The Trump administration is reportedly debating whether to force Chinese tech giant Tencent to sell its stakes in several major gaming companies. Officials are said to be reviewing whether Tencent’s investments pose a national security risk because of the amount of player data these companies collect. Tencent owns or holds stakes in studios behind huge titles, including full ownership of Riot Games and a major stake in Epic Games. If the US decides to act, Tencent could be forced to sell parts of those investments in American companies. For gamers, this wouldn’t mean games suddenly disappearing, but it could change who owns and profits from some of the biggest studios in the industry. The situation is still being discussed, and no final decision has been made. #leagueoflegends #fortnite #tencent
