U.S. president Donald Trump recently signed executive orders targeting TikTok?s parent company ByteDance and gaming giant Tencent, the latter of which not only took many by surprise but also alarmed the games industry.
The executive order against Tencent takes issue with its WeChat service, and prohibits U.S. citizens from engaging in any transactions. However, given Tencent?s involvement in the games industry and its ownership stakes in multiple high profile companies, the move quickly came under scrutiny. Many opined that it was inviting a legal challenge.
