Respawn and EA have postponed the North American Finals in the wake of the “competitive integrity” of the game being compromised. This involved a wild situation where someone was giving the pros hacks like aimbots and wallhacks as they were playing in the Finals event, effectively ruining the entire thing without anyone actually attempting to cheat. Here's what that looked like (warning: language):
This has led to a mass of complaints about Apex's anti-cheat systems, which clearly failed in a massive way for this situation. But it also speaks to just how advanced cheats have become as this is a private lobby for pros playing in an esports final.
Not that this is necessarily related, but Respawn was just hit days ago with 23 layoffs including Apex Legends developers, some of whom were longtime veterans. Though if anything, this shows that EA needs to beef up Apex's security team to some extent as something like this requires all hands, or more hands, on deck than they currently have now, it seems.
Should have learned to code better

The Context
Epic originally sued Google on August 14, 2020 over the removal of Fortnite on the Google Play Store, which was less than 24 hours after its legal salvo against Apple for the same with iOS App Store. The Epic v. Google finally kicked off with a jury trial on November 6, 2023.
The month that followed was marked by a series of explosive revelations against Google, so darning that the judge presiding over the court case called Google out for, amongst other things, "...intentionally and systematically suppressing evidence". The verdict, handed down on December 12, found Google guilty of anticompetitive and monopolistic behavior.
Yesterday, Epic Games Store tweeted:
We're coming to iOS and Android!
Same fair terms, available to all developers, on a true multi-platform store – with amazing games for everyone.
The Drama
The tweet is posted to /r/Android. There would be a lively discussion about competition, app commissions, and the quality of mobile games... right?
Can't see how this can be a bad thing, but people really seem to have a hateboner for epic
They removed Games from Steam to be exclusive on Epic Games. Greeting from Rocket League
[user A] Aka they offered Devs a good deal to continue developing their games.
[user B] Valve has more exclusives than any other store including any console.
[user C] So? Steam also has "exlusive" games... Valve and steam are the evil ones here.
[Well there are several factors, their exclusivity deals, their way of trying to be a good guy when they are after market share. The fact that more and more developers put their games into their engine. Tencent being one of the big owners.
There are many factors why you shouldnt cuddle with mr tim.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1bjk1xb/epic_games_store_were_coming_to_ios_and_android/kvs8sj8/?context=8&sort=controversial)
That's just normal stuff isn't it? I don't understand why everybody is sucking off the clear market leader but hates on companies trying to compete. Steam would do all the same if they needed to but they don't have to. Not because their product is so much better but because of their early moved advantage. I mean steam UI looks like it's from 2008.
it's more to do with tim sweeny's lies and hypocrisy, but sure it's just the launchers.
Why can't we say anything about Epic, Sweeney or the EGS without people jumping at our throats defending them?
Doesn't mean that we like google or apple's practices either
it's a weird thing i've noticed where there's so much hate for something, eventually some amount of contrarians will always show up and defend it, even when there's very little to defend. honestly a little baffling.
What people are mad about is Tim Swiney calling Valve's Steam a monopoly while Valve has never forced a developer to be exclusive to Steam lmao.
Most games that were released only on the EGS died there and had to release on Steam after a year to make money and even then it was DOA (the latest Predator game)
The service steam provides is vastly superior to epic, all my friends are on steam, my games for the past 14 years are all on steam.
Valve is historically pro-consumer are innovate in the gaming space, Epic made a child's game super popular and now want a piece of the case, they haven't done anything ground breaking.
At least Google never outright blocked third party app stores. Instead, made it easier for third party app stores to autoupdate apps.
Apple having to be forced to do this is the real lede.
Yeah instead Google just pretended to be an open platform whilst threatening OEMs and developers behind closed doors, so much better.
Exactly more competition is good for everyone
Sadly what timmy wants isn't competition and instead a walled monopoly
He managed to do it on PC by buying up third party exclusives and I bet will have an easier time on phones
Steam fanboys are a fricking weird breed.
How tf does Epic has a monopoly when Steam controls the majority of the market?
That's called competition. Are we mad about competition now and implying it's shady?
What exclusives? The only games that Steam has that are exclusive are developed by Valve themselves, publishers choose to be on steam because that's where the players are. Valve has never paid any developer or publisher for exclusivity on Steam.
You write these comments like it doesn't benefit the developer/publisher. God forbid a team of highly talented individuals have done the research and found out going with EPIC meant they can fund their next project etc.
All it means to you is you have to click a different icon on your desktop. Oh no.
EDIT: Why did I expect any rational, non selfish, thought in /Android
Flairs:
Might as well do it by white knighting themselves online
yelling "you fricking people" doesn't make you smart
most of the other Redditors were still in their daddy's balls

I've caught a whiff of some drama happening in the gacha community. The creators of a waifu game, Azur Lane, are making a new game, Azur Promilia, and this one is rumored to have the unthinkable - playable male characters. So I decided to do some preliminary research on topic, thinking I might make a thread about it here later on. I went to Twitter, logged on my account, and as soon as I typed in "azur pr", the search function automatically recommended this
Okay, so it looks like it's a topic people are talking about. I clicked on it, and got... nothing.
What the heck? No results? Why is it offering "Azur Promilia male" as a search? Did I frick up somewhere in my own search options and filtered results?
No, both of these options are unchecked. So what's going on? Why won't Elon let me see gacha drama on Twitter?

I was thinking about having several bots, but didnt want to hammer the rdrama API so I split the api querying part of my application off.
Its designed to publish events to redis maintaining an nosqlish database of the retrieved items set to time out in 1 hour.
You could subscribe pretty much as many apps as you want to it and that way only one thing is hitting rdrama at a time
Its also leveraging bottleneck, so if you use bottleneck in your API calls back to rdrama and configure it to use the redis instance, you wont exceed rate limiting, and all your applications will share bandwith nicely
I might grab posts or other things, for now Its just focused on comments.
Efficient Data Retrieval: Fetches comments and posts directly from rDrama's APIs, optimized for minimal bandwidth usage.
Redis Integration: Utilizes Redis for caching content, significantly enhancing data retrieval speed and reducing API call redundancy.
Incremental Fetching: Employs smart fetching strategies to avoid duplicate data retrieval, ensuring that only new or updated content is processed.
Scheduled Fetching: Automatically executes data retrieval operations at configured intervals, enabling up-to-date synchronization with rDrama content.
Graceful Shutdown: Implements robust error handling and graceful shutdown processes, ensuring data integrity and application stability.
Scalable Architecture: Designed with scalability in mind, allowing for easy horizontal scaling to accommodate growing data volumes.

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?
