Quite Possibly The Most Important Article A Gamer Will Read In 2020

Sold your damn soul to the devil. That's what I think when I see these game developers and publishers becoming mates with the one country who has cost people suffering, and death that continues to go on as the days pass. You know of whom I speak, and it is that very country who now has a good percentage of stock and say in game development. A country whom you are supporting with your money every time you spend you hard earned cash on their products. You are, through the bought out and sold out companies, paving the way for more global atrocities via dictatorship.

If you play, and pay for DLC or microtransactions in Fortnite, Path of Exile, Call of Duty, Black Desert Online, or most of the popular free-to-play titles chances are you're contributing to the cause. For it is Tencent who has bought stock for moneymaking, and influence sake in said games. Every time you see a game censored it's also likely due to the game being tied to Tencent. Studios such as Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, and even Platinum games didn't mind said sacrifice of creative freedom nor selling stock to Tencent despite the potential harm it could do Western consumers. If you think for a second these fan favorite gaming studios, and publishers care about your thoughts on the matter best think again. Heck, they don't even care about you. They, like Tencent, are in it to make bank. As long as people keep paying, and playing they'll continue to do so. The only way to stop it, to stick it to the man, is to stop playing and paying for these games and their add-on content. I know it's hard to stop playing what's popular, but for the sake of all that is good in the world, for the very lives of the people, at least try.
