<br>Let's take Apex Legends as an example. EA released a statement saying, " We’re contributing $1 million to organizations dedicated to the fight for racial justice in the U.S. and against discrimination around the world." They go on to say, "Beginning with the Equal Justice Initiative, the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, and with more partners to come, we are deepening our support of organizations working to stop systemic racial injustice, fight discrimination and protect human rights in the U.S. and beyo<br> <br>Though not as hot as it once was, The Cage will frequently set players up for a fight or two.

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<br><br> <br>It should come as no surprise that Loba has a hard time interacting with robots and finds them offputting. Even someone as gentle and kind as Pathfinder feels the wrath of Loba's disdain. When something as traumatic as what she witnessed at a young age happens, it can leave emotional scars that are almost impossible to erase. There may come a day where Loba's hate for robots, in general, dies down, but don't ever expect her to forgive Revenant for what he did to her and her parents on that fateful <br><br> <br>The tragic death of George Floyd has ignited a movement to end racism and promote inclusivity. Companies that previously sat on the fence have been forced to take action and prove they are progressive and are moving with the times. Over the last few weeks, there has been an unprecedented show of support for the black community, with most publishers releasing statements condemning racism and taking action to ensure inclusivity and equality. Many popular games even have "Black Lives Matter" banners to affirm this stance. Something these companies are conveniently forgetting is that ALL black lives matter, not just American black li<br><br> <br>When <a href="https://Apexlegendsfans.com/articles/whispers-of-the-outlands-apex-legends-april-balance-symphony.html">Apex legends balance changes</a> Legends first came out, Bunker was a popular spot for Caustic players as he could set his traps and make it difficult for non-Caustics to survive the drop. But now, as more people are playing Caustic, it’s less than ideal as a drop location. It typically doesn’t have a lot of loot and the narrow hallway makes players susceptible to grenade s<br><br> <br>The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin<br><br> <br>Quite frankly, I think it's disgusting that these publishers have the nerve to put Black Lives Matter banners on their games when most black people aren't allowed to play them without issues. To me, it's the modern-day equivalent of a "No Africans Allowed" sign. African gamers aren't asking for special treatment, We just want to be treated the same as everybody e<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>By many accounts, these teams are working harder than ever. Workers in the gaming industry had to rapidly adapt to the challenges of remote work. Many of these studio employees have children, which means they had to rearrange their own lives to care for their children and support them through remote learning. Though many workers may relish being able to work in their pajama pants, they're facing innate challenges without the interpersonal aspects of working together at a stu<br> <br>So it’s perhaps but a small gesture that we should take moment to show thanks to these people who provide an integral, role in our daily lives. Thanks so much to each and every developer and development team member who continues to work hard amid a crisis. I hope that you do so with the understanding that you’re improving the lives of millions of people who would be lost with video games and the communities these games insp<br>
