As this community's Epic fanboy...

I'm okay with this. Tencent has protected Epic from hostile takeover by Google and Apple, and it's not like you have to sign a contract saying "Taiwan is China" before you open the games they make.

I'm kind of interested as to why they buy up failing studios though. A lot of them never get heard about again because they never make anything worthy of attention even with the China money.

There's arguments to be made about data harvesting, but Steam is co-operating with Perfect World, which is also Chinese. Google is notorious for sucking up every bit of data they can get their hands on, and yet there are people who have Google phones and Google home assistants.

It's definitely better than EA, but it suggests Back 4 Blood was an absolute colossal flop.

I played the beta, having a woman whine at me throughout the game was fun. Probably why it flopped, honestly. That and that there's literally no progression if you play solo.

I wish Epic would de-list Battlefield 2042 from their store already.

It’s really difficult for epic to be hostile taken over. Their stock is not publicly traded. They invited tencent in.

Google formed a task force to tank the value of Epic and try to pursuade Tencent and all other holders to sell to them so that they could make an example of Epic.

It was revealed in the court case.

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.

What happens if near half a company is held by people who want to kill it?

Has it ever happened?

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.

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.
