Topic	Handful of Blizzard employees walked out in support of Hong Kong and Blitzchung
MrMallard 10/10/19 8:45:31 AM #3:	RdVEHfJqAvUPIbk posted... Valve sucks because they won't release HL3, that's all. Bethesda sucks because they put out buggy as fuck games, steal mod content and charge you for it. Epic sucks because it's more like that shitty corner store that thinks they can compete with the big kids. Blizzard sucks because they took a stance that sides with human rights abuse, The reason I brought up Epic Games in particular is because they went from developing games and licensing their own game engine to giving 48.4% of their stocks to Tencent ltd and developing an online game storefront to rival Steam. Taking people's personal information when you're that close to China's influence just doesn't sit right with me, and it's a far cry from when they were actively developing game series that people loved. I actually think that the Epic Games Store is a good idea, especially giving developers a bigger cut of each sale, but by working that closely with Tencent it feels like the information (and money) they receive through the Epic Games Store can end up in the hands of China. Activision Blizzard are only 5% owned by Tencent, and look how hard they ass-blasted this guy. I wouldn't trust a company like Epic Games when it's almost jointly owned by a company that gives its information to the Chinese government. This time it's Blizzard, but a company that's 48.4% owned by Tencent is a company that's worth keeping an eye on IMO. I still think it's dumb that Valve stopped making games and decided to get fat off if other people's video games. And Bethesda's move towards shit like Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls: Blades - i.e. microtransactions and cheap, shitty games that barely work, even moreso than the usual hate brigade tend to whine about - is especially demoralising. These are still issues. Activision Blizzard deserve to be condemned for this action, but that doesn't change just how much these other companies have changed for the worse over the years. --- And I am done with my graceless heart, so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart Now Playing: Yakuza 5, Final Fantasy X-2, Minecraft <cite>MrMallard posted [p:928584020] in Handful of...
