Let me guess. All Platinum developed games become EGS exclusives in the future right?

Yes Tencent owns like 49% of Epic Games.

Whats good for epic games store, is good for epic, is good for Tencent.

Now Tencent owns a large portion of Platinum games, it very likely all games from now on, show up on Epic Games store.

Going forwards they might make less games for Nintendo systems (exlusives atleast)
esp if there goal was to be "independent" and be able to self publish games.

More multiplat games from Platinum Games, is without a doubt a result of this.
In that sense, it might not be so bad for Playstation and Xbox users.

Oh for fuck's sake Tencent does not own Platinum in any way shape or form. It's a capital investment. Platinum is still independent. All this means is PG is even more independent and a CI from Ten expects some benefit in the future. It could be money. It could be an exclusive game or whatever. It doe snot mean Tencent is buying them. PG does not want to be bought.  This in no way means Tencent owns PG. They don't even have ownership of the lint on the carpet much less the company.
