As we can see, among all the companies in which Tecent has invested, we can find that is the absolute owner of Riot Games, developers of League of Legends and Valorant; titles that top eSports every year. On the other hand, Tencent owns 84% of Supercell, famous for its mobile games (Clash Royal, Clash of Clans), it has also invested to a lesser extent in Activision Blizzard King and Ubisoft. And although the exact figure of its acquisition has not been revealed, it also owns a part of companies such as Discord, PlatinumGames and Roblox.
With what is already known, we can conclude that Tencet is really the real danger for both Microsoft and Sony and for the industry, and not just these two companies that fight in their own league. Nintendoalthough it is far removed from this controversy, also affected by wild acquisitions by Tecent indirectly. However, regulators do not take the Chinese company into account, and focus on points that are not relevant to the Activision Blizzard acquisition process.
