No more World of Warcraft for China

It seems the relationship World of Warcraft has with China still is a troublesome one. According to Reuters the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) has ordered the termination of the World of Warcraft services as provided by NetEase, the company that caters to China's WoW needs

Specifically; NetEase has been ordered to cease accepting new registrations and to stop charging players of the game. NetEase was also in the process of localizing the WoW expansion Burning Crusade. This attempt has now been rejected by the GAPP.

The reason behind the ban the GAPP claims is that NetEase committed "gross violations". According to Adam Krejcik, analyst at Roth Capital Partners, NetEase is the victim of struggles between the GAPP and the Ministry of Culture, which earlier on did in fact approve WoW.

Also Activision Blizzard can feel the consequences of this inhibition. Mike Hickey, analyst for Janco Partners, says these circumstances can mean the group would lose $0.05 of its earnings per share. To place that in context: Activision Blizzard is expected to make $0.65 earnings per share in 2009.
