Announcements - Tencent has Invested in Grinding Gear Games - Forum

Well not going to be buying anymore supporter packs. Company that gets sued on the daily for stealing games in china alone with complete asset rips and resold as their own game. Because they totally didn't say the exact same games like Archeage/Crossfire/AvA/Runescape 3 that all got turned into gambling machines for p2w. " strong reputation for respecting the design decisions of developers and studios they invest in While they've been sued for over $25Billion for doing the complete opposite? Hmm....

" Will the Chinese version get some features ahead of the international one? We develop almost all features on the international version. But sometimes, Tencent will request features that they want to try in the Chinese version that we don't plan to roll into the international version. If those features turn out to be a really good fit for both versions, then we of course port them back into the international version. Big picture, how will this change the economy? All that I can read here, without further explanation, is that China will get features that are favorable to botters.	Posted by Stringtheory#3804 on May 20, 2018, 9:27:37 PM Quote this Post
I had heard that tencent as an investor DOES in fact interfere on a certain level with their game developers. The way in which they interfere is to attempt to ensure that each of their invested companies don't interfere with each other's development (IE they don't want said invested companies competing with each other) State of Beyond Mechanic: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3568084 State of Blight Mechanic: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3568078 State of Harbinger Mechanic: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3568062	Posted by Raghin#2415 on May 20, 2018, 9:27:44 PM Quote this Post
So with China giving you all the resources you need, you can lower the outlandish MTX prices, right? And afford servers that don't make you unnecessarily nerf things like AoE, CoC, creative builds like Wormblaster, sextants, elder rings, etc.? (2-3-2019) Buff underused skills (3.23?!)+ selfcast, stop nerfing defense, build in threshold jewels (3.23?!), implement D3-style looting, add death log + MTX preview, actually rework flasks, stop balancing around the .01%, unnerf Harvest, ADD NEW WAYS TO LEVEL, finally implement Loot 2.0	Posted by Ashriel#5520 on May 20, 2018, 9:28:18 PM Quote this Post

I appreciate the transparency but I hope you have any kind of exit strategy if they change their mind and start being awful.	Posted by codetaku#0468 on May 20, 2018, 9:28:44 PM On Probation Quote this Post
While I understand it, I do not support it. I intend to invest significantly less money or none at all due to this. When righteousness falters And chaos threatens to prevail I take on a physical body And manifest myself on earth.	Posted by Thermoluminescence#5229 on May 20, 2018, 9:28:55 PM Quote this Post
