swgoh works with CG to expose game data to make it easier for players such as what stats a character will have at certain gear and relic levels so that we can make informed decisions
It’s just big data exposure so far (how many players have X toons / at what relic levels)
I think it’s fine and beneficial to everyone and don’t see the conflict of interest
^Obviously we know what we can currently see on SWGOH.GG, I'm pretty certain they have greater access to data than what is presented in their API and user interfaces though, and the very nature of these kinds of data systems suggest that they may have been given access to significant tools that are otherwise unavailable to the public, possibly including software that would allow them to easily run battle simulations on current, new, and upcoming data sets. I don't care so much about what they're doing, but I want to know who is doing it so I know how hopeless the efforts are when we get paired against them in TW, GAC, etc, so I don't waste my time.
I think there's no question they have a competitive advantage, I think it is EA's responsibility to disclose the full extent of their special relationship with SWGOH.GG if they want to retain integrity, especially at the highest levels of play.
