Tencent owns like half of Epic Games. If you wanna make the China argument, that just makes Epic even WORSE in comparison.

Less than half. Tim owns the majority.

You sound very naive if you don't think anyone that does business with China, especially companies like Epic where Chinese ownership has a huge stake, aren't all doing this shady shit.

lots of things are owned by China. If you're going to actually think companies would risk stealing information that they can readily get after the 3rd website you signed up for with your info, then you're just an idiot

Steam, Epic, Riot games, whatever. No company worth a shit is actually going to let china spy or steal your info that they can't already get freely online.

Tim owns a majority share of epic

Tencent does not

If I buy 1 share of apple, do I own the whole company? Can I tell Tim Apple to make the I phone 9 finally? Can I fire him?

You're about to get blocked for trolling

Given the sheer amount of free shit Epic is giving away to try and get you to like them, I'd say you have that reversed.

Tbh there's plenty to criticize Epic over but I don't think the Tencent investment holds up to scrutiny that much.

Name some besides epic

Riot Games (actually if you are avoiding Tencent owned things this is easy because League of Legends is Cancer)
Funcom
Sharkmob
Grinding Gear Games
Supercell

Granted that's only the game companies they have enough ownership of to basically be in full control of them. Just like their 40% in Epic gives them a controlling interest.

TiMi studios is a subsidiary, they did a mobile CoD game

Really, all of this is easily found on Wikipedia.

When the other interest owns 60, that 40 doesn't mean Jack shit

Actually, Tim owns >50%. That doesn't mean he owns 60. Just that he owns the majority of the company. The remaining 10% could easily be floated among other investors.

For instance, Tencent outright owns Riot Games the Los Angeles-based studio responsible for two of the world's biggest games: "League of Legends" and "Teamfight Tactics."
Tencent also owns a substantial portion of Epic Games (specifically, a 40% stake) the North Carolina-based company behind "Fortnite," the Epic Games Store, and the software suite that powers a huge portion of gaming (Unreal Engine).

It also owns the majority of Supercell (84%), the Finnish mobile gaming powerhouse behind "Clash of Clans," "Clash Royale," and "Brawl Stars."

And that's just for starters: Tencent also has minority stakes in "Call of Duty" publisher Activision and "Assassin's Creed" publisher Ubisoft.

i don't get the big deal about epic. if they want to steal your info why exactly wouldn't it happen with say people who played shit like clash of clans(i'm sure there are some in here xd) or you know... CoD and AC either through uplay or bnet?

The thing with the internet is if a chunk of people have a reason to want something to fail (in Epic's case it's paid timed exclusives) they're going to find as many reasons they possibly can to paint the company in the worst possible light.
