            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.

      Activision Blizzard

      I think the MSFT buyout eliminated their stake in ABK?

      Fromsoft is unfortunate, but I honestly don’t use any of the rest.

        Tencent likely has a sizeable stake, but is unlikely to hold a majority stake of Discord.

            Tencent probably has a stake in a lot of companies.

      Again, non of those have been legally banned in the US.

      I’m not saying those companies don’t exist? Just answering the question of who the top commenter was referring to, which in my opinion is Tik Tok because it’s the only one being legally banned.

      LoL is not a company, the creator and owner of it is Riot Games.

        And the owner of Riot Games is Tencent, that and WeChat stick out from the rest of the list because they are owned and developed by Tencent instead of just Tencent owning stock

          I was just listing everything from the top of my head of things I knew they had a holding in… I mean it is a holdings company or whatever the term is… So it’s what they do… Buy all these stakes in random companies for profit… But I would say Blackrock is probably worse fuck blackrock
