Why not stop, do some research, and find out facts?There's some much unnecessary guessing and leaping to conclusions with your posts on this lol. What's going on? Is there some kind of time pressure?Tencent have an MO - they cruise around looking for Western game studios to take a significant (usually minority) stake in, and yeah they tend to provide cash which allows companies to expand when they do this. But how much cash? We have no idea. My guess is, given they only got 30% and Larian's hiring strategies etc. changes several months before that, it wasn't a crazy amount. Like they also have 40% of Epic Games (Fortnite etc.), 100% of Riot Games (!!! League of Legends), 30% of Grinding Gear Games (Path of Exile 1/2), and so on.So you're right in that Larian undoubtedly used that money to help expand, but Tencent got a pretty small share.Also it appears that Swen owns 62% of the company now (and his wife 8%), from the same document that showed Tencent owning 30%.But you keep over and over and over claiming that Larian and/or Swen were "desperate" or "against the wall" or w/e, and that's just not supported by any of the facts and is proved wrong in several of the times you've claimed it. That's where you're exaggerating and just making up nonsense. If you had the same post and didn't put "desperate" and and so on, you'd make a better point.Also lol @ "IGN India", IGN is bad at the best of time, IGN India is even worse. That's like quoting the Daily Star or something as a news source.</blockquote>
