The state of blue archive

KWAB moment

Their shit game should get banned from the platform. If gachapigs weren't such shit eaters, they'd all change their paid reviews to negative now they weren't getting paid for them, but again, that would require them to have principles, which no gachapig has.

>>715228185 (OP)
brat corrected

don't forget stealth adding a notice to the steam page of kernel level anticheat AFTER the game has been out several days now and people have downloaded it without knowing.

The event had already been on for a while lol, are they really going to just reap the rewards no problem?

>>715228436
Do you honestly think that any gachafag would care? "Playing" gachashit is already intentionally signing up to get assfucked by shitty corporations.

gaben won
gooks cried

The mental part is most gachas would go "oops sorry for the inconvenience pwayerbase san, we will give you the rewards anyways"
They'll probably end up backtracking, maybe after a bit of reviewbombing, and giving the playerbase most or all of the promised rewards

>>715228185 (OP)
That's it? That's all the people brigading against BA managed to win, a cancelled event? An event that was going to give barely anything as well?

>>715228786
Not at all lol. You are better off with the Chinese rewarding you with anything than the South Koreans. Or you could ignore this mess and actually play Umamusume.

>>715228645
True. That and the SEA's think they get anything for FREE and it's all generous. LMAO.

>>715228185 (OP)
Surely playing the game is it's own reward?

>>715229032
I don't play Pedo Archive, only real games with gameplay like Arknights, but I can't imagine they don't walk this back and give people something

Steam should ban western slop and only publish gacha games. Honestly the amount of mental illness Concord and Dragon Age Veilguard trannies brought into the video game industry needed to be quarantined a decade ago. AAA tranny games should only be available on USB thumbstick peddled on the streets of SanFran or Montreal where the devs who made them all work/live.

ANOTHER VICTIM of BIG DADDY NEXON!
In MapleStory I was able to make 6 figures from selling mesos, despite losing tens of thousands of dollars to the ol' SPERMANENT BAN.
Nexon learned from that and made Blue Archive, which has no RMT. When you play gacha you agree to be ass raped!
It's even worse. You agree to pay to be ass raped!

Really, someone should build an IRL monument to all the rectums that were ruined.
Yes.
A big marble statue which shows a player in agony as the NEXON MONSTER WHOPPER enters his ANUS!
We could have a special memorial day where we gather around the statue, all dressed up like Sensei, holding candles, make some speeches and offer up our thoughts and prayers. Then we could form a solemn procession which smears industrial grade lubricant around the players asshole. To show we care.
WE OWE IT TO THOSE WHO LOST THEIR ANAL VIRGINITY!

>>715228786
the problem is they can't give the rewards at all because then that would be paying for reviews that's why they had to cancel it in the first place.

>>715228645
It doesn't matter if nobody cares. Rules are rules.

>>715231664
just give apologems and say its for them fucking up
>completely different reward for a different reason
problem solved

>>715231805
sure but they are probably scared of potentially breaking TOS a second time, it was a retarded move but im willing to bet they genuinely had no idea it was a problem.

>>715228185 (OP)
Such a phone app situation. You use one for five minutes and it goes 'You like our app? Please rate and comment right now! Thanks, bye bye!'.

>>715231903
>it was a retarded move but im willing to bet they genuinely had no idea it was a problem
typical Nexon
despite being retards, they got lucky once with MapleStory and then got lucky again with Blue Archive

>>715232980
lucky how as in they werent booted off steam? that was very unlikely to happen with how big they are and how small of an issue this is

Any loyal grubbas here?

>>715228436
That's a "yeah nah" moment. Guess I'll read the rest of the story on youtube or something.

>>715228436
The game uses the same anti-cheat it does on android, Nexon Game Security, so I don't care, I already knew it existed. Since the alternative is using Chinese emulators that do even more spying.

>>715230509

>>715236109
Blah blah, ring 0 access, it can read the entire OS memory and prevent process from hooking to the game, still better than Chinese emulators that installs like 10 of those..
What now?

>>715235852
There is an option, not playing the game. Which I and I'm sure other newfags would have taken had we known.
Genuinely have half a mind to lodge a formal consumer complaint with my shitty Euro country and see if it escalates.

>>715228436
Was it added in an update? What's the removal guide? I'm running chkdsk right now but I want to blame a kernel anticheat since that's usually the culprit

>>715237078
Quite concerning if you ask me.

>>715236558
Not including the disclaimer was scummy yes, but it's common sense at this point, all PC gachas, will either have ACE(from Tencent) or custom ones from Mihoyo or in this Nexon.
>>715237078
It was already there from launch, pic related is the process, you likely can't run the game without it or you'll get banned. Names are NGS-x and NGS. grap-core.aes running from the NGS service that only triggers when the game exe runs.

lmao gachashit getting humbled is so nice ot see

>>715237278
I saw that file in task manager too. Should have known grap-core was sus

You don't even know what that means.

Yeah I figured as much, thanks for confirming. Knew something was off when my firewall screamed at grap-core.aes on launch. Funny how this kind of crap is just “industry standard” now. I just wanted to click anime girls, not install a glorified rootkit. Might be time to dust off a VM or just stop giving money to companies that spy harder than the CIA.

Uma uses kernel level anticheat too, all gachas do

>>715247564
What online game doesn't use kernel shit these days? This has been happening since MMOs in the early 2000s. Gameguard was and still is trash.

>>715228185 (OP)
Bribing for reviews should be illegal on all platforms. Fuck this shit.

>>715228436

Buzzwords that mean nothing to 99.9% of players

>>715247724

>>715228185 (OP)
they should be forced to give out the reward to everyone.

They probably managed to get some extra reviews thanks to this event and now player get nothing. They deserve a negative reward for this if anything.

>>715247772
I thought the steam version even worked on linux

>>715249154
If it was anyone else they would've defaulted to giving everyone the reward as an apology.
If it was limbus company they would have refunded any money spent since the steam release and then they would've given the new character for free to everyone before apologizing some more.
Two different kinds of korean companies

>>715228185 (OP)
Not to mention being brutally mogged by horse girls.

>>715228185 (OP)
Valve probably told them to knock it off. They're getting a lot more leeway because they're owned by a multibillion dollar company. Any smaller game would have already got banned.

>anon it works on linux
It says on the steam page that it's kernel level, doesn't mean it shouldn't work under linux.
Usually kernel level anticheats are designed to specifically classify non bare metal windows computers as cheaters, but that's technically their choice, doesn't mean it shouldn't work.
The problem they have with linux and macos through crossover, is that these run only when the application is launched and in the userspace, which means they can't basically do jack shit to prevent cheating, that's why they block them from running the game.

>>715252854
nice to know. wonder why it runs though. too small to care? or is the steam deck to big to not care? anyways but it's nice having a game with anticheat run at all desu

>>715231903
Yes I'm sure that the scumpany that has been caught red handed breaking the law multiple times and got caught lying dozens of times had no idea of what they were doing.
Nexon is a vile malicious company.

There's plenty of anticheat protected games that run fine on linux, I'm an mmofag and wow, eso, gw2, ffxiv and fo76 work fine in linux, although ffxiv had lots of bullshit because the launcher is one of the biggest turds known to mankind.
And I've played lots of more anticheat protected online games, ow2, rivals, runescape, brighter shores, the finals work fine under linux too
Don't know about many more since I don't play much pvp games.

>we didn't know you couldn't sollicit reviews despite this not being allowed on any platform.
>we didn't know we had to tell people we were spying on them with our rootkit anticheat, which is one of the most invasive ones on the market
