HONG KONG (Nikkei Markets) -- Chinese gaming major NetEase on Thursday cautioned it expects some impact on its business from the coronavirus epidemic, even as it witnessed an increase in the number of gamers as people stayed indoors amid the outbreak.
William Ding, its billionaire chief executive, said on a conference call that while the epidemic has also forced many employees to stay indoors, the effect on research & development activities was "not big" and that it was not likely to change the expected timelines for new games.
