If this is accurate it would leave a very bad impression with me. Tencent is not just a Chinese company. It is a Chinese *government* owned and controlled company. I want nothing to do with anything Tencent-related.
It's a "government" owned controlled company? where you got that from or the source is "trust me bro"?. anyway i don't care much about politics and shouldn't bring it into gaming too. as long larian deliver me a fun awesome game i care nothing more.
The CCP has unlimited authority over every business in mainland China. It does not "control" daily operations, but it steals all IP from them, censors any content it does not like, and can imprison executives or interfere in financing, advertising, production, labor, or anything else it wants to. If you don't know this, educate yourself about the world.
