Gaming Companies Claim Inclusivity But Exclude African Players

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


Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game that had a pretty strong launch but fell from grace shortly after due to it being slightly too niche. However, it has maintained a pretty loyal fanbase and has stayed fairly consistent in terms of gameplay. The Apex Legends Battle Pass is 950 Apex Coins, or roughly $10, and the rewards are worth more than that monetarily. However, the character skins that can be obtained through the battle pass are a bit lackluster, and have been for some time now. The best skins for characters can be found in the item shop and can be purchased with real money, or can be obtained through opening Apex Legends Bunny Hop Packs, which also cost real money, or can be obtained through grinding lev


Is it worth $10? Absolutely. The most recent battle pass included 6 new exclusive skins each with its own additional unlockable styles, and most have their own pickaxes and back bling, on top of a handful of emotes, loading screens, and player icons. If Fortnite does one thing right it is its cosmetics. The battle pass offers players a plethora of items to unlock that are each unique and worth the grind and the extra challenges extend the life of the game and give players a reason to hop back in every w


Loba is voiced by a woman named Fryda Wolff, who's been an active actor and performer since 2003. Her name might not sound familiar, but in recent years she's landed some big roles in the video game space. She not only voiced Sara Ryder, the lead female protagonist in Mass Effect: Andromeda , but she also happened to voice one of the eight major characters featured in Square Enix's Octopath Traveler , Tressa Colzione. One listen to any of Loba's numerous quips with show you just how talented she is at bringing her to life in a real

PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUNDS is another battle royale which can't go without being mentioned. While it wasn't the first to adopt the battle pass system, it was one of the first battle royale games and the one that many would attribute the popularity of the genre to. PUBG did eventually adopt the battle pass mode of play, but it's first few launches were a bit mediocre. However, the most recent " Survivor Pass " has been the most advantageous so


Respawn Entertainment has done a good job of keeping the game interesting and even added to a brand new legend named Loba. With all of the recent changes, players are wondering which legends they should use in Seaso


Her anger and malice towards him are ever apparent. Her ultimate is a better version of Lifeline's care package and has moved her as a result down the tier list. Her ability to teleport, as well as seeing high-tier items through walls, will likely have her becoming a fan favor


People assume her Ultimate Ability should be used with damage in mind, but the best players understand its limits and will use it strategically as a way to zone other teams and force them into action. Use it as a tenderizer before you launch a full-on assa


Mirage may present himself as a bumbling idiot, but much like Marvel's Deadpool, he's much more capable in battle than he gives off. Some legends like Pathfinder were weakened with the Season 5 update, but Mirage was one of the lucky ones who had an ability overhaul for the bet

Loba may seem like a hateful and vengeful person, but those feelings only seem to mostly extend to anything related to robotics. When it comes to humans and animals Loba likes and cares deeply about them. She's especially caring and protective of animals because she knows they have no ulterior motives. Her name being that of a she-wolf helps tie that connection even further as she, like a stray cat or dog, feels abandoned and left to fend for herself. Maybe she'll get a pet wolf by her side . Wouldn't that be interest


The largest black community lives in Africa and has a long history of being treated as second-class, whether it's colonialism, the slave trade, or gaining access to world-class events. The stereotype of Africa being poor, dirty, and underdeveloped is still strong up to this day with no sign of change on the horizon. Yes, some places are less developed, but in the last few decades, the continent has made massive strides in terms of technology and has seen incredible growth. Despite all the progress, most video game publishers don't have a single server on the continent, and exclude Africa from their events complet
