The Coral QQ Devoured by Commercialization

For acts infringing upon business interests, Tencent Company has always been very tough. Coral QQ was not the first modified version of QQ to anger Tencent. As early as 2003, "Mu Zi Version QQ" was extremely popular among web users and became the number one modified QQ. Due to the widespread distribution of Mu Zi Version QQ online, it caused a serious impact on Tencent's brand. On June 5th of that year, Tencent issued a warning to the developer of Mu Zi Version QQ, Mu Zi Studio, stating that "Mu Zi Studio illegally modified the Tencent QQ software," and warned that "the perpetrator may face severe civil and criminal sanctions." Later, Mu Zi Studio quickly ceased related development and gradually exited the modified QQ domain.
