Gaming Companies Claim Inclusivity But Exclude African Players

Season 5 of Apex Legends started today, and the patch notes are incredibly extensive. We have a new legend , new zones in King's Canyon, balance changes to Legends and weapons, and a brand new PVE game mode known as the Season Quest. There is also a new battle pass, a rotation to supply drops, and the return of one of the best hop-ups. Let's dive


The Triple Take is an interesting sniper rifle that seems useless until it's used by someone very skilled. Scarab's Bite is the Season 5 skin for the Triple Take and it feels like an homage to Widowmaker of Overwatch . Purple and black are the primary colors of the design, which happens to have speckles of red sprinkled throughout. You may not be using this gun much in Season 5 as it isn't a top tier weapon, but it may be neat to roleplay as Widowmaker in the odd chance it's the only gun you h


It's meant to resemble the bloodstains on her eyes when she witnessed her parents being murdered at the hands of Revenant. It's a reminder of her past, while at the same time giving her a spark of flair that makes her stand out even m


His noxious gas can cause confusion and several disrupt your opponent's plans. If you strategize accordingly and the final circle lands on a building, beware. A smart Caustic can cover that building in gas traps and make it impossible for enemy teams to fight unscat


The same goes for Riot Games, Ubisoft, and most other publishers. They've all released statements claiming to support black people and end racism, yet Africa isn't part of their plans and isn't worthy of their services. They may bring up the old argument about a lack of players and lack of infrastructure, but that's simply untrue. Africa has a large, vibrant gaming community who have to suffer from constant connectivity issues to follow their passion. Both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Service also have functioning data centers in Africa to facilitate gaming serv


When the COVID-19 crisis suddenly began ravaging communities around the world, national governments could offer little assurance to anxious citizens. We were lucky if we got anything more than contradictory instructions about masks, some vague instructions for handwashing and orders to "stay ho


Loba happens to carry around a staff with her that has the head of a wolf on it. This was a gift she received from her father, which given her name, was likely the animal he most connected with. Her parents seemed wealthy, which was likely a result of their thieving ways. Her mother seemed to be very loving as she referred to her daughter as "cachorrinha" which translates to "puppy" in Portuguese. It seems her family has always been tied to the wild canines that survived in packs but were also known to thrive as lone hunt

Apex Legends has a whopping 46 servers scattered in 18 places around the world. When broken down by location, North America has 17, South America has five, Western Europe has seven, East Asia has nine, South East Asia has three, Asia Pacific has five, and Africa has a big fat zero. This is how EA is working to fight injustice and discriminat


We don't know much about the Season Quest, but we do know how it starts. As you loot, a small treasure will occasionally pop out of random chests. Players can collect 1 of these treasures every day and it instantly awards XP, Crafting Metals, or Apex Legends weapons packs. Every 5 Treasure Packs you collect will unlock the ability to play the weekly hunt, and new PVE miss


Her anger and malice towards him are ever apparent. Her ultimate is a better version of Lifeline's care package and has moved her as a result down the tier list. Her ability to teleport, as well as seeing high-tier items through walls, will likely have her becoming a fan favor


Sometimes in games, it feels like cosmetic items are universal and meant to work with a variety of characters, and sometimes it feels like they were made for an unnamed perfect pairing. The Gilded Hunt skin for the Charge Rifle definitely feels like the latter as the aesthetics of it magnetize it to the engineering legend, Wattson. The stark white coloring with subtle patterns makes it feel more like a tool and less like a weapon. Considering she dabbles with electricity, maybe the Charge Rifle is Wattson's preferred gun of cho


A new hunt will unlock each week on Tuesday, with 9 in total across the season. That means you'll need to collect 45 Treasure Packs in order to access all 9 Hunts, or in other words, play at least 1 game for 45 days across the sea


Respawn Entertainment is great at representation because they make sure it's clear, but it's never an overt defining characteristic of their legends . Loba happens to be a woman who is bisexual and is attracted to both men and wo


Lifeline is still far and away the best support character in the game as her healing is invaluable. The problem is that Loba was introduced and her Ultimate Ability makes Lifeline look trivial by compari
