Tencent Removes “Dungeon & Fighter” from Selected Android App Stores
Tencent announced on Thursday that it will be removing its popular mobile game “Dungeon & Fighter” (DnF Mobile) from selected Android app stores as contracts have expired. This move comes amidst ongoing disputes between game developers and distributors in China, particularly regarding revenue sharing.
Developers in China have often found themselves at odds with app stores over the standard 50% revenue split. Tencent, being China’s largest game developer, did not specify which app stores would be affected by the removal of “Dungeon & Fighter.” However, local media reports suggest that stores such as Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo may be impacted.
This is not the first time Tencent has faced such issues. In 2021, the company had a similar dispute with Huawei, resulting in the removal of several mobile games from the app store due to disagreements over revenue sharing.
As mobile games continue to gain popularity in the broader gaming market, these conflicts between developers and distributors are likely to persist. Tencent’s decision to remove “Dungeon & Fighter” underscores the challenges faced by game developers in navigating these complex relationships.
