I'm so glad they haven't sold out to a large American corporation yet.

It's gotta be hard to turn down all that money, but large American corporations would want to buy it just to squash the competition

Or Tencent

They did though. Tencent had like a 30% stake in either BG3 or the company.

EDIT: As seen here.

Tencent has the stake in the company and apparently it is non-voting stock.

Tencent wants market share, not money.

The money comes later, like how Uber used to be a good service.

Uber used to be a good service

The biggest cost Uber has is recruitment. And as the cost of vehicles has risen, the efforts they have to go through to get and keep productive drivers has climbed with it.

This is less about Uber market share than the real cost of operating an automobile between 2008 and 2024.
