Just a bunch of people who are jealous of the success of Epic Games, Fortnite, Unreal Engine, Epic Games Store and Tim Sweeney.

Is there a reason no one goes after those other companies that are also partnered with Tencent? Isolated Witch hunts are always the best am I right. Guess what? Tencent also owns large percentages of Ubisoft, Riot Games, Activision Blizzard, Paradox and a bunch of other large to medium sized video game companies. We will continue to report from the frontlines as needed. The Launcher Wars are really bringing out the worst in people.

In 2012 Epic was looking to move to online games, and we invited Tencent in as an investor to help us. CEO Pony Ma and the other co-founders played a lot of Unreal Tournament back then, and visited Epic in the early 2000’s. Tencent is a Chinese company founded in 1998. But please help separate facts and opinions from the lies about spyware and foreign control.
