[Major Ahole]

The other guy was spreading BS. It's important that the facts about how much tencent owns of each company comes out

[Wolf]

tencent is a Chinese company. this what they do. copy western companies then ban them in china so everyone has to use there crapy copy. will not be buying this game now.

[Kameraden]

That and Tencent is making it's own Competitor to Epic Games and Steam, while owning Epic Games.

"In 2017, 21 April, Tencent announced the rebranding of its Chinese 'Tencent game platform' as WeGame,[178] which was launched in September 2017. Tencent has since announced plans to develop a Hong Kong edition of WeGame that can be used by players outside of China, potentially setting up the platform to compete with Valve Corporation's Steam platform." That annoucement was just last summer.

Tencent isn't majority shareholder in Epic - Tim Sweeney is.

40% of the company, out of 9 minor/major share holders doesn't leave much room to claim Sweeney as majority holder.

Plus Tencent also has two board seats at Epic Games because of their acquisition.

According to any source that claims ownership of the studio Tencent is considered The Owner.

From Tim Sweeney, himself:

I’m the founder and controlling shareholder of Epic and would never allow this to happen.

...

Tencent is not a parent company of Epic. Tencent is an independent company that’s a minority investor in Epic, alongside many others. However they do not have any sort of access to our customer data.

Well, if Tencent don't claim to own Epic, and Tim Sweeney recently said that Tencent doesn't own Epic and that he owns Epic, then I don't know who else could possibly be able to claim that Tencent owns Epic.

If Tencent owned Epic then I'm sure Tim Sweeney wouldn't be allowed to claim that they don't and that he does - and if he did claim that despite Tencent owning Epic, then I expect that Tencent might fire him for misrepresenting the company and his authority in it.


I'm against the anti-competitive actions Tim Sweeney is doing by paying for exclusives. But, he, not Tencent, owns the controlling share of Epic - which is why he is responsible for Epic's bad anti-competitive practices.

Who cares?Why doesnt epic do something usefull and use some of their chinese bankroll to make a fn decent attempt at unreal tournament....

Tencent owns 40% of Epic. If they were to suddenly pull their shares Epic would go under. So knowing this of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ course he is going to say anything to keep them happy. If Tencent owned 15% or less I would believe him but we are talking almost half of the entire company.

If you believe anything that moron says in defense of Tencent then your IQ is the same number as the future sales of this game between now and 2020 on Steam.
