Distinction of Informational and Not Recommended Reviews
Love the idea for this. It's crazy how much influence and pure purchasing power the CCP has over media companies so it's cool to have a start of a list made for those looking to buy games from honorable sources.

I have a question though. For some reviews they are listed as Informational while mentioning whatever studio is owned by China, but there's other reviews that are listed as Not Recommended. What exactly is the distinction between the two?

Informational Reviews:
Companies where Chinese Tech is minority non-controlling shareholders, with very few exceptions.
For example, Paradox Interactive is only 5% owned by Tencent, so the money would go to Paradox first and foremost.
For an exception, DOOM 3's multiplayer and only the multiplayer was worked on by Chinese-Owned Splash Damage, but the single-player should be completely clean.

Not Recommended Reviews:
Companies where China gets majority or direct gain from purchase, ergo the company is owned by China, or they are the majority controlling shareholder.
So for example Riot Games which is 100% owned by Tencent would be Not Recommended.
However Bloober Team which is only 22% owned by Tencent is also Not Recommended because 22% is the largest share in Bloober Team, making Tencent the controlling owner.

Thank you. That makes a bit more sense.
