Tencent and NetEase ramping up their arms race. Tencent got the better deal here, though.

Again, this is merely sending money, not controlling the input.

Does it though? It's still a minoritary stake for both and they cannot affect that much of FromSoft business, unlike Kadokawa which still own them - while NetEase got literally the whole studio.

Only sounds like it's a little better choice in terms of investment.

Netease own minority stake in Quantic dream in the past but now they own it 100%
So anything can change.
Sony and tencent also have few stake in Kadokawa too.
who's know what will happend in the future?

Uhoh. Corporate take overs is usually the point the talent leaves the IP. Unless you get a Kojima Moment.
