Just like League of Legends is limited to one country /s

edit: For clarification, they own a majority share in companies like Riot Games. Their presence is emphatically not limited to one country.

Yes, Tencent has been trying to break into other markets like India with little success, and they do have Chinese overseas users. But ask a Cambodian or a Vietnamese if they use Facebook or wechat, they are 100% going to say the former and not the latter.

I think his point was that Tencent makes half of its revenue off games (which is a global business), even though people primarily associate it with WeChat (and social networking).
