就此事，米哈游给出官方回应：
Regarding this matter, miHoYo has provided an official response:

> 为了适应公司未来发展需要，米哈游创始人蔡浩宇将投入更多的精力在前沿科技的研究与应用、新项目研发，以及串联国内与海外研发资源上，公司管理事务继续由米哈游创始人、总裁刘伟负责。
> In order to adapt to the future development needs of the company, miHoYo's founder, Cai Haoyu, will invest more of his energy in cutting-edge technology research and applications, new project development, and connecting domestic and overseas research resources. The company's management affairs will continue to be overseen by miHoYo's founder and President, Liu Wei.
>
> 米哈游将持续围绕文创+科创双轮驱动，为用户提供创新的、美好的、超出预期的产品与内容。
> miHoYo will continue to focus on the dual drive of cultural and technological innovation, providing users with innovative, delightful, and exceeding expectations in products and content.

> 许多游戏公司老板曾告诉游戏葡萄，他们很羡慕米哈游的高层体系。
> Many gaming company executives have told Youxi Putao that they admire miHoYo's top-level management system.
>

> 罗宇皓的公开信息很少，他几乎拒绝在台前露面，更多是在幕后负责各项目的稳定开发与运营。一位在大学期间与其相识的人士提到，罗宇皓数学特别好，相关科目和算法的成绩全是A+，他也支撑着米哈游在数值、商业化方面的竞争力。
> There is limited public information about Luo Yuhao, and he rarely appears in the spotlight. Instead, he primarily handles the stable development and operations of various projects behind the scenes. Someone who knew him during his university years mentioned that Luo Yuhao excelled in mathematics, with all his grades in related subjects and algorithms being A+. He contributes significantly to miHoYo's competitiveness in terms of numerical and commercial aspects.
>
>
> 与之相反，刘伟一直站在台前，既做外部对接，也做内部管理。自2011年米哈游开始频繁参加创业活动、与行业内人士交流起，刘伟就从几位不善交际的宅男中站出来，成为米哈游对外交流的唯一角色。
> In contrast, Liu Wei has always been in the forefront, engaging in external interactions as well as internal management. Since miHoYo began participating in entrepreneurial activities and networking with industry professionals in 2011, Liu Wei has emerged as the sole representative of miHoYo in external interactions.
>
>
> 在许多人看来，刘伟以交际广泛、人缘好、会聊天著称。和刘伟相熟的老板对他的评价为：情商高、社交牛逼症、很懂人情世故，会让人不自觉地喜欢他。有内部员工提到，有时在外面的餐厅偶遇刘伟并打招呼，他甚至会悄悄把饭菜钱付了。
> Many people view Liu Wei as sociable, well-connected, and a great conversationalist. He is known for his wide social circle and is highly regarded by those who know him. They describe him as having a high emotional intelligence, being socially adept, and understanding the ways of the world, which naturally endears people to him. An internal employee mentioned that sometimes when they encounter Liu Wei at a restaurant and say hello, he even discreetly covers the bill for the meal.
>
>
> 在玩家方面，刘伟也有着相当高的人气。在今年举办的嘉年华上，刘伟作为神秘嘉宾登场，第一次与上千名玩家在线下见面，说到过往，他在台上一边流泪，一边向玩家90度鞠躬。
> In terms of players, Liu Wei also enjoys significant popularity. At this year's Carnival event, Liu Wei appeared as a mysterious guest and met with thousands of players in person for the first time. When speaking about the past, he teared up on stage and bowed 90 degrees to the players.
>
>
> 但光靠和蔼是没法管理公司的。据相关人士指出，刘伟也有着杀伐果断的一面——过往米哈游砍掉部分项目的决定，就来自刘伟的指示。他紧盯着公司的红线，避免任何失控情况。
> However, being friendly alone is not enough to manage a company. According to insiders, Liu Wei also has a decisive side. Some decisions to cancel certain projects in miHoYo's history were made under his direction. He closely monitors the company's boundaries to prevent any out-of-control situations.

