Epic is owned ~45% by Tencent. So I doubt this is going to be true.

  There are several tweets specifically on this in the twitter thread: Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic 4h Replying to @CherrishChoerry @calibrono and 3 others > Epic is a US company and I’m the controlling shareholder. Tencent is an approximately 40% shareholder, and there are many other shareholders including employees and investors. Cherrish Choerry @CherrishChoerry 4h Replying to @TimSweeneyEpic @calibrono and 3 others > 40% is a big cut though. They’re already apparently pulling out of the NBA League. Can you honestly say if a similar event happened you wouldn’t have to, sever ties with said influential figure, i.e the NBA coach/Hearthstone Champ Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic Replying to @CherrishChoerry @calibrono and 3 others > Yes, absolutely. That will never happen on my watch as the founder, CEO, and controlling shareholder. 7:55 AM - 9 Oct 2019

    Of course the CEO would deny that it's a problem. He isn't necessarily being honest.

    So we’re just blindly believing whatever CEOs say now? There are so many incentives for them to say whatever the public wants to hear that it doesn’t make sense to take any of it at face value.

      He also now has a strong incentive to stick to what he said. Complying with China after publicly saying he wouldn't would be an even bigger PR disaster than what Blizzard is facing right now.
