Madfinger partially owned by China. What are your 2 cents about it?

[Oliver]

I just started looking in to which company is owned by whom. Madfinger happens to be the first gaming one. A Hongkong based Firm bought about 7% shares two years ago and that part is grown to now about 10%.

you'd have night terrors if you knew what all china had ownership in.

I get your point. I just thought about spending my money a little bit more aware.

It's a fair PSA on your part, Neutral comment and question, I see no problem informing people. People should know where they money are going.

Thanks. Yes, that was my goal. i started with being curious and ended up translating the czech commercial register. Procrastination as its finest.

Honestly, thinking of how you spend your 100$ isn't going to change a thing in a situation like this. Even if 10 mil people would be like "wow, not gonna give them my 100$ (obviously they wouldn't even get the full 100$ anyway)". They still would be profiting 15 Billion in just a year. It's like dumping a truck filled with water in the ocean. Doesn't really impact much.

Its Nuverse in this case. Which is a subsidiary company of ByteDance.

Thanks for your thoughts. I think its the other way around: Inform, start small and eventually it will grow and inpact the way people or a company will think about it.
