Rumor: The9 to Abandon National Distributor System
Beijing News, 8/06/08
Sources at online game developer and operator The9 (Nasdaq: NCTY) have confirmed the company is preparing to abandoned its national distributor system for its game cards, and will instead focus on developing local distributors by itself. A source connected to senior management at The9 claims the company began adjusting its sales channels in May in response to a downturn in profits as well as a change in the buying habits of users. He explained that users have been switching to purchasing virtual rather than physical game cards, hence reducing the need for a comprehensive distribution network.
