    I think its weird that games are essentially weapons now. Weird how we are suddenly against Chinese game companies like tencent due to security issues.

    Game companies legit are abusing their power to crash “hackers” in their games when they are using cheating hardware. And the companies can do that because the malware slotmachine games as a service, have ring 0 kernal access to your PC.

    Yet its weird we are okay with Saudis owning malware and potentially abusing that.

      I don’t know who “we” is but Chinese game companies always had a bad rep. They just recently tried to gamewash their image by releasing games in this one genre with the swords and epic journeys.
