Oh, kek. No one cares. Im excited for them to be owned by tencent if they move to china and never release a game in the us market again ✋
this dev is the greatest example of 'oversold, overlate, overanal', good riddence should they leave our local market, tbh.
I believe one of the reasons our culture is so fucking woke and full of censorship is because of countries continuing to accept Chinese "investment". It was the nail in the coffin for reddit. It's just a way to control the culture, scrub wrongthink, and have more approval of Chinese influence.
Never take CCP money.
Good for them, not a game genre i really like but that china money will pay a lot of salaries and fund some ambitious development
Between video game censorship guidelines from China and Western progressive ideology these games are guaranteed to be fun!
Chinese publishers appear to be working around the restrictions with foreign subsidiaries like this one will be.

Let's see how long this loophole is going to work out. If enough companies do this the Chinese government is probably going to retaliate at some point.
I'm not so sure the Chinese government will care so long as the companies keep those games out of the Chinese market to a reasonable extent and only market them to foreigners.
you didnt enjoy their game before evolve?
It’s really difficult for epic to be hostile taken over. Their stock is not publicly traded. They invited tencent in.
They would still be minority share holders if they tanked the value and convinced tencent and all of the other shareholders to sell. Sweeney still has more than 50% of the stock and he has no need to sell.
It would still be less than half and Sweeney would vote down any idea he did not like, like he does now. They would only be entitled to dividends the shares pay out (if any) and the ability to sell their current stake in the company.
link me plz bros
I’m sorry in what world was epic in danger of a hostile take over? Their engine still makes bank and tencent is not required in anyway for fortnite to be an infinite money printer.
They aren’t
they still wouldn’t have a controlling share so would have no power for decision making theyd just get some money that’s not a hostile takeover you shit heel.
You're still funding Pooh Bear's take over.
Online only allows for more harvesting than other games. Hence the value of this shitty tier d studio running online drm'd games for that country;s regime.
