Delta Force games high risk getting removed from steam (already on GOG)

So it was that after all, this isn't giving me a lot of faith on their future as a publisher, I hope it's not a repeat of the previous incarnation of THQ's slow decline and collapse. Ever since they shut down Volition I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that at least Crystal Dynamics manages to survive the culling.

They basically act like an investment firm. They've got their fingers in most bigger pots you can think of.

Companies don't really have any meaningful [anti-trust] restrictions in China (as we've also been orienting towards over here in the US in recent decades), and cross-industry focus is typical of larger Chinese companies, so when it's a Chinese company name you recognize, you can assume it normal to find their name on most anything you come across.

Tencent's especially notable for that, given that it's the 19th most valuable company in the world- which, given that it's primarily based in China's economy, tells you just how absurdly huge they are. (ie, considering the currency difference between it and the companies it's competing against, given the cheaper costs and far less governmental restrictions/fees it has to deal with in China. Put another way, if we consider economic impact/reach within their home country, they're likely among the very most top of companies in terms of size and power.)

That said, if we consider Tencent's main scope of industry, we can consider them basically a fusion of Alphabet/Google (having similar control over internet, AI, mobile games, smartphones, etc- they even control China's Bing-equivalent second-biggest search engine, to really make the comparison that much closer), Meta/Facebook (having dominance over Asian and I believe also SEA social media markets), Steam (not only because of their share in Epic, but also because of their dominance in China's gaming market), a top government-oriented security/surveillance manufacturer, and tons of other fields and companies related mostly to security, software, and internet functions.

(Take a moment to really consider how huge a company fusing the same scope and size as all of those companies into one actually is.)

And that's before we consider the venture capitalism zeruel mentioned- wikipedia states Tencent has investment in over 600 companies- which while likely also related to computing in most cases, can theoretically actually be in any field.

Welcome to the door of the dystopian world of megacorps. x_x

Revised it, thanks.

Yeah, It's like those clickbait titles you see in news articles, only to find they're half-true, hehe

Thank you

much appreciated

We didn't play Black Hawk co op.
We played it by turns :)

SWAT 3 was awesome. My PC was slow so my FPS was 45-50 frames. Aiming was hard :)

When we could afford the second PC we played Diablo 3, Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Division 2, some Call of Duty games, Gears of War, Halo. My dad though splinter cell is too hard. (He didn't understand stealth for long time.)
I wanted us to play Assasin's Creed Unity. He was scared of it too.
I bought so many good and mediacore Co Op games.
He needs a bit babysitting though.
So we need to play like a local lan party and I need to constantly guide him.
His english is not so well. It also hurts him.
Once I set his character and guide him what to do I get the best Father /Tank combo.

PS: I saw him headshoting bots with P90 while playing Counter Strike years ago.
Now he needs a scope to be able to aim anything :)

My ex loved playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3 co op.

Did you play Jagged Alliance 2?
It is one of my favorite turn based strategy game ever. You need to patch it with community golden patch though.
Then you receive a very detailed war game. A true goldie

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down was removed since 01/2023.

woops, missed that, sorry

If old publisher still has the rights to the old games they wouldn't be delisting them, if new publisher is paying for the rights they would want to sell them too
