A senior player and lawyer from Qingdao, Shandong, who has seven or eight years of gaming experience, sued two Tencent companies (Shenzhen Tencent Computer Systems Co., Ltd. and Tencent Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd.) to court. This highly anticipated "first case of China's game algorithm litigation" will be held in the Nanshan District People's Court of Shenzhen on August 12.

It is understood that this lawyer found in the qualifying match that after winning several games in a row, he would match his weaker teammates and strong opponents, with repeated wins and losses, and the winning rate approaching 50%.

She believes that she is not a top expert, but she can reach the "king" rank in the season, and the opacity of the matching mechanism makes her feel deeply controlled by the algorithm and has strong doubts.

On June 18 last year, the lawyer applied for filing a case. After 8 months and 246 days, he received the filing notice in February this year.

It is understood that according to Article 8 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, she believes that consumers have the right to know the true situation of goods or services.

As a player of "Honor of Kings", she has the right to understand how the game matches teammates and opponents, but checks the official website and other websites without relevant information. In order to protect the right to know, she filed a lawsuit with the court.

She filed a lawsuit against the court to rule that the two defendants disclosed the match mechanism of the game match of "Honor of Kings" by players, including specific factors affecting the matching, as well as the proportion and weight of each factor in different game modes such as qualifying and peak competitions.

The media said that before, the "Honor of Kings" team went to Qingdao to communicate with her and answered many questions, but insisted that the game matching mechanism was a business secret and could not be disclosed.

The lawyer said that similar cases have no precedent in the country. Although she hopes to win the case, she hopes that no matter what the result is, it will attract the attention of lawmakers and practitioners to the issue of algorithm fairness in the game field. After all, the game industry is huge and algorithms affect countless players.
