With regard to a company like Epic being bought with the intention of making it more Chinese, and catering to the Chinese audience, I think that would be a more valid concern, but I'm not sure that's the case. An awful lot of Chinese ownership in the West is about straightforward investments in those markets, without intending to make changes. As I say, many things you would never imagine are already Chinese owned, and you wouldn't even be aware of it.
I understand what you say and I agree in general but I think you are a bit naive when it is in regard of investments of China in the entertainment or media business. To think than the guys working there would do or say anything they think would be taken negatively by their owners is naive. So it has an impact.
For example, Ubisoft has announced than they will adapt Rainbow 16 to the Chinese market so they have removed everything in the game they thought would be offensive for the Chinese censure, essentially watering the game.
Obviously, they also said than that will be the new version everyone in the world will play from now and the existing games installed will be patched.
I do not expect less from that new digital shop, even if I hope to be wrong.
