If this is true, can't wait to hear all the gamer-brained dorks whining because Tencent is a Chinese company. As if they can't handle it worse than Hasbro has already.
They can and their existing track record suggests they will be worse than Hasbro.
@Kbin_space_program @tissek @LaGG_3 elaborate
Tencent has a horrid reputation for microtransactions and being overbearing in China.
And they're accustomed to microtransactions there, so you can imagine how bad it is for them to complain about it.
In Tencent's favor I haven't really heard about them mismanaging properies or being too heavyhanded when it comes to squeezing out profitability.
Do I want DnD to be owned and controlled by another multinational holding company? No. Will it matter to me? Not really. But I do enjoy the drama.
Tencent is going to release Dark Souls 4
Yeah, at best it'll be acquired by a company that won't totally enshittify it, whoever that is. It's a big enough game that some form of enshittification is inevitable, though.
Every time i see a hexbear they are sucking dick of a dictatorship...
Get lost, all of you.
in what way is china a dictatorship?
a dictatorship of the proletariat
The one-party rule, the massive censorship, the active genocide, the crushing repression…
Are you not up to date with the latest American propaganda line? Even the UN has admitted that the genocide claims were always outlandish bullshit. You must still think Saddam Hussein had nukes.
No, I don’t. Iraq was a mistake, and the only good thing to come of it was putting one more fascist six feet under.

Oh yeah, Iraq was just a lil oopsie that killed a million people, nothing anyone should be held accountable for!
Look at you, clamoring against the Designated State Enemy with one side of your mouth and justifying our genocidal crimes against the world with the other. What a Good Little German you are. You're the only fascist here, freak, and when this rotten empire collapses soon you should find yourself a way to follow it into oblivion so your broken servile mind doesn't poison the future humanity will build in it's absence.

How much of a racist moron do you need to be to post one of these?
Also, most of these are completely innocuous phrases. Like, do you think that the CPC is covering up "Anti-Rightist Struggle"? Really?
Love to live in a world where China is committing genocide, everyone was paying close attention and were super concerned, then Ukraine happened and suddenly everyone dropped it. How is anyone meant to take that seriously? You're telling me China did the second Holocaust and all that came of it was some people stopped buying Nikes? Hello?
It's so funny (in a way ) that people are STILL claiming China is doing a heckin' genocide when Israel is right there, ACTUALLY committing genocide.
A mass-party with ~1 in 10 as a member. Multiple ruling parties doesn’t automatically equal democracy. Read up on the mass line.
Elaborate.
https://xinjiangahr.carrd.co/
Elaborate.
1: The CCP does not allow alternative parties
2: try saying anything about Tibetan Independence or Tianenmen Square in the middle of Beijing, I dare you
3: you accuse me of spreading propaganda and then link to propaganda. Also: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_papers#:~:text=The%20Xinjiang%20papers%20have%20been,China's%20internment%20camps%20in%20Xinjiang.
4: remember what happened in Hong Kong during the protests?
@Attaxalotl @robinn_IV lol some westerners are super brainwashed. Seriously. How pathetic.

Xinjiang Papers -
The quote from the New York Times Article discussing the papers [nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/16/world/asia/china-xinjiang-documents.html]: “absolutely no mercy” was from a 2014 speech on the terror attacks, specifically was referring to the perpetrators of the terror attacks, and did not scapegoat Uyghurs to any extent (what a wonder a three letter quote could be taken out of context!) in addition, the phrase “organs of dictatorship” from that speech refers to the proletarian class dictatorship The “leaked documents” (provided by anonymous sources) were affirmed by Adrian Zenz (Christofascist racist) and James Mulvenon (former member of the U.S. state adjacent Council on Foreign Relations and member of the National Committee on United States - China Relations, which along with the Defense Group Inc.—of which he is vice-president–provides military policy planning and assessments to the United States Government). Mulvenon also has testified before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a U.S. Government project. His profile for this commission reads in part:“James Mulvenon is Director of Intelligence Integration at SOS International, where he has recruited and trained a team of more than forty-five Chinese, Russian, Korean, and Farsi linguist-analysts and ten cleared software developers, performing collection, analysis, and operations support for US Government and corporate customers”
The principle document (the “bulletins” are rather benign) is a top-secret telegram which the ICIJ describes as:“...from the Communist Party commission in charge of Xinjiang’s security apparatus. The telegram, written in Chinese, is an operations manual for operation. It is marked ‘secret’ and was approved by Zhu Hailun, then deputy secretary of Xinjiang’s Communist Party and the region’s top security official.”Clearly what we have here is a document meant for only the highest levels of the bureaucracy, one which will divulge the actual thought process and rationale behind policy.
The document begins with a set of guidelines for running the facilities. First is “[to] ensure that the training venue is absolutely safe].” The guidelines follow:“It is strictly forbidden for police to enter the student zone with guns, and they must never allow escapes, never allow trouble… never allow food safety incidents and major epidemics, and they must ensure the training center is safe and free of risk”"Through letter writing, phone calls, video chats, visits, meetings, etc., establish a mechanism for students and relatives to interact with each other, to that the ensure students will have a phone conversation with their relatives at least once a month, to make their family feel at ease and the students feel safe.""...every effort should be made to fix employment work for completed graduates to ensure the smooth development of students with employment aspirations. For those who don't have the ability to work and have difficulties in life, it is necessary to coordinate grassroots organizations to seriously carry out assistance and relief work, and effectively solve practical difficulties."
There are further notes on strict time management, preventing earthquakes and fires, and also measures to surveil all areas. These seem comparable to prisons, which is in line with the highest facilities being reserved for radicalized terrorists (bulletin No. 20 deals with those spreading violent propaganda / those who have joined terrorist organizations). When considering that the United States promoted terrorist radicalization in Xinjiang such things lose isolation. The document outlines a very strict process, but one not mentioning forced anti-religious practices such as consuming pork or alcohol [The Independent 29 May 2018], organ harvesting [Falun Gong cult allegations], forced labor [U.S. Dept. of Labor], or physical abuse/torture (we cannot make a case of propaganda, because these are again purportedly top-secret documents).
Show me a picture of the Xinjaing genocide, there are so many of the genocide in Palestine perpetrated by a top intelligence agency/military equipment state so finding photo/video evidence of the Uyghyr should be easy right?
Show me a picture of a civilian death in Tianamen Square, it has been refuted by many academics from many different countries.
Do you support anti-covid lockdown protests in other countries?
Correct, though it's the CPC. No one is arguing against that (aside from that other parties do exist and are allowed to hold lower offices), they are contesting what it means. Imagining that the DNC was a state organ rather than a private institution, what problem would be posed by there only being a DNC with no RNC or other significant competitor? What does the RNC actually accomplish in this situation?
Do you know what a primary election is?
This shit is why GenZedong had bots, people come in with nothing new to say but pithy one-liners as though their interlocutor even knowing what they are talking about isn't a refutation of it being an original statement.
Yeah Chinas as democratic as North Korea!
