Not really trying to as i did not even react to his video, if i was trying to use his video i would do what any react channel did. I actually provided my own feed back and my own research.
Also if you watch more then first 2 seconds you hear i say its my speculation. I provide my logic for it. Maybe watch the content before making inappropriate sarcastic remarks
Was your research extensive enough that it included datamining the game files yourself, or at least looked at the data collected by the people who already do that and post it online?
I did mention his name cause he spoke about it, and peaked my curiosity. He just made fun of his bad RNG, he did not really even look into it. That is what made me to research. Just inspiration
I understand that is unfortunate realization that tencent controls nexon via net marble. And that tencent is a COMPANY that cares about PROFIT. Netmarble was essentialy bought Nexon for its asset including the patent.
Speculativly devs said they would nerf drop rates for 1.0. What if that nerf was just them adding this patent. Surprise Surpise LE is funded by Tencent
What makes you think it has anything to do with profit?
Mushroom game rng cube is purchased with real money so i can see that point of view and why they would do it.
LE has no reason to control your rng for their benefit even if ‘tencent’ wanted it. It may hinder your progress time a little but that does not equal to more profit for tencent.
There’s no way for EHG to make money from manipulating the RNG like this. Their income comes from cosmetics. The only possible reason to do so would be to slow progression down in some misguided belief that slowing progression will make it more likely for someone to buy cosmetics, which seems like a tenuous connection at best.
The games were you have to worry about this kind of thing are the predatory mobile type games where you can pay to progress/improve itemization, as there’s a direct monetary benefit to do so. EHG stands to gain nothing by doing this in Last Epoch.
Didn’t you know that the moment even a single cent is exchanged between TenCent and any person, they are mind wiped and become permanent slavepuppets of TenCent, and every action they take from that day forward is always and only for the purpose of tricking poor defenseless gamers into voluntarily spending money?
Just to be clear for people who doesn’t want to watch the clickbait conspiracy theorist video, the “research” he’s refering to is an article on reuters (about Netmarble), one on gamedailybiz about Nexon and one on mmorpg.gg about Maplestory. And… that’s it. His journalistic prowess was to link the three together.
The fun part is that he will probably disregard any arguments against his Discovery, claiming we’re just shills or blind to the Truth.
Also, Force argument was that “Because Nexon was found guilty of unfair manipulation for cash shot items in Maplestory” (…) “now we have this seed of doubt, knowing that it’s possible”. Nothing more.
Well, no s*** Sherlock. There are many very greedy companies with unethical practices. That was kinda obvious that Maplestory, and many other mobile (or mobile-adjacent) games with predatory cash shop, were in that category. With hundred of items in the cash shop, pay-to-win elements, daily rewards to reel you in, etc. I mean… come on, you really can’t see the difference ?
Sometimes the best research is the simplicity. I dont see anyone else saying it which means it was not brought to the for-front of people at this moment. It provides value in exposure to the idea which is the point. I am no data scientict, i can only do the best with what i can
The best that you can do is a google research and a thumbnail of three spiders with wordart saying “You WILL GRIND FOREVER AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY!”, “Fraud” and “Hypocracy” (lol) over the logo of Last Epoch ?
