Yes. Bring Timmy boy into this shit storm. I can't wait to see his response. He just can't help himself running his mouth off and will stan shamelessly for Tencent. Come on Tim. Why is Tencent good? Tell us. Let's hear that corporate doublespeak.

"Uhh... Steam bad?"
steam aka china
Namely, Epic."This cash was and is used to do expand and buy up stakes in US gaming companies."
Whores"I’ve seen firsthand the corruption of Chinese gaming companies, and I was removed from a company I founded (after Blizzard) for refusing to take a 2 million dollar kickback bribe to take an investment from China."
"I’ve also seen how American company reps in China have been offered similar bribes to get licenses for large AAA titles."
I've noticed this with Hollywood. In contrast to 90s-00s Weinstein culture, Hollywood now is making movies where I'm surprised how "clean" they are. Wouldn't be surprised if the "Me-too" shit in itself was really a push to dislodge American power players."But now we are in a situation where unlimited Communist money dictates our American values. We censor our games for China, we censor our movies for China."
Mark KernDon´t worry Mark Kern (whoever you are) about being ethnically chinese, race is no a thing.
Ps.- And you didn´t evolve from Homo Erectus separately from the rest of human kind
Fuck China, Fuck Tencent which is China in and of itself, Fuck Activision and Fuck Time Sweeney. Just all of you wait until the usual Tencent/Epic/China defense force starts defending them.
It's a smart strategy. We pushed the USSR to its economic limits to crash their culture. China is attempting to do the same to us through subversion via our entertainment industry.It's not just Video Games they invest in now.
They have some stake in Manchester City Football Club as well, and have been trying to out-buy players in the English Premier League for years (to variable success).
I think they are trying to dictate our Democratic ways using the Capitalist culture we live on.

I can't believe American companies are bowing to demands of a communist government shamelessly for the bottom line.
99% of the time when I hear people boycotting video game companies I think they are being dramatic. Blizzard is taking earning a spot in that other 1%.

They do have an opinion courtesy of their social media post on Weibo. Read that last sentence.I don't know, its a company/corporation -- why people think companies should act as a hive-mind and have political opinions is fucking weird. It is all or nothing, people are just outraged because its an opinion they strongly disagree with.
You know for fuck sure that if it was a kid at the tournament saying, "I'm just happy to be in America where Trump is my leader" or some shit, people would be demanding Blizzard arrest them. You just got to have a blanket statement on all political messages and try to remain neutral to the best of your ability.
