[SaysWho?]

 

Riot Games: 100% Tencent
Supercell: 84% Tencent
Epic Games: 40% Tencent

Dozens of other developers with some sort of Tencent involvement.

Like every other Executive Order written by this administration, it's not exactly clear what is being prohibited.

 

 

Does this mean that EVERY transaction with the TenCent holding company is prohibited or only those that are specifically related to WeChat?  I can actually read the text both ways.

It’s vague because Trump don’t care. Just wants the anti China sentiment

Yeah but they like a lot of the comapanies that Tencent owns or have interests in.

Tencent is in India’s crosshairs as well. 

My mini thread on the Indian government banning PUBG Mobile and other mobile games / apps today

The game was downloaded nearly 200m times in India and is the top grossing title of all time in the country

It also had a growing esports / streamer scene

Overall negative impact https://t.co/0hRtsGKTjA

Considering that China and India are fighting a "low intensity conflict" in the Himalayas, I'm not surprised at all.
