Huawei was insisting on a 50 percent cut of Tencent’s game sales on the app store and the Tencent games were removed because the companies had been unable to agree on a deal, a Tencent source said.

The games were reinstated on the app store after further negotiations, Tencent said, adding that “both sides will continue to work together to bring better experiences and services to consumers”

Tencent sells some of the top-ranked online games worldwide while Huawei has a 41.4 percent share of the China mobile phone market and 14.9 percent of the global market, data from market researchers IDC and Canalys shows.

The games were reinstated on the app store after further negotiations, Tencent said, adding that “both sides will continue to work together to bring better experiences and services to consumers”.

Huawei did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
