My god CG is a joke. This guy literally gives them FREE publicity and this is what you guys do. Literally the devs or whoever is in charge have got to be the dumbest people in the gaming community. What a shame
To be fair, he makes money off the videos. He isn't exactly doing it for free either.
He makes money, yeah, but he started playing the game for entertainment. He never asked for donations
To confirm, they didn’t ban HIS account, his 6mil odd one is strill there. They banned an account he was given by someone who had whaled and wanted to leave the game which he then shared with this guy.
CG has lost my wallet. This is equivocal to a ban on free speech in my humble opinion. While there may have been a technical violation of terms of service, there was never any malicious or negative intent. CG can choose to enforce or allow. I would argue it is in their best interest to allow content creators to draw people to their product. They turn a blind eye to all of the cheaters and people who do have ill intent. To CG I say look at THE SPIRIT of the terms and apply common sense application. Lets be real, the ban on Ahnaldt is solely because they have thin skin when he provides extremely MILD criticisms. Well CG lost about $3,000/yr from me, I will not spend a penny until a formal apology and re-instatement is issued. I would have expected more. This is very disappointing.
This has shown how the Devs made their punishment system over a lunch break smh. I don’t know if Ahnald is clickbaiting or not but the system needs to be clearer to the community.
Please explain why LD is negotiating with Cheaters and yet you are banning #1 content creator for using another account he acquired?
This studio is dead and I will never support any future projects. I will now be an advocate to bring this studio down. P.s the road ahead content better be great otherwise I'm walking away from this game.
Ill play devils advocate here. I do watch Ahanld videos and do fine him entertaining but I understand he's an entertainer. He makes money off these videos. He got a very high level account for free, got it banned and made video about it. The email he showed didn't say what the ban was for just that it will be a week. The texts could be just talk. I don't really find the situation myself one to riot over. Not going to quit or anything like that.. Regardless though he does bring free publicity to the game good and bad. For cheating thats rampant in every online game. I can't find a single online game i haven't played where there was no hacker. Its extremely hard to curb it completely in games
I think the account ban is the smaller issue in here,if that cheater conversation is legit i'm speechless,letting cheaters back just because they spent money or what not,why even bother tracking them down and do anti cheating filters? And on top of that they let him choose the time when the ban will be in place?I really hope that is fake,but if it is not we should ask ourselves if this is the game we want to play.
I'm going to take a little different approach to this and maybe it will make some impact in a way that E.A. and Capital Games can understand.
I'm mainly a MSF player and I started seeing some Grand Arena streams from MobileGamer. Because of that I downloaded the game. I was just messing around and MG put a video about the HyperDrive bundle, as did AHNALD. Without those I would never have purchased it.
After I purchased it, I was mainly just messing around but I ran across a video from AHNALD where he showed how you could with some investment quickly get JKR.
Basically without the content creators, I would never have spent around $500 on this game. The game isn't worth that kind of money. I enjoy the content more than I enjoy the game. If you abuse the content creators over account sharing when you decided to get rid of the test accounts, you begin to make me question if I will ever spend another dollar on this game. I can certainly spend my money on other things. I also got another friend to start playing.
If MG and AHNALD quit playing this game, I probably wouldn't be too far behind.
While I'm one person, I'm sure that others have spent a decent amount of money because of watching their content. You have to ask yourself if what you doing is worth it. Seems like a war not worth fighting.
Banning an account for account sharing when the content creator spends hundreds of dollars on new characters (and other things) on that and other accounts is pretty short sighted and fiscally irresponsible. These content creators are promoting your game. Despite any criticism they still play and thus I still play.
The most recent example is the TieBomber. If I didn't see what it could do from a stream by ahhald I would never had done the Galactic Chase and unlocked it. That's a lot of crystals I used from refreshes, which I didn't get from being FTP.
I strongly encourage anyone outraged by the recent behaviour of Capital Games, to reach out to the support team at EA themselves regarding the allegations made towards CG. I cannot see Capital Games doing something about this unless a full investigation is conducted by EA into the mismanagement of the Star Wars I.P and the mismanagement of EA's cheating policies under Capital Games.

That’s the thing, you don’t own what you’ve spent thousands of dollars on. The mobile gaming industry needs to be regulated, it’s way overdue.
Found the classic CG apologist. Any opinions on the cheater who is able to bargain with CG's devs to get a reduced punishment while this garbage is happening?
I play this game BECAUSE of content creators, who need multiple accounts to illustrate a variety of scenarios, gear levels, mods, matchups, etc. I spent money on this game for a long time because of how fun they make it and because I liked the game, often after watching an Ahnald video and wanting what he showed on screen. CG has sent a clear message they don’t understand or appreciate how much income swgoh is making from the content creators and from collaborative community interactions.
I propose a full stop to spending money on this game until CG changes their approach of this last year and/or changes their staff. CG needs to feel the pain.

The bigger the thread, the more the CG Defense Force stands strong...
As title says.. look how many accounts have same IP address and see how much income you get as you use the ban hammer on all.. then try and figure out how many diff phones in same house on same router.. you guys are **** trying to ban the top guy promoting your game..
Absolute disgrace. Capital Games are a joke, **** poor development and can’t take any criticism. I’m not spending another penny on the game (I spend a lot) until they apologise to Ahnald and give him back his account

Thought if it's your 1st theme like this - you'll be warned of ban.
Yeah. People love defending those who they love. Natural.

CG doesnt like the truth told. thats why they shut down test accounts, which now Ahnald has a whale account to tell same thing.. Game is ****...
