The toughening regulatory posture against anticompetitive practices may throw into question the proposed multibillion dollar acquisition of game-streaming site DouYu International Holdings Ltd. by rival Huya Inc. The combination could create a Chinese game livestreaming leader akin to Amazon.com Inc.’s Twitch Interactive Inc. The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), the country’s antitrust watchdog, said last month it is reviewing the deal, which was engineered by China’s game and social media giant Tencent Holdings. The merger of Huya and Douyu, both backed by Tencent, would give Tencent a 67.5% stake in the new company, according to an agreement announced in October. This would further consolidate Tencent’s dominant status in China’s 30 billion yuan ($4.6 billion) gaming market, the world’s biggest. Tencent built up its command of the Chinese gaming industry through massive acquisitions of small rivals. Backed by its popular messaging apps WeChat and QQ, the company controls a large share of game distribution in the country. “Sixty percent of Chinese people are playing games that Tencent wants them to play,” a game industry source…

Entertainment Published: 8/Jan/2021 22:10 by Virginia Glaze Instagram: @mitchones3 / Twitch Popular streamer Mitch Jones has once again been denied a partnership with Twitch after initially losing his status in 2019 in wake of several bans. Mitch Jones is an OG IRL streamer on Twitch, having been broadcasting on the site for nigh on nine years. However, his expansive career has been fraught with controversy, as he has received a series of bans throughout his time on the platform for such offenses as reading his chat while driving and showing racist messages on camera.
