You can dislike them and Tencent because they had to be investigated, were caught breaking the law, but suffer no penalties at all for breaking the law.
It would be the same as a guy with back pain killing an insurance CEO, admitting it when caught, give the police the murder weapon, then being allowed to go on their way.
They would lose, just like last time. Underestimate Quebec at your own peril.
Microsoft has been openly against xbox exclusives since at least 2018. They used to brag about it at PAX back then that they were stopping xbox exclusives and that everything was at least going to be PC+Xbox release.
Foldables solve two problems, one consumer and one business.
Consumer problem: phones are unweildly and large. Folding allows optimal screen space in addition to a return to portability.
Business Problem: how to make people upgrade their phone every year when we can make phones that last 5-10 years+ easily? Make a folding phone that will absolutely break within a year or two tops. It is not a negative pattern like pre-1980s spark plugs or modern LED light bulbs that should never burn out but do; so governments have no reason or legal avenue to pursue.

Text of his actual speech: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/world/asia/president-yoon-speech-martial-law.html Mentioned that their budget cut 4.1 Trillion Won° from things like Disaster Prep and Child Care.
°Google says that is ~3 billion USD, but this Globe and Mail(note: pro-business extremists) says 4 billion.
Because its more complicated than him just being a bad guy.
He did a stupid, very bad move, but it was because the CCP-infected, anti-Japan opposition passed a budget that forced his hand, it would have apparently cut all government funding by a ridiculous degree.
Its important for them to preserve any chance of profit that may be squeezed from old games.
More that Greenland is a huge track of land that will likely be free of ice in the next decade, and is entirely untapped for minerals as well as oil and gas.
