vsb

one of the mattscott q&a sessions iirc

gta 5 is significantly more complex and indepth than even a modern apb remake imo while nowhere near cheap i think 10-20 million and a couple years of dev time could result in a decent modern recreation of apb, altho it might lean heavily on a more "fortnite" aesthetic from relying on free unreal licensing, off the shelf plugins, and less realistic graphics to keep costs down

really feels like you're the only angry one here tbh (altho im flattered you went to the trouble of reading my old posts), if it makes you feel better then i'm sorry i think your hypothesis is dumb nowhere did i imply that companies in general never let things die, but i did say that orbit isnt going to continue to pay for a game they're intentionally sabotaging, all while generating negative pr, chasing off their customers, and just tarnishing their reputation in general, in the hopes of getting those same customers they chased away to spend more money i don't have to be a big business mogul to see that costs orbit a whole lot of money for very little gain

fallen earth wasn't "intentionally let die" - orbit couldn't justify the complex server maintenance needed on a regular basis and the game itself was very unstable so it was shut down, afaik it got so bad they were having to reboot the servers daily its not really comparable to apb, which could be (and has been) left on autopilot while the upgrade work happens in the background if you think its "discrediting" to point out how dumb it is to think a company would willfully tank a product that they paid a lot of money for and have put a lot of money/time into just so they might get the 400 people still playing to buy more cash shop items, then maybe you shouldn't blurt out such silly ideas i have no idea what punctuation has to do with anything, if you have a hard time determining where sentences end then i'd recommend glasses

lmao

probably one of the dumber conspiracy theories i've heard

roadmap wasn't accurate as it was being written :^)

obviously ingame names don't count as doxxing, what even?

ffbans immediately became an ego stroke for most cheaters, leading them to cheat longer or more blatantly for their 5 minutes of e-fame i also dont think doxxing falls under name&shame or acceptable retribution for cheating, but thats merely a personal opinion

punkbuster was a dumpster fire, but i dont think its really relevant since all pb bans were lifted and the anticheat was discontinued before g1 sold apb to orbit

for you maybe

its not a fact that orbit lied to the community because there's no evidence to prove that they did so, you want to minimize mattscott's claim about being falsely banned by fairfight by demanding "proof" but that goes both ways "long time known cheaters" to you and i perhaps, altho i'm willing to bet money that we've both thought someone was cheating who was completely legit, but how would orbit possibly have such indepth knowledge of the community? there were more factors than just mattscott's personal test of fairfight; it hadn't been updated/maintained for at least a year, many bans weren't documented correctly enough to even know why they were in place, and lots of manual bans for other offenses were pushed through fairfight all of this info obviously comes from little orbit so certainly it could all be an elaborate lie, but in that case what's the point of campaigning for fairfight back - if orbit was willing to lie about it the first time, why wouldn't they continue to lie this time? also i think its pretty likely that the "bug" was fairfight not functioning correctly with the broken mess that is apb, something we saw play out again with eac, and just because orbit didn't publicly release a step by step problem with fairfight doesn't mean the issue wasn't reported to its parent company i think there's a large difference between disliking the devs and believing that they're actively lying to you

a genuine question, if you think orbit flat out lied to the entire community and willingly unbanned every cheater then why do you continue to play the game that they own and operate?

ur brain is nerfed

no he didn't, which is why i questioned how a system with loopholes like those would prove his ownership

prepaid gift cards, expired or replaced cards, joint paypal accounts, and authorized users could all be exceptions to that nor do i imagine orbit would want the increased security risk of circumventing their transaction systems, there's a reason they do refunds in g1c

how would this possibly prove that you're the account owner?

grenades and explosive weapons can't be resupplied via consumable ammo boxes afaik, this change took place almost a year ago at this point

i'm fairly sure we were told at one point that a "traditional" server merge like colby/joker was too much data for one server, altho i can't seem to find where this was said

revert med spray

the shaw has only received a movement speed change over the years afaik, being forgotten in a dusty corner of the code while other weapons received numerous balance tweaks is a large part of why the shaw has fallen away from the meta

it was implemented by orbit to give extra security for the trade system, it wasnt supposed to be such a pain in the patootie but orbit never made the 2fa system prevent trade locks like they said they would

what are you talking about, trade locks were implemented by little orbit

there was a brief period that lasted about a week before a hotfix hit, where it was discovered that editing your crosshair size via config would actually affect weapon accuracy the shaw has always been a weapon of choice for blatants, because its main drawback of unpredictable recoil can be completely negated by cheats

maximum irony
