      That’s not how investment works. Epic investors like Tencent don’t have any access to Epic customer data.

      I was not referring to customer data that i know already you give them with your privacy policy: "We may share personal information we collect within our family of companies." i use twitter as well as other social networks so i know they had it already.

      But please enlighten us Tim, about the role of Tencent within Epic. They have a big cut in your company, are you really going to tell us they take no part in decision making when they are the second highest stakeholder? Tencent that is already exponentially bigger than valve.

      Epic is an independent company with lots of investors. Epic doesn’t represent or act on behalf of Tencent or any other investor. Tencent does lots of business directly worldwide, such as publishing PUBG Mobile and operating WeChat.

      Control of a company isn’t a hazy gradual thing, but a a precise legal notion. The answer regarding Tencent control is simply, no.

      It’s tempting to seek a human conflict narrative around events, but that’s not the case. We’ve been bothered with 70/30 since 2011 when Epic began moving to online games. As Fortnite succeeded, we recognized we could go 88/12, run a profitable store, and benefit our partners.

      Try philanthropy then! Donate money to devs instead of this anti-consumer timed exclusivity garbage! You've got enough money to be the good guy to one without being the bad guy to the other! PLEASE! What you're doing is bad for the consumer & therefore bad for the games industry!

          That's a good move, although the aim is to gather UE4 adoption for a 12% or 5% cut (if they release on EGS vs if they don't) It's a business post but a positive one if out of this comes a worth playing game. the platform looks more feature rich than EGS thats good...for devs

          "Richer devs mean better games" that's based around what's called "Trickle Down Economics" it's a talking point used to justify lowering taxes for the rich & powerful.Time & again it's shown not to work. We see it all the time, EA's stinking rich but they still put out bad games!

          He said "instead", not "and". Epic's grants are good, but considering the conditions of who can receive a grant + your actions as of late. I find it hard to believe that this is an act of generosity, but rather an act to simply spread your business.

          Exactly! This is a $100 million PR budget to promote Unreal Engine. Nothing philanthropic here.

          "If your project is built in another engine or toolset and you want to move it to UE4, you are eligible to apply for an Epic MegaGrant" is this count as philantrophist act? More like political donation to me.
