Will Anything Be Done About Snail Games? - According to History

snail games and its CEO have been accused of game manipulation once again in a controversy that spans years thousands of players and a suppressed publisher I'll be examining the controversy once again but if you'd like an in-depth analysis on the entire history of snail games and Wing XI hi its CEO watch my video on the subject ta is an Infamous tribe that resides within ark's official Conquest servers where rates are boosted server and tribe caps are larger and where the only goal is Conquest these spaces are meant for players looking for the most competitive experience the game has to offer so obviously the stakes are very high entire communities populate single tribes and battle endlessly in a constant power struggle previous viewers will remember my interviews with PVP players and the cheats that run rampant deeply influencing the landscape while cheats are a regular subject in the Competitive Gaming sphere Arc has always had a specific flavor to it and the tea is steaming in 2016 on April 10th tea is formed and they start playing on PC servers in 2017 on June 20th tea expands to Xbox servers on August 29th they expand to PlayStation servers October 1st an unknown tribe attacks Tea's main base but is repelled in 2018 on January 15th tea becomes Infamous for explaining glitches in Ark survival evolved on June 20th ta is temporarily banned from Arc due to exploiting game glitches on July 15th they are unbanned from Arc and return to play on December 10th another major battle occurs between tea and an unknown tribe resulting in Tea's victory in 2019 on June 15th tea wins the first official Ark survival evolved tournament and then on September 20th they form an alliance with the bldx tribe December 15th tea and bldx dominate the second official Ark survival

tournament in 2022 on April 15th teabldx disbands and then May 15th former members of teabldx forms the new tea tribe on December 10th the new tea tribe wins the sixth official Ark survival evolved tournament in January of 2023 a YouTube account by the name of Wilfred adventula appeared releasing a series of videos including leaked DMS and voice messages between snail games CEO Wing Shi Hai and employees these leaks centered around she's constant demands for spawns and cheats throughout the years in an escalating series of events the island boys tribe a group of hundreds with respected Arc YouTubers among them launched an attack against tea on a server supposedly run by them as the island boys started gaining the upper hand the server was suspiciously reset multiple times to a point before tea started losing this pattern repeated several times leading to speculations that tea was manipulating the game through admin privileges real time the controversy reached a boiling point when the island boys decided to mobilize their forces for an all-out attack against tea however just as the island boys were on the brink of Victory their entire tribe was hit with a global ban the entire event was captured live on multiple twitch streams and ignited Community attention on Twitter by the way follow my Twitter wildcard released their veil of a response to the conquest bands in their most recent Community crunch which also included a handful of updated assets for as say which I might remind you is three months from scheduled release and we've seen five whole assets but that's besides the point if you know of an exploit on official servers be sure to check out our Bounty thread we provide bounties for anyone who can report hacks or exploits of any kind except not really that can have a serious impact on gameplay or server stability on our official online servers we've rewarded players with over 50k we'll see how this affects things I mean the bounty system isn't new wildcard is just reminding us it exists nothing seems to be changing really in my opinion it's just more I'm sorry but it's classic Wild Card they've already had this evidence for years and thousands of individual cases leading back to tea and above something could have been done a long time ago and it's probably too late by now I'd like to compare the snail games controversy with another similar event the t2o Scandal is a significant event in the history of Eve online developed by CCP games Eve online is renowned for its complex economy politics and warfare largely determined by player actions in this game World alliances of player corporations often Vie for control over resources and territory particularly in the player-controlled null sex space t2o a developer for Eve online was concurrently an active member of a dominant player Alliance The Band of Brothers this dual role paved the way for a significant conflict of interest the Scandal broke out when a player named kagutsamin hacked into Bob's private forum and found evidence suggesting that t2o was using his developer access to spawn and distribute rare and valuable items throughout his Alliance the revelation of this Scandal caused a significant upheaval within the Eve online community many players were outraged at the potential for a developer to exploit his position in such a way that could significantly influence the game's balance and economy calls for severe punishment for t2o and for CCP games to put measures in place to prevent such abuse in the future were widespread in response to the controversy CCP games immediately conducted an internal investigation which confirmed that t2o had indeed spawned and handed out several high-tier items t2o was subsequently reprimanded and stripped of any roles that could directly influence the game he later left CCP games CCP also took steps to prevent similar incidents in the future by implementing stricter controls over their employees and game activities they established the Council of Stellar management a player-elected body intended to provide oversight of developer power and act as a liaison between the player base and CCP games both the snail games controversy and the Eve online t2o Scandal involves allegations of unfair advantage and manipulation within the game by individuals who had ties to the game's Developers these are serious issues within the Gaming Community as they potentially undermine the Integrity of the game the Level Playing Field and Trust in the developers both controversies involved a potential conflict of interest t2o being an active player and developer and snail game CEO allegedly having a position within the tea tribe which both incidents triggered significant backlash from the respective gaming communities leading to demands for transparency fairness and changes in developer policy the most significant difference lies in the response of the game developers to their respective controversies CCP games in the wake of the t2o Scandal conducted an internal investigation confirmed the allegations reprimanded the involved developer and implemented measures to prevent similar incidents in the future including establishing the Council of Stellar management and on the other hand any response to the years of accusation against wild card and snail games has been unclear in the Eve online Scandal the advantage was the spawning and distribution of rare items in Arc the alleged unfair Advantage was much more complex involving server resets Global bands cheats and aggressive employer conduct in the t2o Scandal evidence came in the form of hacked forms and showed t2o's misconduct CCP games also admitted to the malpractice after an internal investigation in contrast the snail games controversy seems to be mostly based on leaked DMS voice messages and the suspicious in-game events involving tea tribe with no definitive response from snail games or wild card so what can be done about snow games in Wing shihai not much the truth is forced action against the CEO of a game's publisher takes years and buckets of money the fate of Arc and wild card will most likely have been decided in a court of public opinion by then what we can do is influence decisions kept far above our heads you can report Arc to the platform you purchased it from make sure to mention snail games and accusations of cheating we can flood the Bounty thread with snail games accusations report Arc and its publisher to the FTC ESRB or FCC you can find links below if you have any connection to tea or snail games I want to talk to you I'm building a picture of how things operate but have to ensure I have valid information email me at konowyt contact gmail.com please remember that developers and Publishers are very different entities and wildcard has limited freedoms based on its contractual obligations to snail games spreading hate to the individuals that bring you the game is not the way to solve this
