But there is officially documented evidence that sheds reasonable doubt on the subject. Enough to beckon an official statement from Activision. There is nothing yet on record that plausibly denies any rigging by endorsement level.
One can reasonably assume that if it’s already developed or cheap to procure, and augments engagement → retention → monetization, they will be actively implementing it. That’s the Occam assumption here. The conspiracy is that they would somehow NOT pump their code full of fakeness when the entire live-service is an in-game gatcha.
See for example:
Which matchmake in a forced way (i.e. cherry picking the selection and the odds i.e. rigging), based on player inclusion using hidden “likeability” scores and “diversity” scores for each team. They are in Tier1 active use (i.e. they make money on them, not just holding the IP), and even feature a picture planning to use them in Overwatch.
All the more reason to demand a full transparent audit of their matchmaking code.
Fair unrigged algorithms aren’t something you can patent. They’re not something you need to keep secret to defend from competitors. They’re not novel. They don’t bug out. They’re simple to explain, and they assure trust. There is no need to obfuscate and hide anything if it’s real and legit.
Show us the code or stay illegally rigged.
