Tencent has Invested in Grinding Gear Games

Chris doesnt even play the game, this is the result. There is no justification for this. u just screwed us all over.

chinese company...heh

Congratulations to GGG for the acquisition. You are literally millionaires (or billionaires? could be!!) and you guys deserve that.

This is the strongest punch in the face upon waking of 2018.


Edit: I am glad I have supported more than enough before the acquisition. But I won't pay more since I do not need any more points, 80% to a company not GGG and Chris.Co is enough to stop supporting.

You still can't sink the boat even if you wanted too, it's law you can't damage other shareholders piece of the pie. You guys don't get this and imagine some conspiracy theories :)

TLDR:
please publish at least a little letter to the community about your future plans for monetization or if you dont expect things to change.

They can't, because GGG is not in charge anymore. They serve at the pleasure of Tencent. Anything they promise, say or plan is subject to change without notice and without even GGG's input on the matter.

Not then most pleasant of news to read right after waking up.

I have honestly never read nor heard a single good thing about Tencent.

To say that you retain full control of GGG and the development of PoE is completely false, considering Tencent owns 80% of the company. Probably going to be less content updates in the following years due to this. No more supporter packs will be bought from now on, never ever going to support Tencent.

I supported for all these years to help the people of middle earth. You people cut the heart out of my reason to give.

Except they absolutely can do bad decisions, and if the results of those bad decisions end with the rest of the shareholders less profit, there's nothing unlawful about it. Quote me exactly which law you are referring to.
