The struggle shows no sign of letting up.from the Chinese government in over a year this September, and it's not like COVID is going anywhere any time soon. We can probably expect the company to continue cutting back at home and expanding abroad in the foreseeable future.

Kweichow Moutai, on the other hand, stands to benefit from promised governmentThis is far from the end of the road for a company as massive as Tencent, but it is a stark illustration of how bleak things are looking for Chinese tech companies at the minute. Nevertheless, Tencent still has fingers in plenty of pies: aside from its stock woes, Tencent has most recently been in the news for

They should close epic game store to cut losses

Tencent is living up to their name now

Best news in a long time.

Extremely fucking happy rn Tencent supports the shitty CCP and always makes cash grab spin offs of otherwise decent IPs instead of making a faithful port. I'm glad they're dying.

They ain't losing anything, CCP's got their back

Good

I guess the Small Hats took it all? well that's communism for you

Say goodbye to your fortnite skins lmao

Good.

Good.

Ohh no…. The horror…

Many people are pointing out something that is really true and fucked up, maybe this will lead them to purchase Even more actions and holdings on media

GOOD RIDDANCE

So they're down 650 billion and are still the 2nd largest company in China? How much are they still worth?

Good

. _ .

riotgames MOVE! BUY YOURSELF OUT

Still the second largest company in China. Sadly they aren't going anywhere.

SkillUpYT

Don’t know they are this many experts in financial,marketing and how to run a company Twitter is just a circus

now time for microsoft

Keep it going Tencent. I like this direction

Good.

So where did they fuck up? I’m really glad to hear this, just curious

Ban Chinese businesses in America. Ban everything to do with them.

mrpanda_play

BILLION? 650 BILLION USD? I know they're big but wtf

Their revenue is still strong; metric value isn’t always the best metric of business health.

Pack Watch

we're in a bear market lads. Netflix is also down 75%

Good

Press F to spit on their grave

GOOD.

Even though I'm not a fan of Tencent, it's always sad to see people lose their jobs.

Lets go

inshallah soon they will be worth 10 cent

good

pathofexile GrindingGearGames

Excellent

GOOD! Hope these CCP stockholding infiltrators go bankrupt and western publishers and devs have to find other investors for their games.

Muito triste com uma notícia dessas 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆🎆🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆

Nice

that liquor company is one of the biggest liquor company on the planet 😅

Press S to spit.

Wow

Good

atleast they got pubgm

YEAHHHHH BABY! THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR, THAT’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT! WOOOOOOOO!

Fantastic news

Good

lol

SYACVG can I request this post?

“Maotai rice wine”—just in case so everybody knows, it is the most expensive alcoholic drink in China that has an intense smell and taste with alcoholic content north of 50%, stronger than most vodka/whiskies/rum, and can not be blended as cocktail due to the nature of taste

This is very good news

Good

😂

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Good.

I'm betting plenty of companies are now regretting doing business with China.

jamyn

Yes finally, I hope it dies

damn bruh thas tough

Just a reminder that moutai isn’t just any liquor company, it’s the most well known one in China.

Omg thats awesome

EvilAFM cayó

FOR REAL? 🎉

sucks to be them I guess

Most excellent.

Xbox Would you mind One of the Biggest Profit on Tencent is their ANTI DDOS System It's Stronger than North Koreas Atom Bomb

One of the biggest gaming company In the world? Actually surprised

More

Yay!

hehehaha

Good. Let it lose more.

Tencent now worth Ten Cents.

wtf? is this real? How the fuck

Now can the same happen to BlackRock, please?

What’s going to happen to riotgames now? Hate to see a lot of their projects getting cancelled… especially arcaneshow. Losing over half a trillion isn’t something that can just be swept under the rug. Surely it will affect YAGERdev TurtleRock as well.

Such awful and terrible news

Like Sony.-50%.Gaming Sony its now like Roblox

fantastic news!

good, i hated their goofy ass updates on pubg

w

don't care

notaxation DustinCanFly ChrisRGun

tencent owns, was it a 50% stake in epic games?

Fico triste KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Way to go guys! Let's aim for 750 next!!

IT KEEPS HAPPENING

How? Don't they own parts of all the large gaming companies in the west?

Who cares?

Epic games 😬

I wouldn't celebrate so quickly, they might move all their stuff to the west so they can do business here

everyone's celebrating about them suffering in their domestic market, but that's exactly the reason why theyre so aggressively investing in overseas game publishers/developers. this isn't really a good thing.

W

Apparently no1 in the comments read the article.I would like for Tencent to burn, but they are saying that it's an effect of the Chinese economic problms, and if anything, Tencent will be the most successful Chinese company as they are investing and buyin foreign companies.

I hope it was because of gamers, because that would be proof that voting with our wallets works.

This is karma for milking your gamers

Thank god

From the point of view of video games in the west, I see this as good news

Lol you dont even know that the liquor company is actually on of the biggest company in china

Huge W

Kirby0Louise Cuz all that money comes directly from the Chinese govt lol... nothing new. they inflate companies all the time.

Amazing news !

Now this is good :)

Greatest news ever!

Good

WAIT IS RIOT GONNA DIE IM SO HAPPY

腾讯好死,开香槟喽

They p2w monetization is working huh tencent

Nice!

THANK YOU GOD 🙏🏾

'and players are loving it'

Good. May they can stop acquiring so many studios now.

Ha fkn ha!

Tencent is an absolute garbage company.

Let's hope it keeps getting smaller.

Pwnt

这是一个来自酱香科技的胜利🥳🥳🥳🍾🍾🍾

Fantastic

Good...

Let more bad news about them come out. Anything to get them out of gaming.

Good

taught it was the usual brit propaganda, turn out its true !

Pretty much all Asian gaming studios/companies are predatory with practices like microtransactions, except most in Japan like FromSoftware, Team Ninja, Sega, and Sony to an extent.

This shows how unlike Western style democracies, Chinese government cannot be swayed with money. Like imagine Jack Thompson is the president or the Justice Supreme Court.

Good

Good

Great

hell yeah!

Y’all acting like liquor companies aren’t some of the biggest companies in the world. Most of them are diversified & own many smaller companies. Hell, I bet some of them own tech companies.

Honestly, I've always figured we'd see a day where they'd one day be powerful enough to stage a coup in China, and become the new dictators out of the premise of being the 'saviors' who toppled the old regime.

Most of that loss is from Epic Games platform exclusivity bribe lol

Nature is healing

Play enough stupid games, win stupid prizes!

aw yisss hope they completely go under

In Chinese politics, liquor is like a cigarette in prison😰.And as you can see,Maotai liquor is bigger than a technology company,it's not good news.

Doesnt matter, sadly, they have infimoney cheat anyway.

Hallelujah

What a shame, time to go celebrate

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

They actually don’t care.

Finally, some good news

Good

the company is finally worth ten cents

Finally some good news about Tencent.

Excellent news

LETS GOOO

It's sad, because they have purchased IPs I think are valuable... but I don't trust Chinese companies, and don't believe they deserve revenue from the gaming industry.

Hopefully people like these companies will step away from their horrible monetization with stuff like this happening.... but won't.

Dare I say.. Good?
