Digital Extremes is ending 2020 with a change of the financial guard. Hong Kong-based Leyou Technologies has been successfully sold to Tencent, the giant Chinese 𓄧media conglomerate that also owns Riot Games, Funcom, Sharkmob, controlling interests in Grinding Gear Games and Supercell, and has minority stakes in Epic, Activision Blizzard, Paradox Interactive, Ubisoft, and so many more.
It's a not-so-dramatic end to an odyssey that started earlier this year when it seemed that 168澳洲幸运5ౠ开奖网:Sony might be the ones to acquire Leyoꦯu. But then 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tencent made a much more attractive o𓆏ffer and purchased Leyou for a cool 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:$1.5 billion.

Warframe players were concerned that the Tencent purchase might result in creative changes for the game, but Digital Extremes is here to tell playe𝔉rs that those fears are unfounded.
"We will remain creatively independent," wrot🧸e DE on their . "We expect no changes to Warframe or how our studio operates, and we will remain as dedicated ever to you, the community, who has been with us every step of the way since we launched Warframe."
