      Tencent only owns 20% of Discord’s shares, hardly a controlling amount. If you really don’t want to give a dime to Tencent (and I certainly don’t), you’ll pretty much have to stop using the internet or playing video games.

        That’s a little bit overreacted, isn’t it. This is a list and it’s not that hard to avoid this games or companies if you don’t want to support Tencent. And some of these companies are also best avoided for their own reasons.

    As much as I enjoy and grew up on Nintendo IPs, I’m completely done supporting them in any way. They’ve done so many archaic and unreasonable things to creators over the past decade that it would be amazing if their online presence just vanished altogether. This stuff against modders and emulation makers has been a new low in my eyes.

    • Wholeheartedly agree.

      Even if Yuzu did an oopsie and pushed a patch for leaked Zelda before official release, targeting the vaguely related reverse engineering projects is a completely unwarranted overreaction.

      Not to mention the rampant legal threats to video creators for literal nothingburgers 🤦‍♂️

      They won’t be getting a single cent or recommendation from me 🏴‍☠️

        Yeah it’s mind numbing that Lemmy uses matrix for Lemmy support instead of Lemmy

    I wish there was a viabale sefhosted E2EE discord alternative and no, Matrix is not it.
