I'm also mildly concerned about how Tencent managed this, and not like, anyone else being in on it. Did someone at Larian just personally invite them in?
Can Larian still call themselves indie anymore? It's all so weird.
I mean, this is literally the purpose of the entire investment banking industry. They act as intermediary between companies and potential investors, and probably helped Larian pitch and find various investors when they decided they wanted to switch from debt funding to equity funding.
Of all the various investors the bank approached for Larian, Tencent likely gave them the best valuation/deal.
