    It’s the CCP. You can’t have a non government funded company.

      Your claim is that MiHoYo, a gaming company responsible for Genshin Impact, is a government funded company?

      Okay then.

        Yes.

        Also, they’re very obviously, as you have just pointed out, not just a gaming company.

          sigh

          Do you also think Nvidia is a government-funded company? Google? Pfizer? Your standard for government-funding makes literally zero sense.

            I guess they do get bailed out a lot. Though, it’s not like Epic Games over here is making fusion reactors.

              That’s from a lack of vision rather than anything else. Google is IIRC

            They don’t; you’re wasting your time investigating the hypocrisy of Amerikan liberals. They’ll literally never once cop to it. I’ve been trying to get them to admit they’re hypocritical garbage for nearly a decade now, it literally never sticks. They don’t care whether or not their trains of thought are critically built, investigated, or even sound as far as personal integrity goes.

            They just want to do the bidding of their masters. Dogs, one and all.

          MiHoYo… Isn’t a gaming company? How do they make their money? Jesus Christ this is some tin foil hat conspiracy shit

            Well, they’re funding a fusion reactor. I think that’s very solidly outside of making videogames.

              It’s to fight the honkai when they start appearing in our universe. (Jokes aside, a company that needs to run a lot of servers would be interested in cheap energy.)

              Google funds Calico, which studies aging. Thus, Google is an anti-aging company.

                If you’re trying to make the argument that google isn’t just a search engine, then I fully agree.

        You think a company producing weeb games can’t do this at the behest of a totalitarian government?

        Okay then

          Considering China can barely control their domestic EV industry from initiating a price war so aggressive they’ve effectively commoditized EVs… Yes?

          Hey, please avoiding words like totalitarian and authoritarian. They’re often used to make a false equivalence between fascist and socialist projects.

          Horseshoe theory is ultimately rooted in holocaust trivialization.

          From the wiki editor’s note in the last link:

          “In a company, an organization of the Communist Party of China shall be established to carry out the activities of the Party in accordance with the charter of the Communist Party of China. The company shall provide the necessary conditions for the activities of the Party organization.”

          Sounds like something all companies must comply in China.

        $147000 is a lot of money to grant to three college kids with zero proven business record.
