For reference, the allegedly infringing patents are these:

You shouldn't be at war in an unrelated commmunity.

Yes to both. I absolutely despise both country's governments because of their actions. However mirroring the government's actions to individuals living in a country does not seem fair. I fucking hate my country's president, and would celebrate it if he died. Why should I get judged based on his actions?

Any turkish people? Check out lemmy.com.tr; it could use some users.

Doing my part

I came from EMPRESS's suggestion to migrate here (she got banned from lemmy.ml and didnt bother to change instance), stuck with here after the whole Reddit API thing.

That's an old name I haven't heard in quite a while.

Used to play Apex Legends a lot, so could give some reasons why.

A core part of Apex's monetization is "keep the core gameplay F2P accessible and make super expensive skins for those who can pay". The game would put items worth around 300$ multiple times in a single season. After that as long as the gameplay's solid; F2P players wouldn't find a reason to not play; and whales could flex their 300$ death box to all these players interacting with them. Hell, give F2P players tasks that take too long to unlock new skins; and maybe they'll toss a few bucks in too. You've got yourself a neat money loop, and players are happy.

As for cheating; most people i see cheating does it as a way of doing the unexpected in a video game. Cheating is not enjoyable to most if you do it all the time; but the cheat providers offer cheats with shorter time spans to hook the people that want to do just that. I recall an interview done with a cheat developer for a different yet similarly popular game, and they've said most of their sales come through these.

That would've hit hard if they didn't got my EA Account stolen via fraudulent support tickets a few months ago.

And next on the news, we have Livehd8 that has just launched!

lmao, to think this game costed four times as much as APB is crazy. That game was the definition of "publisher throwing money at a single project until something fun comes out" and it was fun. How do you not accomplish that at four times APB's budget?
