    Epic did not get bought by Tencent. Tencent owns 35% of the company’s shares. Also, if you were trying to avoid companies that Tencent has any ownership/shares in, you would have almost no one left as they have bought shares in just about every major gaming company out there.

      Doesn’t matter to me if they didn’t completely buy Epic. I’m out. And luckily I don’t care much for major gaming companies any more. I’m sick and tired of the same uninspired garbage riddled with micro transactions coming out these days. Indie games is where it’s at these days. At least those developers seem to love what they do and respect their players time. They also aren’t afraid to try something new

          I am not scared of Tencent. I deleted my Epic Account based on principle. The Tencent buy-in was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
