[sigina ✝]

Just so you know, this game is owned by Tencent, and Tencent isn’t popular with a lot of people.

My dad's cousin is married to a man who owns a very large portion of Tencent, they're good people, Tencent subsidiaries makes decent games, including Baldur's Gate 3 which won numerous awards including GOTY, just so YOU'RE aware, so keep your lazy slander to yourself. Thanks.

I can't begin to list all the shady, borderline criminal gaming companies out of Sweden, especially gems like Embracer Group.

You're more than welcome to look up Naspers if you think I'm joking.

Wrong. Tencent is the parent of the company who developed the game. Tencent is a multimedia conglomerate. Don't ever credit Tencent themselves for 'making games'. They are publishers, not developers.

I didn't say Tencent made the game, just that they own the company and their product.

First of all, I don’t care if your family is involved with Tencent. The fact remains that Tencent has faced criticism for its data collection practices and potential privacy issues related to the Chinese government. I’ll still play the game, but it’s important to be aware.

Lastly, pointing out concerns is not ''slander''

Tencent didn't "make" Balder's gate 3, they own a minor portion of the company, that's not the same. Tencent has a very sketchy track record of data collection and privacy invasion, and I would argue their voice actively hurts the games they are involved with. Nobody cares you have a family member involved with Tencent, if anything it just shows you have confirmation bias. Criticism isn't slander, and Tencent should be criticized every single chance we can get

Oh yeah, evil chinese will know what porn you're jerking off to.

The fact you even mention chinese goverment shows how much of your brain matter was consumed by trash media. Another horrible take by yet another sinophobe.

Data collection practices in countries where video games are treated much like drugs and actually require photo ID in order to play them. This 'Data' Collection' is set in place so that the game can co-exist with a multitude of different countries' internet laws and be played in said countries. Trust me my man, Tencent does not value you or think your data is remotely interesting. It's not.

Your attempt to mock me doesn’t change the fact that there are legitimate concerns about Tencent’s data practices and its ties to the CCP.

If I refused to play a game because I don't like the company I'd have almost nothing left to play.

That's true, but my intention isn’t to discourage people from playing it. I’m just sharing this for anyone who wants to know.

If you're concerned go to US congress complain and lecture there. This is not the place for your nonsense.
