Definitely Not Legit

I’m not going to actually link their address, because I don’t want to give a sleazy, scummy, thief website any additional traffic. This is just a warning for those creating content in the gaming space. This site scrapes gaming posts from others, uses a cheap AI to reword your articles just by replacing words with synonyms and otherwise reposts their stolen content in its entirety. It’s nasty. It’s not okay. It’s illegal. Unfortunately we don’t have the budget to lawyer up, quite yet. This post is just entirely to warm other gaming blogs and websites about this on the off chance that you know how to limit this sort of theft of your content by sleazeballs. So far they’ve stolen content relating to WoW, Warzone, and other general gaming posts.

Share with other gaming sites you know.

Also, for readers of gaming sites, make sure to avoid them. They are literally committing crimes stealing others content. Do not encourage.

When to Revive?

While this advice will apply to any Battle Royal game with a revive feature, my current perspective is mostly Call of Duty: Warzone. The video in this post poses a question, “Would you leave your boy behind?”. In the comments, nearly every person thinks orange was in the wrong for not reviving, with only one or two disagreeing. The video shows the player crawling for almost a minute in near objective safety, not being chased and with no enemy sound near. So, while most think this example is cut and dry, not every situation is as easy to determine. In this post, we’ll discuss a little about when to go for the res, when to fight, and when to run.
