I posted a link in my original comment about using WeChat to spy…
Tencent owns 40% of Epic. That is very likely a controlling share which means being able to decide who is on the board and influence their decision making.
Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store

Tencent could own 100% of Epic, that doesn’t mean Epic is going to install malware on your PC for the Chinese government. That’s some top tier tinfoil bullshit. Nobody who lives in the US, which is where all the Epic employees and corporate overlords live, is going to risk going to prison for decades for espionage because their boss in China wants to steal data from gamers in the West.
You’re out of your fucking mind.

Say that to WeChat.

Is WeChat used in the US? Why the fuck are you using a Chinese app as your example, you could have done better than that, you twatwaffle.

Tbh any stake is too much and I’ll try to reduce it if poasible (e.g. pihole for tracking urls).
Rather I would prefer to own stake in tencent :p At least I get paid dividends.
