Boat league!!!
Seeing so much content and adjustments makes me hopeful for the future. There is so much minion stuff I might just lay down my big stick and try it.

If you don’t play games that Tencent is involved in, you’re basically only playing indie games dude, they’re everywhere.
What do you mean by pay 2 win servers, POE is notoriously f2p?
Musk doesn’t play PoE, it’s just his version of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

So you’re not answering the question because you don’t have an answer right?

So the discussion you pointed to shows the differences. Are you on the Chinese server or does it not apply to you in the slightest?
If you want your game to be published in China there is basically no way around tencent and their adjustments. I do not like that but I do not blame the gamedesigners unless they muddy their vision worldwide. Not the case here.Removed by mod
Bruh, a quick google search shows me Tencent has stakes in;
Riot, Epic, Larian, FromSoft, Krafton, Ubisoft, Activision/Blizzard, GGG, Remedy, DE, Platinum, Kakao, Paradox, Discord and is a partner with Microsoft.
Who’s left in the AAA industry? Sony, Nintendo and cdpr?
It didn’t cost $480 dollars to get early access to PoE2, it cost $20 USD. Every microtransaction above that came with it bundled. Including the $480 league skin bundles.
You don’t need bank space to play endgame at all, it’s simply more convenient, people do it all the time.
Didn’t know about the Chinese server thing though, that’s interesting. But I doubt it’s responsible for funding the rest of the game. GGG is a private company we don’t know what their books look like but if you think most of the money comes from China I don’t think you’ve ever loaded into a town in PoE. Other companies like DE with Warframe and ArenaNet with GW2 would also theoretically be in the same boat.
Also, when it comes to Chinese releases, I’m pretty sure China requires you to have a local publisher so it’s questionable how much control of this, or how much of the profit GGG gets from it.

Bruh, valve isn’t a AAA studio, they makes games as an occasional side hustle :(
What AAA games has Disney made?
Already said Sony.
When has wizards of the coast made a game?
EA is owned by the Saudi’s instead.
They still have a stake in Activision.
Sure, they don’t own Mihoyo, but mihoyo games are definitely full of all that evil spyware, so we can probably exclude them as well.
So that makes Sony, Nintendo and cdpr right?
We’re ignoring indie, we’re talking about Tencent.
