      @@Gurenn83 Yeah they are lol. They're totally fine sitting on the side to profit passively, they own Warframe and also have like a 90% ownership over Path of Exile (whose sequel seems to be very anticipated, given the reaction to their reveals recently).
      They also own Riot Games, and Riot went and spent over 200 million dollars on Arcane as basically a marketing tactic for League. If the companies are doing well, they'll invest, that's just how they work.

      What do you propose? For everything to be free?
      Also do you hear yourself? "Not even gacha games have loot boxes?!" The entire gacha model is loot boxes. As for the skins, I couldn't care less, it's cosmetic. I think that's where they should monetize the most, not in terms of factors which affect the gameplay. In warframe, I could grind for all the frames and not pull for a gacha character. What's limiting me is a warframe and weapon slots, which are ridiculously cheap.

    Tencent can go well, but doesnt have to. If the games are profitable enough and consistent in that, they usually leave them alone to not destroy the consistent income and/or growth.
    But when games revenue is fluctuating a lot or is simply not high enough for what they see monetary potential in, we often see how companies with majority stakes from Tencent tend to increase the monetization to some degree. And everyone that wants to point to Warframe and PoE - ones grind became more and more annoying over time, incentivizing people to buy Plat (saying that as someone with 700h+ in Warframe) and PoE is literally selling their cosmetics for hundreds of bucks.

    unless the only monitizaton changes are more skins or expensive skins im fine DO NOT TOUCH THE GATCHA, they moment they do im out
    another change tencent can actually help wuwa with while also pumping their revenue cause thats what they want is faster character releases
    AKA we get double banner sooner
    JUST DO NOT TOUCH THE GATCHA RATES heck they can even improve it to garner more players and compensate it with faster character release
    although what im scared is the event rewards will drop, like F2P are gonna be scraping the bottom of the barrel for asterites
    hands off doesnt mean they arent going to try influence the dev team, they have majority now so they technically have power to ask for more revenue
    League can survive since its a MOBA mainly, WuWa is a gatcha single player oriented game, im still conflicted and will wait on how this changes, i have positive expectations due to higher funding but this also cannot trust Tencent, big companies/corpos knows how to waddle around their words alot just for a few extra buck

No sorry, I may seem cynical but to me this smacks of a greedy corporation trying to jump on Kuro's success that they have worked hard for with both PGR and WuWa, and see how much money they can snatch out of it!! No I cannot see this as a positive ... just my personal feeling. They will try and turn both of Kuro's games into nothing but 'cash cows' for them.

      @JunHikari no, the issue is tencent doesn't have the greatest track record, the game is good I play that myself, I'm just not a fan of tencent so I'm probably gonna wait until 2.1 and see of things played out, if I didnt like what's going on, I'm dipping tbh

      ​@@vegetotownleyjust wait until 2.2 n see, this is a risky move made by Kuro but one thing for sure is they have the confidence in wuwa to make enough profits. Tencent wont interrupt their business unless wuwa doesnt meet the requirements.
