RIP FromSoft - TenCent now owns 16% of company

[Elazul]

Super ♥♥♥♥♥♥ news today. TenCent now owns 16% of FromSoft.

Supporting FromSoft now means you'll be supporting the Chinese government. Oh boy! Lets give money to the brutal dictatorship that censors everything and is actively committing genocide on the Uyghur people. Also, Elden Ring 2 is probably going to be a mobile battle royale game. TenCent ruins everything they touch. Terrible, terrible news.

Currently Fromsoftware is a japanese studio that belongs to a japanese company called Kadokawa. Does it mean that as they are Japanese we support the genocides of the Imperial Japanese Army in Korea and China? No, it just means we like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ medieval fantasy game. Sony has 14% of the studio and it does not mean that Elden Ring 2 will be exclusive to PS5?No, so please stop conspiring for a while

Found the guy who doesn't know Tencent's legacy in gaming.

I found the guys who thinks 16% means Tencent will replace Kadokawa and his 69% of the study

Yes and 16% of that Japanese company is now owned by China. If you're cool with supporting a brutal dictatorship, censorship in all things, and genocide by proxy by all means keep financially supporting TenCent owned companies.

It has long been understood that Tencent—the Chinese company that owns WeChat and QQ, two of the world’s most widely used social media applications—facilitates Chinese government censorship and surveillance.

The good side is that for tomorrow the general talk will go back to being about the difficulty of the game and OP weapons

You speak english, so easily your country (whatever it is) has done more damage to mine with pure interventionism than a regime located in another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ continent.
So who cares about China? As long as Kadokawa is in charge, or Fromsoft is bought by Sony

[Tiny serpent Shnissuvihr]

they were already dead.
