    Tencent owns 30% of Larian iirc, so most likely from them

      Owned, unless you have proof they still do.

      Edit: Looked it up a bit, the shares are 70% Sven and wife, 30% Tencent. Honestly not too bad considering at the time those shares were sold, Larian was almost bankrupt.

        Love seeing you edit your comment and correct yourself/validate the other user’s statement. Breathe of fresh air from the toxic doubling-down 99% of the time on reddit.

      Interesting I didn’t know that, how long have they owned 30%?

      This post is a bit reminiscent of r/gamercirclejerk but at least your comment taught me something new and salvaged it

            Because they’re having less babies than is needed to maintain or grow their population

            2.1 babies/woman is about what’s needed to maintain a population, China was at 1.09 last year

              Some religious extremists try to argue abortion is bad, but really it’s bad when we cut a person up into 1/10ths. Strangely silent, hmmm.

              their 1 Child per family policy for decades has left them with a gigantic pile of elderly and not nearly enough working age people to support them. not to mention the young people have no training on how to support their infrastructure or manufacturing tools.

                This doesn’t even mention the gender ration disparity either that is going to hit even harder as well for them. China is gonna have even more issues in the next few decades

                I’ve also heard that they abort mostly female fetuses compared to male fetuses. Don’t know why, culture or something, but could also be a lie.

                  because if you can only have 1 child to support the family in the future you need to have the one that gets educated and paid. it went on for decades. if you search youtube for the word ‘china’ theres countless recent explanations of the various ways they are collapsing.

            Birth rates falling way below replacement levels, AFAIK. Last number I heard was 1.09 or something
