The end of Wartune.

Game Holllywod announcement originaly dated 4th then date changed to 10th October.

Members of the Wartune and Wartune Reborn Community:


We are Game Hollywood, the official licensed distributor which acquired the exclusive right to release Wartune (English) worldwide from 7Road (the developer) since 2012.

Game Hollywood offered Wartune/Wartune Reborn (the games, or, Wartune) as a product to numerous platforms, and improves the product to better serve its customers, providing diverse and rich gaming and entertainment experience. For 9 years, Game Hollywood has been working closely with various platforms to cater every player.


We trusted 7Road and even accepted 7Road become the one of the major shareholder of Game Hollywood.

However, this year, a series of absurd and bizarre event has happened. We saw 7Road, for the first time, jeopardizing and compromising players’ data, by exploiting the trust of the players. We must expose to our customers and friends, that 7Road has violated the code of business practices, bypassed a secured platform, and stolen players' personal information without proper authorization.


1) Regarding the suspicious modifications of 7Road:

In September 2020, Game Hollywood and 7Road had already worked together to develop and publish the event for the entire month of October in the games.

On October 1, 2020, Game Hollywood and 7Road started an 8-day long public holiday. However, on the first day of the holiday, we discovered that some unauthorized features of the games had been altered in the form of, requesting players’ personal information, breaking of support system connections and transfer of payment endpoint to an unauthorized 3rd party website - 7 ROAD WEBSITE, and more right under our eyes. Platforms affected by this unauthorized update included Wartune.com, Facebook, Kongregate, and platforms where Wartune published in! We immediately realized this is definitely a serious problem of "gradual leak of user information", and attempted to stop further damage and try to find out the source of 7 Road website. As the investigation progressed, we found a shocking result that the initiator of the aforementioned unauthorized modifications, system destruction and user information theft, was not any unknown 3rd party, but 7Road, the content provider and our business partner we used to respect for 9 years!


2) About the license:

Game Hollywood has owned the publishing rights of Wartune until October 2, 2020, however, 7Road sent an email without prior warnings, asking to revoke the publishing rights of Game Hollywood and migrate all the players to 7 Road website. For 9 years, we have been working closely with 7Road, feedback withplayers' valuable suggestions, from patch optimizations, anniversary celebrations, and festival events. However, 7Road, a partner of us for 9 years and one of our major shareholders, was the first to ask to terminate the partnership on October 2, 2020, after receiving suspicion reports of 7 Road website! Due to 7Road's unexpected behavior , the team was not able to foresee and inform the player in advance, I would like to express my deepest apologies to the Wartune community.


3) About revenue of the games:

We have always abided by the contract with 7Road and acted in accordance with the agreement. As we have been doing for the past 9 years, the team has always been committed to all players.

Our finance departmenthas always followed the agreement with 7Road and pay every revenue share from the games that we shall share with 7 Road!

However, 7Road has violated contracts with all partners, broken all platform privacy regulations, violated business operating principles, attempted to expose more players to risks, and has embezzled all of Wartune's revenue!


4) As a part of the community, what else you deserve to know:

Wartune and Wartune Reborn are games in Flash technology, the team had also been working with 7Road in 2020 to develop the mini-client function, just to let everyone of the community with the ability to continue playing Wartune even Flash is ending by 2020. We also invited selected players to test the mini-client EVERY quarter.

We have also been working hard to help players and work with the developer as COVID-19 spreads around the world.

If the team is really as bad as 7Road says, why doesn't 7Road complain with the team at any time in 2018, 2019, or even early 2020? Why would they choose Q4 2020, when everyone's in public holiday (7Road and us are majorly based in China, where October 1st - 8th are our long public holiday) and released the modifications? Who would have believed that 7 Road website was built in one day ? And who would even trust a shorly-built platform could ensure users with the same gaming experience as all the original/legally authorized platforms?


Who would have believed that suspicious updates were made on the fly?

Who would have believed that all of this today was caused by the event two years ago?

Who would even believed anything that 7Road is saying right now?


