Yes. I am making a post full of links. Is it the money, control, or all the above. You decide. Just keep in mind in 2013 Tencent had a 24.9% stock in Activision, and may be getting ready to buy more or Activision itself. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-34592186 http://www.forbes.com/sites/dougyoung/2015/11/09/tencent-raises-more-cash-activision-in-sight/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE7PKRjrid4 http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/26/kotick-tencent-a-passive-investor-in-activision-blizzard-buyb/ http://venturebeat.com/2014/03/10/research-firm-chinas-tencent-is-now-a-bigger-gaming-company-than-microsoft-and-activision/ http://fortune.com/2015/11/03/activision-blizzard-king-digital/ Hope this doesn't come to the states.

I especially get defensive when the shady Communist controlled company is using unlawful tactics (Unlawful in the US) to spy on who an individual knows or what they do, and then gives them a Score like a Credit Score. I kind of like the freedom to speak out against my government if they are participating in acts that threatens my Constitutional rights. You should read them.
