History
Lin Qi (Chinese: 林奇；pinyin: LINQI, born in 1981 in Wenzhou, Zhejiang), also known as Titan Lin, was a Chinese entrepreneur and founder of Youzu Interactive. The company, which produces games for both its home markets and overseas markets, was acquired by Susino Umbrella in an all-stock deal in 2014. Lin Qi owned approximately 100.9 million shares of Youzu, which were last valued at $2.2 billion, according to Wealth-X. On December 25, 2020, Lin Qi died at age 39. He was allegedly poisoned on December 16 by one of his colleagues, Xu Yao, who was sentenced to death in 2024 for the murder.
Youzu Games HongKong Limited was founded in early 2013 in Hong Kong and focuses on localizing and operating massively multiplayer games in North America and Europe. In 2016, Youzu bought German online game developer Bigpoint for $89.7 million.