In September, we felt that the development team of 7Road still loves the games because of their sincerity or maybe they just did not know anything else except for development of the games. But for us, the 9-year publisher for Wartune, the value of our community and users are always in the first place.

However, we’d like to know why the management of 7Road has been planning for such an extensive period to harm the community.

Regardless, we have taken legal action to protect every right of the community!

7Road announcement dated 11th October.

Hi Warriors,


As the developer of Wartune and victim of this commercial dispute, 7Road is very sorry for the serious trouble brought to you by shutdown of Wartune server lately. We spared no effort to find a solution in timely manner, trying out best not to cause any further unnecessary damages.


We did not intend to disturb you again by making another announcement before a solution will be found, but we are forced to do so by the fact that: from the moment of server shutdown till now, GameHollywood (the original game publisher; per the publishing contract, their publishing right expired in Mar. 2019) has made untrue statements on the Internet repeatedly. They not only maliciously discredited 7Road as a long-term business partner, but created fear and panic among loyal players of Wartune like yourselves using pure lies as well. 7Road does not have choice but stands out again to honestly explain the whole progress of this incident in order to address your concerns, protect your benefit, and fight for justice.


7Road is the developer and creator of Wartune, and the only legitimate owner of its intellectual property; Game Hollywood lost publishing right over a year ago,and their current game operation is illegal. Aseverybody knows, Game Hollywood was granted the right by 7Road to do commercial operation of Wartune in some channels since 2012. Before the contract expiration, which is in Mar. 2019, Game Hollywood started to behave strangely. Firstly, they stopped paying revenue share to us since Jan. 2019 till now; secondly, they refused to renew contract; lastly, they refused to terminate the partnership or return publishing right back to us. In spite of all this, we have never decided to terminate game service, but constantly trying to communicate with Game Hollywood to find a solution; in the meantime, we continued providing game updates and new features, out of love of our course and duty to ensure your consistent and excellent gaming experience. But our endeavors failed to have met positive response from Game Hollywood, who "hijacks" players to oppress game developer. Their shameless behavior made us realize that 7Road was not the only one who had been suffering, but all of you, the loyal players of Wartune, were taken advantage of and your interest and experience are in danger. To be prepared for Game Hollywood to take extreme actions, we set up new home page to host Wartune at 7.wan.com. But still, we were taken by surprise: when we still tried to resolve the dispute through negotiation, Game Hollywood shut down Wartune game server without prior notice, tried their best to prevent us from telling the truth to player community, and obviously players best interests is not at their heart. If they say what 7Road has done is a"well-planned conspiracy", we wanted to say the "conspiracy" was too late and not in time, such that YOUR experience and interests in the world of Wartune have been damaged.


The mini-clientof Wartune was developed to ensure that players can still play the game smoothly after Facebook and other browsers will not support Flash anymore. The mini-client is legitimate product without any Trojan issue. In their recent announcement, Game Hollywood claimed that the mini-client developed by 7Road for Wartune had Trojan, which would steal user information, such that it would severely threaten users' privacy and property security. We can say responsibly that's total nonsense, and just an excuse for them to shutdown the game server. The mini-client was not newly updated to the game secretly at the beginning of Oct., but stably operated for couple of months. It's never been reported about any Trojan issue. As far as the users' information is concerned, what the mini-client has been doing in terms of usage of payment information is purely legal and necessary. It's never recorded users' payment information arbitrarily. Our standard of recording and using such information has never been less strict than that of similar applications. Players don't have to be worried, since 7Road has always put players' privacy, security and experience at first. We will file a lawsuit against Game Hollywood for their malicious slander to seek justice from court and understanding from our community. We would like to warn you here: your account information is stored with an illegal game operator who has lost operation right but is still trying to take advantage of the huge amount of user information, which could bea real time-bomb.


