Some Suggestions

 

If you are asking me which ethical frameworks Tencent was in, I will definitely say with no doubt that it is teleological, in egoism method, since they are more focus on self-interest, and the self-interesting is playing a major role in their motivation and action when it  comes to decision making(Sturgeon, 2020). However, they are not ethical egoism, since what they did was hurting the other small companies and its users’ interest, in a result, Tencent was not an Ethical Egoism.  I think what they can improve is they should stop using the shady tactics and stole the ideas from other small companies. Since you may recall the Tencent total equity is around half trillion in China and Tencent is definitely not a small company that want to get inspirit and idea from other Titan of the industry. It is not a chime to make the easy money from the blooming game marketing, but it is very unethical to bully other competitors by using shady strategies. I am not expecting Tencent will become a virtue company in a short time, but they can try to become an ethical egoism, and make the ethical money. The detailed solutions are as followed:

Firstly, create a healthy competitive gaming social environment. By doing that, China’s gaming market can thrive and develop better, since sometimes by compete with other can die out the companies with no innovation and new ideas, which can give gaming companies more pressure and more motivation to work hard.

Secondly, Tencent, as a titan of industry should position themselves as the leader of the market. They should hire the moral manager have a further eyesight on long term interest, who will not ignore the law and make unethical decisions to hurt other companies. Which also include offer more support to its own sub-company, which I am talking about Riot, which Tencent ripped the idea of creating the mobile game based on League of Legend.
