And the owner of Riot Games is Tencent, that and WeChat stick out from the rest of the list because they are owned and developed by Tencent instead of just Tencent owning stock
I was just listing everything from the top of my head of things I knew they had a holding in… I mean it is a holdings company or whatever the term is… So it’s what they do… Buy all these stakes in random companies for profit… But I would say Blackrock is probably worse fuck blackrock
If you believe the Chinese government is spying on you through a video game, you’re mentally unwell. If you believe it’s unethical to monetarily support a Chinese company because ( bad thing the CIA said through its media division ), but you see no problem with supporting any other large corporation, you’re either a racist or a hypocrite.
Lots of video games contain root kits labeled as “anti-cheat” that run at ring 0 of your computer, even more access than the OS.
Yes they take info, and it has access to everything.
Again, non of those have been legally banned in the US.
I’m not saying those companies don’t exist? Just answering the question of who the top commenter was referring to, which in my opinion is Tik Tok because it’s the only one being legally banned.
Tik Tok is the only tencent company I know if that’s been labeled a national security risk.
They also have a stake in all these companies…
Legaue of legends
Epic games
Ubisoft
From soft
Activision blizzard
WeChat
LoL is not a company, the creator and owner of it is Riot Games.

Funcom (Conan games and an upcoming Dune game) and Grinding Gear Games (Path of Exile) as well.

That’s nice dear, the Chinese government doesn’t care. They have actual shit to do.
I think the MSFT buyout eliminated their stake in ABK?
Fromsoft is unfortunate, but I honestly don’t use any of the rest.
I believe discord is also owned by tencent
Tencent likely has a sizeable stake, but is unlikely to hold a majority stake of Discord.
My mistake the own a large share, enough to have sway
Tencent probably has a stake in a lot of companies.
