Who is SWGOH.GG? What is EA's relationship with them?
From the "State of the Galaxy Address", @CG_TopHat wrote "We’ve been working with our engineering team and SWGOH.GG". I have a few questions, and I hope they will be answered instead of censored.
Who is SWGOH.GG? I don't care so much about their "real identity", so more specifically.. do they play the game? If so, what guild(s) are they affiliated with?
What is EA's relationship with SWGOH.GG?
There are a lot of concerns about possible conflict of interest, especially since it's long been a "dirty secret" of the game that certain player circles/guilds have advanced knowledge of new content as well as the type of "theory crafting strategies" that point at computer simulation help, not to mention other possible competitive advantages that aren't afforded to other paying customers. I also can't help but think that third party engineers who have access that others don't to your systems are also the most well-equipped to cheat or facilitate cheating by selling tech.
I believe EA and/or SWGOH.gg has a responsibility at this point to be transparent about conflicts of interest and to reassure the player base that there is in fact a level playing field.
