Tencent is definitely trying to take over. A monopoly over the gaming industry would be awful for the customer..

If Tencent buys EA, it'll give me one more reason to never buy an EA game.

I feel like Tencent owning these two conglomerates would be able to bone us over harder than all three separately. Then again, it's like to major evils being bought out by one greater evil.

I don’t think anyone wants Tencent to acquire these companies, Tencent is a greedy company .

Bruh I'm not happy with how take two has handled GTA online in recent years but I'd still prefer that they stay by themselves then fall to tencent.

Imagine being the world's biggest gaming company without having actually made any game.

Even though I don't like EA or 2K, Tencent owning them would be significantly worse than the state of where those companies are right now because of Tencent having ties to the Chinese Government. This would allow Tencent to control and censor the creative ideas game developers may have if they go against the values of the CCP.

I feel like Take Two is much more vulnerable, especially because they have multiple studios in china.
