Regardless of what kind of secret deal Happy Farm and Tencent have reached, Tencent's strategy has indeed made entrepreneurs feel helpless. All the news about this deal can be found here.
If you want to be like the excellent foreign social game developers on Facebook, your dream is simply impossible in China.
In my spare time, I adapted Hu Yanglin's song "Perfume Is Poisonous" into "Tencent Is Poisonous". You can click here to listen to the original version while reading the adapted lyrics. Discussion can be found in the original post here. This adaptation will not infringe on Mr. Ma Huateng's reputation, so please do not pursue across provinces.
Recently, Tencent announced that it had bought the independent operating rights of Happy Farm. For a time, the Internet was full of rumors and worries from all sides. Talented netizens adapted the famous online song "Perfume Is Poisonous" to parody Ma Huateng.
The lyrics of "Tencent Is Poisonous" are as follows:
I once loved such a man
His name is called Ma Huateng
His company makes a lot of money, it's Tencent
Always relying on copying for innovation
It's also this man I deeply love
Who turned China's Internet into an isolated tomb
But he made a lot of money
Every innovation he would copy
Regardless of the pain of the entrepreneurs
My requirements are not high
Don't copy all the products
Take away the delicacies of the entrepreneurs
But every day they do the same copying
Recently, they also bought Happy Farm
Forcing others to enter their embrace
You smell too much of copper
It's my nose's fault
Shouldn't see the penguin's legs
The world thus breaks together
You want to dominate China's Internet
Relying on many product lines
Your tone is too scary
I will never be able to sleep
