…Are you kidding? LoL has been huge for years in NA. RIOT is an American company that was bought by Tencent. Leaving the market means they lose their entire dev team.
Investing 2 years after the game was first playable by the public counts as “giving money to create it”, now?
That’s at least 6 years after they’d have started development.
What? League is consistently the top result of twitch. Even accounting for other regions, league is by far one of the largest games people watch in na. Big na streamers pull in thousands of viewers (doublelift, tyler1 for example)
They gonna force a sale of League of Legends now?
Already can’t trust kassadin, don’t need an anti trust
More likely they would leave the market. That game isn’t really popular in NA but it’s the most popular non-mobile game in Asia

You’ve ignored reality.
LoL isn’t popular in NA anymore?
Never was that popular
COD and Fortnite are much bigger with the latter even making sports radio talk
The popularity spike was when MLG needed to fill in the Halo Reach spot due to that game’s lack of appeal

Tencent owns 11% of Reddit…
And? 11% isn’t full ownership like the thing I said.
And what DOES Tencent have full ownership of? They dip into almost everything as rich as they need to carry China’s water.
RIOT Games. The thing I started this thread saying…
Do Fortnite next.
