Opinions are a dime a dozen but here goes …
Regardless of the current short term shenanigans, Tencent is a 40% shareholder of Epic. Mr. Sweeney has stated they have no influence on the decision making. However, someone owning that much of your company has leverage, and when the Fortnite money printing press starts its decline, who do you think buys them out? Epic isn't even in the same league in regards to company value.
Mr. Sweeney will be fine, and will be well set and very wealthy regardless of how this plays out. However, this conversation seems like it should be Tencent vs Valve, as I doubt Epic controls the reigns of this situation long term. And when speaking of who you would rather see succeed T vs V, I believe you go with Valve for a Myriad of reasons.
