While disregarding the fact that they use Windows and Android. The mental gymnastics is Olympic quality.

I’ve been a gamer for a long time and did I miss a memo or something? I don’t think I’ve ever seen any credible proof that Tencent has done anything more nefarious or more often than American or Japanese software publishers. So I’m not sure how people are zealot level convinced.

      I’m not saying that China is doing that, but if an entity were to want to perform successful mass marketing or propaganda; then demographic, psychographic, and geographic data is vital to that.

That is basic marketing, and why companies ceaselessly collect as much data as humanly possible as quickly as possible.
