According to TMT Finance (via TweakTown ), rumors are swirling that Tencent is raising billions of dollars by selling debt with the intent of purchasing a big player in the video game market.
Those rumors point at Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive, or possibly even EA.

Purchasing either would give Tencent inroads into the South Korean market, but would basically be just another company for its growing empire.
