Just started watching "I Promise", a @Quibi documentary about LeBron James starting a school in his hometown, in OH. The fact that the content can be watched with a vertical or horizontal screen is cool, but image quality looses SO much when watching vertically. #BCNMI
1 Million viewers followed Valorant's release streaming, the brand new free-to-play 5v5 shooter developed by Riot Games (owned by Tencent). The new game, a mix between CS:GO, Overwatch and LoL, already looks to be one of the biggest games of 2020 #BCNMI https://t.co/0tsteZ2XI9
The Internet is not a safe space, and that doesn't change in the current situation. Zoom, the star application in the recent weeks, is being targeted by hackers and criminals trying to extract information and scam people. Stay safe IRL and online! #BCNMI https://t.co/ph6mYJ0zGf
In Spain, in general lockdown, massive Internet use has become a big problem for carriers. However, there’s a moment in the day when no one cares: 8PM, when everyone goes out to their balconies or windows to clap and cheer for health workers. #BCNMI https://t.co/bUFRfb0dWy
Talk about cool investment opportunities: Tencent keeps diversifying their portfolio by leading the $240M Lilium investment round, a German start-up trying to develop on-demand air taxis for 2025. #BCNMI

As I discussed in a previous tweet, Tencent may be struggling in the near future to find investment opportunities, so they are looking to develop new markets, with a special focus in India, first with startups and now with the gaming industry https://t.co/VMRDkij76A
Facing some limitations in terms of Chinese censorship, Tencent has found a new landscape for investment: Indian startups. They definitely need to internationalize investment if they want to keep growing #BCNMI https://t.co/FQRY0xP4yd
One more step Tencent takes towards expansion in India: they have now partnered with PUBG and Nodwin Gaming to bring PUBG competitions into the market #BCNMI
I finish my #Archero challenge for #BCNMI with the same feeling as with most free-to-play games: it gets to a point where you are unlikely to keep advancing without paying for extra features. Good fun and addictive though (I can say I’ve dedicated more than one hour!).
@AidanGriesser If you need to add those almost $500 to your PlayStation Plus subscription plus PlayStation Now for streaming games (maybe?)... I would give it a deep thought #BCNMI
Screen recording from one of the hottest free-to-play games right now: Raid: Shadow Legends. Peep the number of ads the game shows to the player even before getting to do anything. Someone may want to re-read “Getting Gamers”... #BCNMI
After the Coronavirus scandal, Tencent invests $215M in a foundation to help fight against the virus. Maybe to help the world, maybe to clean their reputation, maybe to make sure the market keeps active and they don’t suffer the consequences? https://t.co/8qVWGCapzp
@eduranti_bc Critics will always be there, especially people who may lose their jobs... but I absolutely agree with the statement that for every negative aspect AI may bring, there are multiple positive ones for us as a society. Very interesting! #BCNMI

@JohnReim2 There’s even been some retaliation for users commenting on it... How these events are being handled will probably not bring a good effect on their reputation #BCNMI

Lots of WeChat accounts got suspended permanently since yesterday for coronavirus posts. Many are ordinary ppl who rarely talked about politics and losing WeChat means losing all social contacts. They desperately asked Tencent to give the accounts back on Weibo.
Will Tencent be the partner selected? They may repeat their success in adapting a huge gaming hit to their main market (mobile gaming), as they already did with Call of Duty #BCNMI
Electronic Arts has confirmed they're working with a partner in China to create a mobile Apex Legends that will be released globally.
For reference. Activision worked with Tencent for Call of Duty Mobile. Blizzard partnered with NetEase for Diablo Immortal.
