I don’t like the religious or governmental implications this might have but I have no qualms with it’s people. Plus if china’s Tencent is already so ingrained in gaming, SA can’t be much worse. Right?

SA seems to want to be the esports hub, not game making hub. Having to travel to SA to participate is absolutely a bigger danger than playing games produced by tencent