> 而蔡浩宇，则更多扮演着米哈游开拓者的角色——他也是国内诸多游戏公司中，少数一直在一线做开发工作的老板。
> On the other hand, Cai Haoyu plays more of a pioneering role at miHoYo. He is one of the few CEOs in the domestic gaming industry who has always been hands-on in development work.
>
>
> 蔡浩宇为人熟知的一面是技术男。在《崩坏3》《原神》成功后，蔡浩宇前往GDC演讲，强调他们在技术的突破。但也有业内人士分析，技术不过是烟雾弹，蔡浩宇对内容的把握能力，才是过往米哈游制胜的关键。
> Cai Haoyu is known for his technical expertise. After the success of *Honkai Impact 3rd* and *Genshin Impact*, Cai Haoyu gave a speech at the Game Developers Conference (GDC), emphasizing their technological breakthroughs. However, industry experts also analyze that technology is just a smokescreen; Cai Haoyu's ability to grasp content has been the key to miHoYo's success.
>
>
> 过往，蔡浩宇主导开发了米哈游数个重点项目，涵盖了如早期的《FLY ME 2 THE MOON》《崩坏学园》、带来商业成功的《崩坏学园2》、带来技术变革的《崩坏3》，以及改变了中国游戏行业局面的《原神》。
> In the past, Cai Haoyu led the development of several key projects at miHoYo, including early titles like *FlyMe2theMoon* and *Houkai Gakuen*, the commercially successful *Houkai Gakuen 2*,mthe technologically groundbreaking *Honkai Impact 3rd*,mand the game that changed the landscape of the Chinese gaming industry, *Genshin Impact*.

>
> 根据相关信息，蔡浩宇在每一个研发阶段，都瞄准着超出当下世代规格的产品，希望能借助一次次大跨步式的前进，构建出一个比现实更加「真实」的虚拟世界。
> According to available information, Cai Haoyu has always aimed for products that exceed the specifications of the current generation at every stage of development. He hopes to construct a virtual world that is more "real" than reality itself through each significant leap forward.
>
>
> 为了实现这一点，每当重点项目成功上线后，蔡浩宇就会寻觅一个符合预期的负责人，让后者接管制作人工作，负责长线运营，而蔡浩宇则聚拢公司的精英团队，迅速开始做下一个重点产品。这一做法也一度被视为豪赌。
> To achieve this, every time a key project succeeds after launch, Cai Haoyu seeks out someone who meets expectations to take over as the producer, responsible for long-term operation. Meanwhile, Cai Haoyu gathers the company's elite team and rapidly begins work on the next key product. This approach has also been seen as a bold move.
>
>
> 在现实的一面，蔡浩宇也是为了公司能活下去，所以采取了领先市场多步的大战略。在Handbook中，蔡浩宇也特别提到商业成功的必要性——一个能超越市场认知的项目，才能抢占用户市场，保住公司生命力。
> In the realm of reality, Cai Haoyu also adopts multi-step strategies to lead the market in order for the company to survive. In the Handbook, Cai Haoyu emphasized the necessity of business success - a project that surpasses market perception is needed to seize the user market and ensure the company's vitality.

> 2021年，蔡浩宇在上海交大的校友交流会上提到，尽管《原神》大获成功，但蔡浩宇不想将公司的上限局限在单个产品上，他希望找到一个能支撑公司前往更高目标的第二增长曲线。
> In 2021, during an alumni exchange event at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Cai Haoyu mentioned that despite the tremendous success of *Genshin Impact*, he didn't want to limit the company's potential to a single product. He hoped to find a second growth curve that could support the company's journey toward higher goals.
>
>
> 如今不可忽视的是，随着数次成功，以及公司当初未能上市的缘故，蔡浩宇也成了一个在全球范围内都相当特殊的游戏制作人：他一人，就能调度整个公司千亿级的力量，去超规格地布局一个战略。
> What cannot be ignored now is that, with multiple successes and the company's initial inability to go public, Cai Haoyu has become a very unique game producer on a global scale: he alone can coordinate the entire company's resources of hundreds of billions to strategically expand beyond standard limits.
>
>
> 也因此，如何让蔡浩宇集中精力，调度资源完成下一个重大突破，就成为米哈游现在的重点任务。
> Therefore, the current key task for miHoYo is how to allow Cai Haoyu to focus his energy and mobilize resources to achieve the next major breakthrough.

