I'm upset that reality isn't as funny as the headline. Mihoyo apparently donated money to a university that way doing tokamak research. They don't own and operate it.

However, whales partially funding it is still true.

Gamers actually helping save the world for once.

Capitalism would have a lot more clout if billionaires and companies used their money to fund solutions to humanity's problems, instead of using their money to create problems for humanity and then offering solutions for profit.
