Is it not really buying a US/Korean game company? Or this is considered to be a different news announcement?
Hopefully they are able to continue making the same story-driven games they've been making, their games have made them my favorite studio on the market right now
This is almost certainly not the rumored Tencent move. That was billions of dollars. This is just their standard investment in small companies.
This sounds...good?
Tencent is giving them money and they keep their independency, at least this is what I understood.

I think it's something different
more similar to the Platinum bid

Netease has a stake in Quantic Dream.
Tencent has invested in plenty of western studio for years, and not one of them had creative changes.
It's great to see a company invest in DONTNOD. Their games don't exactly light the world on fire comercially so I'm glad they get to stick around thanks to this
yes you're absolutely right the company that just poured tens of millions of dollars into a game developer is about to destroy one of the cornerstones of their critical and financial success.
I imagine it would lead to trouble if they made something that's specifically CCP critical but that's a topic I wouldn't expect a studio to tackle anyway.
If only some dumbasses can read and not immediately retreat into their irrational, sinophobia-fueled fear.
DONTNOD is a publicly traded company, they are not ""indipendent"" as much as you think.
They still have shareholders and investors to make happy.
They probably had no interest in being bought out, so seeked funding instead of selling the studio.
It's a minority stake in the company. They get to make a new IP. Seems like a good situation overall
Going after the chinese games market (ZhugeEX tweet) is basically already confirming my fear but sure.
This is good imo. They are my favorite studio and it seems like their last game flopped so if they can stay in business to make more games it's a good thing.
Tencent is pretty hands off even with company's they fully own (like Riot).
Can't think of any instances of creative interference over the past decade unless someone wants to correct me.
Sure, let us all fuck them genocide concerns. They don't matter.
