CameoAppearance Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Yeah, I brought that up because this wasn't the first time Klei's done business with Tencent, not because the new mobile game is only or primarily going to be available in China.

Tencent, the mega-conglomerate, owns Epic store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Up Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'm not a fan of these massive multibillion dollar corporations with a stranglehold on certain aspects of culture and life in general. I go out of my way to not ever buy from amazon and other rapacious companies. I don't like the decision. Klei, I'm sure, saw it as an investment in their own business. As for the communist scare nonsense in original post, the communist party is their only predominant party. Of course there are going to be party members in this china based company... breadscientist is also right that China is a state capitalist country. I find state capitalism awful, but saying things are communist like that's an argument alone to not support something is not unlike the propaganda you go on to criticize.

I agree with you almost entirely! Very well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentTwilight Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I think games are just games and should not be ideological. What distinguishes a good game from a bad game is only its "playfulness" not which company developed it or what bad things that company did.

Maxnice Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I think its a smart move for Klei，Chinese market is a delicious cake，and Tencent has control the social network of China，so it makes much more easy to enlarge the market of the DS：NH，that's a really good chance for Klei.
