Soo...Tencent completely owns GGG?

Tencent holds 100% of GGG since march 2024.
Did I miss the news?

Is GGG still an "independent company" as they claimed 6 years ago even though tencent now owns 100%?

Does that mean tencent gets all our data since they are not considered a "third party" anymore?

Oh, that again...

Don't worry, tencent only cares about the Chinese version of POE.

As for "getting all our data" I find it hilarious people whining about this when it's a Chinese company, but are ok when it's western companies like Meta and Google.

Here's a newsflash. Your "data" is already out there. Too late, champ.

there is a difference between asking a simple question and "whining", so stop whining about people asking simple questions and simply ignore it when you cant answer like an adult.

Are you writing this in Google Chrome, logged into your private Google account? If not, then OK, be protective of your data.

Regarding an "indie company"; depends on how you're defining "indie company". Are they using a publisher? But no, it would be a stretch to call them "indie" today, when they are back by giants.

Heh!

You guys should do smarter things, what I did was to sell my data to China before anyone else could.

So all profits are mine and I can not be tricked in to giving my data away to some random app anymore.


This is the difference between 25000elo supercomputer playing 12 dimensional chess and your 1100 elo chess com account losing team games even with magnus carlsen trying to carry you.
