Netease is a Chinese company and some people don’t like that. They have also been known to make scummy, cash grab, micro transaction riddled games and are disliked for this.
It’s not that they are “a Chineese” company, it is that they have issues that are repeated in every game they have and it turns into a privacy / morality nightmare.
I.e. chat is censored, so cannot type “free Taiwan”. Also the game is catered to casual players. This led them to add bots to PvP matches - where every 2 losses you get put into an unskippable bot match, where you stomp the other team. This is to make you keep playing and not get discouraged. But once you know about it, it’s just a 15 min pity waste of time you could spend actually playing the game.
It’s not that they’re a Chinese company in and of itself it’s simply that every Chinese company that has ever been involved in technology, see Eufy, always turns out to be a scam / privacy invasion nightmare.
You know all those IP cameras that no one ever encrypts, and you can easily find with a Google search, akso sometimes you can even control them. Well, that’s what your doorbell is.
Given the fact that some people put cameras up in their bedrooms this is a major problem and almost certainly has led to blackmail, but we won’t find out about that obviously because you don’t admit that you’ve been blackmailed otherwise it defeats the purpose of paying them off.
I still don’t know what type of game Rivals is
Turns out I also don’t care
Care to explain what’s wrong with it?
I’m not the person you replied to.

Damn it. What happened with Eufy? I like my doorbell.
