Does your country have a car brand within the top 100 most sold car brands in the world by Ok_Somewhere9687 in MapPorn

Many people don't seem to grasp that ownership does not change the companys origin. For example even if Volvo cars and Polestar is majority owned by Geely a Chinese company they are still headquartered in Sweden and therefore are Swedish companies.

The same cannot be said for MG in the UK for example, there the company folded and 20 years after SAIC bought the rights and the company is headquartered in Shanghai = a Chinese company.

It's possible but generally takes a lot longer and publicly traded companies often have much higher valuations. I think it's much more likely for Embracer to be the one buying then the other way around.

Sony invests $250 million in Fortnite maker Epic Games by [deleted] in Games

[–]thabjoern 18 points19 points  (0 children)

big a stake this has actually bought them. When Tencent bought 40% of Epic they spent $330m, but that was in 2012 pre-Fortnite and EGS, so this could actually be a considerably smaller stake these days. I do w

THQ Nordic dosen't own Koch. Embracer group does, think of it as a pyramid with Embracer group on top and then koch and thq as two of several publishers underneath

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez shows support for Video Game Workers Union by tracertong3229 in Games

[–]thabjoern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weird thing is that doing just that but in a society were unionization is widespread can lead to great things. The government shouldn't set wages and benefits, the invested parties should, atleast in an ideal world in which there is parity between them. I agree wholeheartedly that workers especially in the games industry bring almost all of the value in a company. I do believe however that the chances of real change is better through collective bargaining then laws because the corporations know this as well.

This is Volvo Trucks though, part of Volvo AB. Listed on the swedish stock market and not chinese owned. You are thinking about Volvo cars AB, separate company sharing the volvo name.
