Tencent now holds all shares of Grinding Gear Games.
As the title says and as publicly visible at New Zealand government website companiesoffice.govt.nz/companies all 3333333 shares are now held by TENCENT MOBILITY LIMITED.

They previously held 3111111 shares with the remainder still belonging to Christopher John Wilson, Jonathan Woodful Rogers, and Erik Tore Olofsson.

It's your choice how to feel about this.

But because there is no way to get proof of such things, no matter how things look you will just be ridiculed and called insane for even suspecting such things. And even if there were, people will tell you they already own basically everything so might as well give up.

At some point I decided to have 0 tolerance on anything tencent owned, but its starting to feel more and more futile. That combined with everything else going on in the world, i wonder if its worth it to care about anything anymore.

Nope. It's not worth it to care about any of the going-ons anywhere outside of your home. My philosophy is, if it isn't my home, it isn't my problem.

Tencent is the reason everyone gets banned over every little thing in chat.

it just to focus on what does matter more to you, like maybe a poe1 that is p2w free
sometimes it is a lost cause, but maybe this could be a win for the players

the point about why it is sus to generalize all american/usa products as bad is that you are giving up hope, which is a pitfall
not all is lost
also, returning stuff to china is problematic

There isn't any hope lol. You're either rich, or struggling. America is ♥♥♥♥ lol

i'll agree there isn't any hope for the world, it's doomed, but there is hope individually
maybe find a church that cares, idk, gl ;#)

Id the world really doomed because Tencent owns shares of GGG? I think there are bigger problems out there.

If the games good then it doesnt matter. My advice for you is to just play the game and not care all about the business side.

I haven’t stepped down as a director of GGG, but there was a paperwork mistake where I was missed off the list when the annual return was filed this week. We complained about it yesterday and it should be corrected in the next few days.

did something change?

I suppose it is because POE 2 will be ready next year, as the year before as two years before and next year will be ready the year after.
