Tencent's stock crashes 16% in minutes as China announces guidelines aimed reducing "excessive gaming."

[The Mad Titan]

Man all I said is I’d prefer 3rd party stay 3rd party. You’re the one out here “well it might as well be M$ buying up everything because it’s going to happen anyway”

In either case, It’s still fukk M$ and them buying up the industry.

That's cool, in that case it wasn't directed at you. I'm just saying, I said the industry is in a bubble and will soon burst, and that consolidation has always happened will continue to happen even more so with how much everything cost to make or license out.


Sony stans had all kinda jokes and Xbot comments, and here were are ain't out 2023 good and we seeing it all play out already

How? This is one of the downsides to company hoarding. It's an example of why large-scale M&A is bad for gaming.

Lmao, this is literal government interference. Not corporate interference. What the fukk are you saying? This affects businesses small and large

 

[The Mad Titan]

Who do you think you’re fooling?

It literally has nothing to do with MS I would rather any other of the big 3 buy IP's and publisher over anyone else for the very reason we've been seeing all year.

From Google and Amazon to embracer and tencent, they can all

You got so offended when I said you were a console warrior and you played it off with BG3 and you being a PC gamer but you're an actual grown man saying M$ lol..

shyt that is so childish it would literally get you banned on every website for saying it. And you say it consistently. As an adult lol.

TF are you talking about?

I don't want M$ to buy up more of the 3rd party market to put on gamepass. That's it. I honestly don't even care about them getting exclusive rights to certain IPs/Games (I.E. Blade), or buying up smaller developers to pad out gamepass.

But for M$(or Sony) to spend billions outright buying massive chunks of the 3rd party market is not what I want to see.

If you don't agree with that cool, but make sure you understand my point of view before you start calling folks names.

I'm not talking to no grown man consistently using M$ sorry. fukk your point of view.

You're just a M$ fanboy who can't see the big picture.

Slow ass folks

Lmao, how is Sony PlayStation comparable to you saying M$ while bytching about them using money.

I get your point. I just obviously disagree

I'm sorry I offended you. I wasn't aware using the abbreviation M$ would hurt your feelings.

Microsoft.

Feel better now.

Merry Christmas to you and yours too!

That Daily Reward shyt is predatory as hell. They even get grown adults with that. And once you get the streak going in the hundreds, it becomes one of the first things on your mind

I was willing to endure it for Duolingo since I know my lazy ass would’ve stopped doing it without the motivation, but it became a chore after a min.

 

[5n0man]

well...ive seen more than one video of a seemingly healthy young asian fall out dead in a game cafe. i hate private behavior being regulated but they know their people better than i do

You've probably seen more videos of healthy Chinese workers being turned into ground beef for $2 an hour cause of the lack of safety regulations.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Those are actually good rules lol (they do go overboard with the other gaming rules) but the ones here are solid.

You aren't fooling anyone, the only reason you think the big three should be the only ones allowed to buy everything is because you know only 1 of the 3 can afford it.


Nobody should be allowed to just buy competitors, in any industry.
