The first case of King of Glory's algorithm may spread to the gaming world, and will the card drawing mechanism also be affected?

Some time ago, the first case involving game algorithms was widely discussed. All major platforms were talking about a lawyer player who was heartbroken by the game and angrily sued King of Glory after a series of defeats. This statement seemed a bit distorted. In fact, Sun Qian's starting point was not to vent his anger, but to use the "right to know" as a reason to demand that the official disclose the algorithm of the matching mechanism, or how it works, to give players the truth.

Consumers have the right to know

While the game is free to download, players do invest significant time and money in it, whether it's leveling up or purchasing skins. Their identities are no longer limited to players, but also consumers. If they're kept in the dark and told that the product they're purchasing falls into a murky gray area, wouldn't the merchant's credibility be significantly diminished? This principle also applies to this incident.

Many people empathized with the experience of losing streaks after winning streaks, enthusiastically leaving comments and providing evidence to the lawyers, showing screenshots of network freezes mid-game or their overall win rate dropping by around 50%, but it felt like little help. Sun Qian revealed to reporters that Tencent had assigned several staff members to communicate, a common crisis management practice. However, when discussing the algorithm, the other party refused to be transparent, citing trade secrets as a reason. With no other options, Sun Qian used his expertise to sue them.

Losing the case will have a certain impact

Honor of Kings is a nationally recognized mobile game. While competitors were clearly eager for it to be ousted, the news of the lawsuit spread widely, and they should have been secretly laughing. However, they didn't realize it was spreading, spreading throughout the gaming industry. Imagine if Tencent, a giant in the industry, lost the lawsuit and was forced to disclose its algorithmic mechanisms. Wouldn't that be a living example for other mobile games, requiring them to fulfill their legal responsibilities and disclose their relevant mechanisms? It's like removing the mechanism.

Some netizens compared the Sanmou game with Honor of Kings, but obviously these are two different things. To put it simply, the card drawing mechanism is very similar to a wish lottery. If you check the rules of the activity, you will find that the specific probability is rigidly marked, and the way to obtain the goods depends entirely on luck. If Honor of Kings really loses the lawsuit, could it be that the official metaphysics of the game company has been dispelled?
