A criminal case involving information leaks related to miHoYo, the developer of
Genshin Impact, has reached its first-instance verdict. Two Bilibili (Chinese video-sharing platform) users were found guilty of copyright infringement and were sentenced to one year and two months and one year in prison, respectively, both with probation. It is the first criminal game leak case under a new judicial interpretation issued by China's top judicial authorities, according to miHoYo.
The infringing videos uploaded by Su and Wu received more than 600,000 and 300,000 views, respectively, exceeding the criminal prosecution thresholds stipulated under the judicial interpretation. The court therefore found that the two individuals met the criteria for criminal prosecution and handed down guilty verdicts.
During routine monitoring, in July 2025, miHoYo discovered that Su and Wu had repeatedly uploaded gameplay videos featuring unreleased versions of miHoYo titles, including
Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and
Zenless Zone Zero, without any authorization from the company. The videos, widely circulated within gaming communities, exposed unreleased characters, skill animations and other content that had not yet been officially introduced to players, miHoYo noted.
After discovering the alleged violations, miHoYo reported the case to the police in accordance with legal procedures. Following an investigation, the police arrested the two individuals involved.
The case was publicly heard and the verdict was delivered on April 24, 2026. The court ruled that Su was to be sentenced to one year and two months in prison with probation, while Wu was sentenced to one year of detention with probation, according to miHoYo.
Guo Hao, a Beijing-based lawyer, told the Global Times on Thursday that a key significance of the case lies in its further clarification of how game leak cases can be assessed under the Criminal Law.
"In the past, game leaks were more often handled through civil infringement claims or breach-of-contract disputes. In this case, however, the court did not simply determine liability based on whether content was released ahead of schedule," Guo said. "Instead, it considered factors including the scale of dissemination, the nature of the leaked content and the impact caused, and determined that the conduct met the prosecution threshold for the crime of copyright infringement."
Similar game leak incidents have also occurred overseas in recent years. In October 2024, The Pokemon Company suffered a data breach that resulted in large amounts of internal information being leaked online, including employees' personal information, according to overseas media reports. Dubbed the "Teraleak" by the gaming community, the incident was reportedly one of the largest game-related leaks in recent years. The leaked materials reportedly included game source codes, details of future projects and other internal information, according to Nintendo Life, a UK-based gaming news outlet.
Earlier, Nintendo had pursued legal action over the leak of a
Pokemon Sword and Shield strategy guide in 2019. According to gaming website Polygon, The Pokémon Company later reached a settlement with the two individuals responsible, who were required to pay $150,000 each in damages.
"From a player's perspective, there is a clear difference between game leaks and normal game discussions," Lu, a member from the Steam gaming community, told the Global Times on Thursday. "Players discussing and analyzing officially released information is part of gaming culture, but obtaining and spreading unreleased content through unauthorized channels can harm the efforts of developers and affect the experience of the entire player community."
Such concerns are also shared by game developers, who view unreleased content as a key part of their creative and commercial plans.
A post by miHoYo on its online account specifies that every unreleased frame of game content represents the design and refinement efforts of its creative teams, while also carrying players' expectations for upcoming updates. Unauthorized early exposure of such content not only infringes upon miHoYo's copyright interests, but also takes away the surprise that players should have when experiencing new content for the first time.

教育幼儿遵守交通规则，切勿闯红灯、翻越护栏，也不要在马路上追逐打闹。搭乘公共交通工具时，务必系好安全带，不得将头、手伸出窗外，更不能乘坐无牌无证、超载等违规车辆。

卫生安全
“三勤”要遵守：勤洗手，勤换衣，勤剪指甲。
卫生知识请关注，个人清洁要讲究。家长需做好季节性流行疾病的预防工作，一旦发现幼儿身体异常，应立即带其就医，全力保障幼儿的身体健康。

假期小建议
保持良好作息
寒假期间，合理安排幼儿的作息，让其早睡、早起，多进行锻炼，尽量遵循幼儿园的作息规律，避免幼儿放假后回园时出现不适应的情况。
坚持体育锻炼
保持平衡膳食，充足饮水，保证睡眠，坚持适度的体育锻炼，以增强机体的免疫力与抵抗力。冬季气候寒冷，外出时需依据天气变化随时增减衣物，防止受凉。
培养良好习惯
适当放手，让幼儿独立完成各项任务，切勿包办代替，以此培养幼儿的自理能力和劳动意识。鼓励孩子自己的事自己做，让幼儿承担部分力所能及的家务，例如擦桌子、摆板凳、摆碗筷等，成为爸爸妈妈的小帮手。
亲子陪伴成长
春节是我国传统节日，假期中，家长可为孩子讲述有关春节的传统文化故事及礼仪习俗，通过亲子阅读绘本、讲故事、做游戏等方式，更多地了解孩子的想法。带孩子参与一些有意义的实践活动，以开阔孩子的视野，使孩子能更深刻地感受传统节日的意义。
岁末将至，
是结束，亦是开始。
值此2025乙巳年到来之际，
星湖幼儿园全体教职工
在此提前恭祝各位家长和孩子们：
新的一年，
阖家欢乐，万事胜意，共度佳期！
