@40b073chI don't think your accusation are remotely close or accurate. Sign an NDA for a cheat? Are you joking?
1. that would ruin EA/Respawn reputation in the gaming community and trust me EA values their reputation greatly.
2. NDA can be difficult to enforce especially on a large scale. They are really only effective amongst small groups of people. The main reason being, when it involves a large group of people all knowing the same thing it's difficult to track down the person who's violated the NDA. From there an NDA can really only be enforced via civil litigation. You can't really sue someone who has nothing. I suppose you could, but it would have minimal impact on the person and you'll get nothing but big attorney bills from the litigation. I've signed NDA before with a huge billion dollar gambling companies.
3.EA already tried to pay to win with Star Wars Battle Front II. It was not popular. If EA wanted to do that with Apex, it would be available to everyone (more money in it that way). Why limit something like that to a small group? When they could make more money selling it to everyone?
4. $100 would not be nearly enough for that kind of advantage even if it existed, but it doesn't. Look at how much a Heirloom cost and that's nothing more then an animation that provides 0 benefit to the player. $175 or so to purchase the item from the event shop or hundreds of dollar spent on apex packs. If EA was handing out something that would give such a large advantage I'm fairly confident it would cost hundreds of dollars.
5. if this type of thing was going on the people who mine data from the game would stumble across it.
6. EA/Respawn don't need the revenue from this kind of thing. Apex is doing just fine as it is. The player population is healthy and lots of people like to make in game purchases to support a game they enjoy.
I have seen the strafing that you talk about and it's very suspicious in game. You can't hit them, they seem to dodge bullets perfectly. Yet despite you yourself strafing they miss 0 shots while you miss 75-80% of yours. I have not heard of any macros for this type of thing or seen any. How ever I have also been on the other side of the coin in which my strafing makes the enemy miss every shot and I land mine. I end up walking out with a squad wipe and only take 50-75 damage. Perhaps it's just lag? In which the animation and hit box are off slightly? That sounds like a more reasonable and plausible explanation to me.
There is 0 evidence for your claims.
