Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Capcom Producer), Studio Flare (Toshimichi Mori, Blazblu Series Producer) so they're all in danger now, and according to this, won't even receive marketing or promotion if their games even manage to release.
In the West they own Skybox Labs and Rebel Wolves. They established multiple studios led by veterans, such as Worlds Untold (Mac Walters, Mass Effect Series Writer) and Jar of Sparks (Various Halo, Destiny Vets), both had their funding pulled. They also had publishing agreements with other veteran led studios that they've now pulled. NetEase whole approach a few years ago was setting up/helping to fund brand new studios, some independent, some owned by NetEase, most of them led by industry veterans, now they're yanking that support away.
