From [0]<p>> "Google recognized that Epic might not accept its offer. 'As a potential alternative', a senior Google executive proposed that Google 'consider approaching Tencent,' a company that owns a minority stake in Epic, 'to either (a) buy Epic shares from Tencent to get more control over Epic', or '(b) join up with Tencent to buy 100% of Epic,'" the complaint said.<p>So for Google to control Epic and perhaps protect themselves in the anti-trust complaints, they wanted to buy up shares from Tencent or team up with them to buy Epic out 100%, with the goal to stop them from complaining about their monopolistic behaviours in the Play Store.<p>Now that's one way of showing your true nature, since they know they will lose anyway.<p>Regardless, absolutely vicious creatures.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.protocol.com/bulletins/google-tencent-epic-games-stake" rel="nofollow">https://www.protocol.com/bulletins/google-tencent-epic-games...</a>
