INTRODUCTION

This statement on Schedule 13D/A (the “Statement”) amends the Schedule 13D previously filed by Perfect World Co., Ltd. (the “Reporting Person”) with the SEC on April 24, 2014, as amended and supplemented by the Amendment No. 1 filed by the Reporting Person on April 28, 2014,  the Amendment No. 2 filed by the Reporting Person on May 19, 2014 and the Amendment No. 3 filed by the Reporting Person on September 2, 2014 (the “Original 13D”) with respect to Shanda Games Limited (the “Issuer”). Except as amended and supplemented herein, the information set forth in the Original 13D remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have meanings assigned thereto in the Original 13D.

Item 4.         Purpose of Transaction:

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On January 27, 2014, Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited (“Shanda Interactive”) and Primavera Capital (Cayman) Fund I L.P. (the “Primavera,” together with Shanda Interactive, the “Consortium” and each member in the Consortium, a “Consortium Member”) entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). Under the Consortium Agreement, the Consortium Members agreed, among other things, (i) to jointly deliver a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) to acquire the Issuer in a going private transaction (the “Transaction”), (ii) to deal exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction until the earlier of (x) 9 months after the date thereof, and (y) termination of the Consortium Agreement by all Consortium Members, (iii) to use their reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to arrange debt financing to support the Transaction, and (iv) to cooperate and proceed in good faith to negotiate and consummate the Transaction.

On April 18, 2014, SDG and the Reporting Person entered into the PW Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which SDG agreed to sell, and the Reporting Person agreed to purchase, 30,326,005 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “PW Purchase Shares”) at US$3.2975 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “PW Purchase Price”) subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Pursuant to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, if (i) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares where the Reporting Person is part of the buyer consortium and the price per share in the going-private transaction (the “Going-private Price”) is higher than the PW Purchase Price, or (ii) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares where the Reporting Person is not part of the buyer consortium solely due to its own decision or election without SDG’s written consent and the Going-private Price is higher than the PW Purchase Price, the Reporting Person shall pay SDG the shortfall between the PW Purchase Price and the Going-private Price with respect to all PW Purchase Shares.  Pursuant to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, if a going-private transaction is not consummated within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares solely due to SDG’s failure to vote in favor of such going-private transaction, SDG shall pay to the Reporting Person an amount equal to the PW Purchase Price in exchange for the PW Purchase Shares. The purchase and sale of the PW Purchase Shares was completed on May 16, 2014.

Concurrently with the execution of the PW Share Purchase Agreement, Shanda Interactive, Primavera and the Reporting Person entered into an adherence agreement (the “PW Adherence Agreement”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium.

On September 1, 2014, the Reporting Person, Shanghai Buyout Fund L.P. (the “Purchaser”) and Primavera Capital (Cayman) Fund I L.P. entered into a share purchase agreement (the “New Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, 30,326,005 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “PW Sales Shares”) at US$3.45 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “PW Sale Price”) subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

3

Concurrently with the execution of the New Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person and certain other parties executed a consortium withdrawal notice (the “Notice”) and a consent and release (the “Consent”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person ceased to be a party to the Consortium Agreement and the Consortium, and all remaining obligations of the Reporting Person and its affiliates under the PW Share Purchase Agreement shall automatically terminate. As a result, the Reporting Person has no longer been liable to any other withdrawing party or any remaining party to the Consortium Agreement under or in relation to such agreement, prior to, on or after September 1, 2014, and the Reporting Person has been released, waived and discharged from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, or any other claims of similar kind or nature, arising out of or relating to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the New Purchase Agreement.

On September 23, 2014, the transaction under the New Purchase Agreement was completed (the “Closing”). As a result, all of the Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Person immediately prior to the Closing have been transferred to the Purchaser, and the Reporting Person no longer holds any Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

Descriptions of the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement, the New Purchase Agreement, the Notice and the Consent in this Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement, the New Purchase Agreement, the Notice and the Consent, which are filed hereto as Exhibits 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 7.06 and 7.07, and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Item 5.         Interest in Securities of the Issuer:

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) — (b) The following disclosure assumes that there were a total of 187,220,759 Class A Ordinary Shares and 349,801,719 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding as of September 1, 2014. Each Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote per share and is not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares. Each Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to 10 votes per share and is convertible at any time into one Class A Ordinary Share at the election of its holder. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person no longer holds any Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

(c) Except as set forth Items 3 and 4, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person with respect to the persons named in response to Item 5(a), none of the persons named in response to Item 5(a) has effected any transactions in the shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

(e) On September 23, 2014, the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer as a result of the consummation of the transaction under the New Purchase Agreement.
