HONG KONG – (NGT) Following a rocky October IPO, Sea - Singapore’s answer to video game giant Tencent - has apparently sought the aid of much renowned but little understood company Influent Technologies JV to boost engagement in its currently saggy virtual world offerings. Like Tencent, the company offers games for free, then collects money when players buy virtual items like armor, weapons or special skills. Perhaps Influent will prove the aphorism true, that all rivers do flow to the Sea. Little public information is available about this proposed partnership, but concerned parties suggest it would parallel what Tencent is planning on doing for Snapchat by way of Influent’s advanced tools for organically growing user engagement. “The investment enables Tencent to explore cooperation opportunities with the company on mobile games publishing and newsfeed as well as to share its financial returns from the growth of its businesses and monetization in the future,” Tencent said in an emailed statement. While Microsoft’s AI chat bots have struggled to penetrate the murky Chinese and South-East Asian markets due to ideological differences, Influent’s native success has been assured by a combination of superior adaptable technology and rumored strong backing from state actors who are alleged to use the technology for their so-called Water Armies. When asked for comment on the matter, an Influent spokesperson sent along the following statement, a poetic passage which apparently describes the company’s logo: Flowing down the mountain Under impetus of stars Water gives life Colorful trees No further comments were available. * NewsGlobe Today Email: [email protected] Phone: +441902214089 [Copyright 2017, World Media Partnership.