> 在游戏葡萄看来，本次调整其实也能在米哈游此前传出的高层分工调整中获得佐证。
> 那次会议指出了高层近期的工作变化：蔡浩宇将调动北美更多的资源，并投入更多精力去研究AI；罗宇皓将常驻上海，继续负责更多项目的开发。在GPT 4.0推出后，蔡浩宇更加关注AI。据悉，米哈游部分在研项目已开始应用。
> In Youxi Putao's view, this adjustment can actually corroborate the previous reports of high-level restructuring within miHoYo. During that meeting, recent changes in the high-level leadership were outlined: Cai Haoyu would mobilize more resources in North America and devote more energy to AI research, while Luo Yuhao would remain in Shanghai and continue to oversee the development of more projects. After the launch of GPT 4.0, Cai Haoyu focused even more on AI. It is reported that some of miHoYo's ongoing projects have started to apply AI.
>
>
> 这一变化意味着，米哈游要帮助蔡浩宇将更多精力从管理收回，集中在研发层，投入到更重要的开拓工作上，去突破公司上限。本次米哈游法人代表、董事会的变动，也从官方层面印证了米哈游高层的变化。
> This change implies that miHoYo aims to help Cai Haoyu shift his focus away from management, concentrating on research and development, and investing in more crucial expansion efforts to break through the company's limits. The recent changes in miHoYo's legal representative and board members also confirm, from an official perspective, the changes in the company's high-level leadership.
>
>
> 此外，米哈游此次高层调整，或也与其公司今年的全球化战略有关。
> Furthermore, miHoYo's high-level adjustments may also be related to its global strategy this year.

> 在《原神》之后，米哈游在全球市场获得成功。某大厂高层曾向葡萄君透露，《原神》上线的头两年，其海外用户数据逐步占到了大头。但据从业者分析，近两年，《原神》的爆发主要来自国内，它在海外的增势开始放缓。
> After the success of *Genshin Impact*, miHoYo achieved success in the global market. A senior executive from a major company once revealed to Youxi Putao that in the first two years after the launch of *Genshin Impact*, the overseas user data gradually became the majority. However, according to industry analysts, in the past two years, *Genshin Impact*'s explosive growth has mainly come from China, with its overseas growth beginning to slow down.
>
>
> 在游戏葡萄看来，米哈游对此颇为重视，并判断公司对全球的了解还有所欠缺，为了米哈游后续的发展目标，开始将更多视野放在全球市场。
> In Youxi Putao's view, miHoYo values this and believes that the company still lacks a deep understanding of the global market. To achieve miHoYo's future development goals, they have started to focus more on the global market.
>

> 2022年2月13日，米哈游发布了全新品牌「HoYoverse」。该品牌使命为：面向全球市场，「打造一个由内容驱动的宏大虚拟世界」。新品牌工作室覆盖全球，当中包括蒙特利尔、洛杉矶、新加坡、东京和首尔，五地工作室。
> On February 13, 2022, miHoYo announced a brand new label, "HoYoverse." The mission of this brand is to "create a vast virtual world driven by content" for the global market. The new brand studio covers five locations worldwide, including Montreal, Los Angeles, Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul.

>
> 而新品牌「HoYoverse」的创始人兼CEO，就是蔡浩宇。
> The founder and CEO of the new brand "HoYoverse" is Cai Haoyu.
>
>
> 今年，米哈游已确定瞄准全球市场。部分从业者提到，除在蒙特利尔、新加坡等地吸纳人才外，米哈游还在推动国内员工做跨国研发，以及短中期的出海办公。一些员工过去收到了可前往新加坡做短期岗的可选项。wThis year, miHoYo has already set its sights on the global market. Some industry insiders mentioned that besides recruiting talents in Montreal, Singapore, and other places, miHoYo is also encouraging domestic employees to engage in cross-border research and development, as well as short to medium-term overseas office work. Some employees have been offered options to work in Singapore for short-term assignments.

> 在过往数个产品中，米哈游持续推出高品质产品的能力已经得到验证。未来，如何调度全球资源、先进技术，去研发更多新项目，完成下一次突破，也将是这次高层调整所希望解决的核心课题。
> miHoYo's ability to consistently launch high-quality products has been proven in several past projects. In the future, how to manage global resources, advanced technology, and develop more new projects to achieve the next breakthrough will be the core issue that this high-level adjustment aims to address.
