China’s Gaming Companies Trying To Combat Piracy

In a move that seems like it will be about as effective as trying to herd cats, China’s CDC Games has announced the formation of Online Games Alliance Against Piracy (OGAAP) to attempt to stem the tide of piracy in the country. Considering we’re talking about China, where it’s frequently harder to find legitimate merchandise than it is bootlegs, and big companies have been involved in large-scale IP suits, they have their work cut out for them. Other founding members of the alliance include “CCP, the Iceland-based developer of EVE Online; Ons On Soft Co. Ltd., the Korea-based developer of Shine; Sonokong Co. Ltd., the Korea-based developer of Shaiya, and Come on Baby; T3 entertainment, the Korea-based developer of Audition online game; and Wemade Entertainment, the Korea-based developer of Legend of Mir II and MIR III online games”. Full release after the jump, and we’ll see how well this winds up working.
