Uh...can we get some clarification on how this executive order affects the gaming industry?

Tencent quite literally owns the entire gaming industry. https://twitter.com/blakeir/status/974656016653651968
I don't think anyone is prepared for the potential ripple effects of this executive order...
For example, historically, it is borderline impossible to distribute your game in China without receiving investment from one of the major players there.

Are we just not going to see games get distributed to China anymore?
Is there a hypothetical world where Tencent just says screw it and make League of Legends and Clash Royale unavailable in the U.S. as retaliation?

[i honestly have no idea]
