However, the news was rejected by Mainland China's leading game media outlet GameLook. GameLook cited NetEase CEO Ding Lei, who called the information "fake news." Other Mainland Chinese media, MyGamez writes, also did not mention any slowdown in ISBN approvals when covering the meeting of the authorities with the gaming giants. As MyGames explains, "Regulation related rumours are quite commonplace in Chinese game industry and the regulator sometimes does intentionally leak information it doesn't want to formally announce. However, we think it would be highly unusual for PRC regulator to offer such exclusive information to a Hong Kong based media outlet, instead of the PRC state affiliated media. (Despite SCMP generally doing very good job covering China tech and gaming space.)" The publisher does acknowledge, though, a recent delay in new game approvals, with the September "Q3 batch" of approvals postponed to November.
