No, the censorship concerns are more along the lines of posting a photo of Winnie the Pooh on a Tencent owned chat service, then having government thugs show up to your house in the middle of the night and taking you away.
EA, Activision, Disney, etc, although they are crappy companies that buy everyone up, they are not in bed with the American government, nor are their business decisions made by the government.
Tencent is CONTROLLED by the communist Chinese government. As are all major Chinese run/operated businesses.
Actually it is concerning, because Tencent is a Chinese company that has ties to the communist government, which leads to eventual censorship, lack of online privacy, etc.
The Chinese government/market can already exert influence on American owned companies, so just wait and see what happens when companies are sold off to/give ownership to those creeps.

The only resources that Nintendo should be offering these people is deodorant and perhaps the option to speak to a psychologist.

Re: Switch Production Has Been Impacted By The Coronavirus Outbreak, Admits Nintendo
@Crono1973
Read the rest of the comments, nobody agrees with you 😂😂
More people die of the flu or pneumonia, than have died from the corona virus so far.
Media hype!
Re: Switch Production Has Been Impacted By The Coronavirus Outbreak, Admits Nintendo
Out of like 1.4 billion Chinese people, less than 200 have died.
More than 200 people have likely died in China due to car accidents in the past 3 weeks.
Relax.
Re: Comparing The Witcher Games To The Books Is Like Comparing "Spaghetti Carbonara With A Bicycle", Says Creator
I liked his answer to the idiotic question about how he felt after there was a massive reprint of his books.
He's making more money, so of course he's happy.
On that note, I'm waiting for the first sports reporter to ask Kobe Bryant's wife how she is feeling now 🙄

Grossly overpriced.

It goes beyond showing blood or anime boobies.

I don't think he understands the difference between "benefiting" from a government and being "controlled" by one.

You really don't get it at all.
Re: Chinese Giant Tencent Snaps Up 10% Stake In Sumo Digital's Parent Company, Perwyn
@NotTelevision
Tencent is controlled by the Chinese government.
EA is a private company based in America.
Please explain the double standard?

Re: Chinese Video Game Giant Tencent Wants To "Create Console Games With Nintendo Characters"
China never innovates, they just steal and copy other people's ideas.
So I think they should work with Sony, it's a better fit.

Re: Video: Here's What Alien: Isolation Looks Like On Nintendo Switch
I remember buying this game and all DLC on my PS4 around 4 years ago for like $14.
