Notton Personally, I don't care either way, so long as some US billionaire isn't allowed to buy the sold off stakes. If such a deal were to happen, I would assume it would most likely go to Bezos/Amazon Luna, although Thiel/Palantir would be my second guess. Reply
hotaru251 ngl if i was tencent…i'd take the most high def photo of my middle finger and mail it to them on exquisite parchment. riot especially is entirely owned by them… asking em to sell it would be like asking MS to sell off every gaming IP due to national security risk. edit: also if it does happen expect quality of games to go down as no other company is going to invest $ into them like tencent does (becasue they make so much via other places) Reply

TerryLaze I'm like 90% sure that this is trump trying to strongarm tencent into selling them 10% of the company at one cent per share… Reply