7Road is determined to terminate the partnership resolutely, take back publishing right, and request all the due payment and other loss paid back to us. The chance that Game Hollywood would relaunch Wartune in two weeks is zero. As the developer of the game, 7Road has stubbornly observed the spirit of knight, which is honesty and compassion, in the virtual world of game and in reality of partnership. To our disappointment, Game Hollywood, our onetime partner, crossed the line (we don't know from when and for what reason). What they have been doing is without one-ounce of justice, totally groundless, non-legal, unreasonable, and does not make sense at all. They misled players, and attempted to continue receiving illegal revenue. 7Road could not tolerate such nonsense any more, but to use law to protect our legal right and dignity. We don't quite understand how Game Hollywood could be so ridiculous to have promised to resume Wartune operation two weeks later (unless they will take big risk to hack our server to steal our code). Or at least, players can see how far they can go in terms of being irresponsible.



7Road will spare no effort to protect players' rights and interests, and ensure your gaming experience close to perfect. Needlessly to say, Wartune is cornerstone to 7Road, and we are so grateful for Wartune players. Many developers here in 7Road have spent 8 years in developing and updating Wartune with their youth and sweat. Although we have never met in person, we always want to satisfy your needs. We don't know why Game Hollywood said 7Road didn't love Wartune. How come the creator of the game didn't love the game, but the fake operator? Although Game Hollywood has brought much trouble to both players and 7Road out of selfish ambition, 7Road will not give up our responsibility to safeguard our common "homeland". Now that they don't want to take good care of you, we will. In fact, ever since the incident, we have been working really hard to provide you with more reliable, secure, andstable gaming experience. What you have to do is: 1) register at 7Road platform (7.wan.com) 2) provide your original account information to our customer service team. It might take some time (within 48 hours) for us to do verification. After your account information will be verified, you can continue enjoying your new journey in Wartune. In the future, we will focus on developing new game versions, maintaining platform stability, and making sure your gaming experience be not interfered by anything outside of gaming. Let business be with business, game with game.

7Road announcement dated 22nd October.

Something you must know

Dear players,


In the past two weeks we didn’t talk much, instead we spend all the time on restoring the game order. With the joint efforts of all loyal fans, our lost friends are returning home one after another and have regained the right of continuing gaming. We appreciate for you, our valuable players, for your trust and utmost patience. Meanwhile we regret for those who spent a long time on communicating with us during retrieval, which was caused by the insufficient preparation for this unexpected incident.


We didn’t intend to involve you in this dispute anymore. But out of frustration we found that Proficient City/Game Hollywood requested a Temporary Restraining Order from Texas court by malicious lawsuit with flawed evidence, using the loopholes that temporary injunction can be issued without substantial review in U.S., intended to threaten our server vendor to stop game service. They not only never cooperate on helping transfer the character data of those who want to continue to play the Games according to our contract, instead they deliberately prevent players from coming back to the Games by all means, ignored players’ interest and need and repeated harming players’ rights. In the same time they kept illegally using the art resources of Wartune, and disturbing the players of Wartune with events of other games on their platform through community, Facebook advertising and email marketing, to reach their commercial intention. Who would have believed that such publisher will stand with players and protect the interests of players?


Correspondingly, we have taken active steps to safeguard Wartune Land and tried our best to return Wartune players with peace. One good news is that our Facebook Fan Page got deblocked a few days ago after Facebook Team review our legal operation qualification. And we would like to reiterate that, as the developer and the only legitimate owner of Wartune, 7ROAD had terminated the partnership with Proficient City/Game Hollywood and took back the publishing right. We urge Proficient City/Game Hollywood stop calling their platform as “authorized platform” since they are NO LONGER authorized, and stop threatening and disturbing Wartune players. But most importantly, we want to tell our players in all seriousness that CONTINUING USING THE SERVICE OFFERED BY UNAUTHORIZED PUBLISHER WILL EXPOSE YOU IN DANGER. We appeal all our valuable players NOT to provide any personal info to any unauthorized publisher, with their lure of offering legal assistance.


At present, 7.wan.com, built and released by 7ROAD, is the ONLY AVAILABLE and LEGAL website to run Wartune/Wartune Reborn. Although there are many areas that need to be improved due to lack of publishing experience, we are still trying our best to create a good environment for gaming.


7ROAD will spare no effort to defend your right for gaming!
