To bad for recent, nothing but bad shyt coming out for tecent and embracer. The people that hates them got what they want. I understand why China did this for each one listed. Still daily rewards be nice though either way doesnt effect me I don't think i played tencent games that I know of. (Random empty tencent folder on phone) still curious where that came from though.
Curious if anyone thinks this is a good thing. Yeah we dislike microtransactions and gambling loot boxes, but do we want governments telling us what's good for us and what we can or can't have
