Funcom (Conan games and an upcoming Dune game) and Grinding Gear Games (Path of Exile) as well.
Wtf they own 100% shares of GGG? https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/1887410/shareholdings
Well idk about supporting POE2 now. Or should I not care?
If you believe the Chinese government is spying on you through a video game, you're mentally unwell. If you believe it's unethical to monetarily support a Chinese company because ( bad thing the CIA said through its media division ), but you see no problem with supporting any other large corporation, you're either a racist or a hypocrite.
Lots of video games contain root kits labeled as “anti-cheat” that run at ring 0 of your computer, even more access than the OS. Yes they take info, and it has access to everything.
That's nice dear, the Chinese government doesn't care. They have actual shit to do.
