Plot Twist: Tencent is mostly ownd by Naspers (South Afrika) / Prosus (Netherlands).


We are talking about Grind Gear Games here, which is 80% owned by Tencent Games.

Tencent Holdings Ltd., also known as Tencent, is a Chinese multinational technology and entertainment conglomerate and holding company headquartered in Shenzhen.

Tencent Games:

腾讯游戏
Type Division
Industry Video games
Founded 2003; 19 years ago
Headquarters Shenzhen, Guangdong, China

Who has the hand on ? China.

/e:

The company employs more than 60,000 people, out of which over 11,000 are Chinese Communist Party members.

I know what Tencent is, I own Tencent stocks (so technically im a micro owner of Tencent :P ).

Doesnt change the fact that Tencents biggest stake holder is Naspers / Prosus with round about 27%. Years ago they owned almost 50% of it.

Yep, most are small investors: "get the money but if you aren't happy with our methods or the government we serve you can leave."
We have to write on a stone that 90% of Tencent managers are chinese and that 11k/66k of employees are members of... The Chinese Party.

We live in a capitalistic world.
I never spent a cent on cosmetics and I will never understand why ppl even do this... :wacko:
But hey, if it makes me (as a stake holder) money...then sure, y'all plz keep doing it! :lol:
I bought Tencent stocks in 2013 (5 years before they bought the biggest part of GGG) and even with recent month's price drops, the buy was still very profitable for me so far.
Im not sure their methods are any worse than Microsoft's or Blizzard's (i own both their stocks aswell...) and I dont care too much tbh :rolleyes:

People who believe that GGG cares about their customers probably believe that corporations really love the homosexuals just because they put a colored filter on their Twitter account's avatar in June

I would buy premium tabs & dedicated tabs (currency, fragments...)because there would be no other choice if i was planning to play this "free to play" game for more than a week.
I would take care not buying the Annihilator supporter pack because it includes a tshirt that could have been made by forced labor Uyghurs.

Yeah, sad.
