Not Fking good , they will censor the nudity !!

We technically already censor the nudity. The US console versions don't have full nudity, for instance.

I think the move is good when it comes to funding for their projects and helping out with getting more devs onto the team, tencent can probably help with this. I just hope funcom stay true to their current cash model and dosent end up going pay to win. Also with how promising and hyped the new Dune movie is, Funcom must understand the gem (dune ip) they're sitting on. Conan exiles with a new map in development is also looking to get a definitive spot in the top 3 survival games, so I just hopw funcom have thought this through.

We have and we believe this will be a positive move. This also helps us increase the scope of the Dune project

I like how you didn't state it would never happen. Which is pretty much a guarantee you are planning to do it.

It was more to point out that censorship is already happening. There aren't plans for us to censor the nudity on a world-wide level. It's one of the things that made the game such a huge success. Why would we remove that from the game?

Well yeah, lots of money so it's positive for you and yours but not anyone else.

More resources means we have, well, more resources. Which will help us improve Conan Exiles further

Which is exactly why some of us will never buy the console version. Down with censorship. If that happens with the pc version you are going lose a lot of customers.

Edit - just to add, if/when this deal goes through I will never again buy any Funcom product so long as they are under Chinese ownership. I have supported this game since beta but not a dime of my money is going to a Chinese-owned game company. I say this with complete sincerity: f**k the Chinese government. They are an authoritarian regime trying to expand their cultural influence beyond their borders, and one of they ways they accomplish this is exactly this kind of buyout of western companies and IPs so they can dictate the content. I’m getting sick and tired of companies bowing down to their new Chinese overlords, and I will never support a video game company that is owned by them or working with the Chinese government in any way. It’s the reason I will never play a Blizzard product ever again, and I will add Funcom to that list if necessary. Make a choice: continue what you’re doing or sell out and potentially lose those that got you here.

Well it's a good thing we're not working with the Chinese government, then.

The PC version will remain as is

Can I ask why any DLC before the new map has been claimed to be cosmetic only, yet share insanely differing attribute and temperature bonuses?

I'm told it was for balancing reasons.

Tencent works closely with the Chinese government. If this goes through you’ll practically be working for them.

Lots of Western companies work closely with their respective governments as well. Would we be practically working for those governments if another company was buying us?
