NetDragon Websoft is a Chinese company that develops and operates massively multiplayer online games in addition to making mobile applications.[1] The company debuted its first product in 2002.[1]

Some self-developed games it operates in China are based on Western IP, such as properties of Disney, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft.[4] Other games based on its own IP are distributed in CIS nations, the Middle East, North Africa, Portugal, Russia, and Vietnam, etc.[5] Some games are also available in English.

Prior to selling this side of the business to Baidu, the company created a mobile phone app store stocked with self-created games and applications.[citation needed] NetDragon had differentiated itself by eschewing selling apps through the distribution channels of others, instead creating its own;[6] in essence making consumers download a separate app to download their apps, allowing them exposure to other Netdragon offerings in the process.[citation needed]

The company headquarters, completed in 2014, garnered media attention for being inspired by Star Trek.[7]

Education

NetDragon Websoft started getting involved in education[8] in 2010 with the aims to develop "the largest learning community globally."[9]

NetDragon has made several acquisitions regarding education and community, amongst which are included:

Sale of 91 Wireless

NetDragon sold its app store, 91 Wireless, to Baidu in 2013 for $1.85 billion. At that time, the sale was hailed as the biggest deal ever in China's IT sector.[14] As the company controlled less than 58% of 91 Wireless, Netdragon took an estimated $1.06 billion from the sale.[15]

The mobile applications available through this store, many of which are "91" branded,[citation needed] are quite disparate and include more than mobile games – running the gamut from fortune telling to wealth management.[16]

CSR

The company sponsors the Fujian NetDragon Youth Business Foundation, which helps entrepreneurial youth to start a small business.[17]
