Description:
At 3 p.m., a man entered Shanda’s headquarters carrying gasoline and a lighter, threatening to set himself on fire. He had purchased in-game items obtained through cheats from another player, but after Shanda banned cheating, the items were deleted. When the company refused to restore them, he attempted self-immolation. Staff quickly extinguished the fire, and no one was injured.
