Tencent acquired 83.4% equity of Supercell for186 billion USD. I believe many players will worry that this dynamic game developer will not change its taste, and its games, especially the popular Clash of Tribes, will become different.
In this regard, Supercell officially released a brief statement, saying that the team will still have complete autonomy, and all core game functions will remain globally unified, but some Tencent-related functions may be added to the game.
Supercell also stressed that the cooperation with Tencent will not affect the player's good gaming experience.
1. After the acquisition of Supercell, Tencent will remain a strategic investor and will not interfere in game development and operation. The Supercell team will still have complete autonomy, thus ensuring that the games developed by Supercell will continue to be loved by players.
2. All Supercell's games have always been global services, and playing with players from all over the world is one of Supercell's core concepts. Therefore, after the acquisition, all core game functions will remain globally unified, including but not limited to gameplay, charging mode and economic system.
3. In order to give players a better social experience, Supercell may add some Tencent-related functions to the game, such as WeChat and QQ friends, but all decisions will be made by Supercell's game team.
