  • In this deep-dive, we delve into the ongoing controversy surrounding Snail Games and its CEO, Wang Shi Hai, as they face accusations of game manipulation within the realm of ARK: Survival Evolved. We trace the turbulent history of the infamous TEA tribe, their victories, and their contentious relationship with other tribes and the gaming community. We explore leaked conversations, unexpected server resets, global bans, and the explosive battles that have ignited public attention. We also draw parallels with the notorious EVE Online "T20 Scandal", exploring similarities and differences. Our aim is to shed light on these complex issues, and discuss potential steps that can be taken by gamers to ensure fairness and integrity in the gaming world. Whether you're an ARK player, a gaming enthusiast, or simply interested in the politics and ethics of the gaming industry, this video provides an in-depth examination of a controversy that has sent shockwaves through the gaming community.

    I love ARK to death. I have over 12,000 hours played on official servers (ps4).
    Wildcard and snail games need to go into liquidation aka broke ASAP. They never have and never will show any love or respect for their community. In other words, they don't deserve us.
    Time to find a new home. I will not be returning to the ARK 😢😢😢 💔💔💔

    good stuff as always kona it will be interesting to see what happens after all of this. i think at a minimum they won't be able to pull these moves on Asa. I don't ever think its too late for change. This has been the most aware and mad the community has been at Tea even compared to 2018. and now their stock is public so it hurts them more having all this evidence exposing them and coming up in google searches hits them hard.

    Snail Games has a history of creating half finished games, doing a cash grab for early access, and then abandoning the game. Just look at Dark and Light. They might be doing the same for ASA, except it is worse because they have a community they will force into ASA by shutting down the regular servers.

    The way I see the community can act, it’s via suing wildcards and snail games, need to check the sales terms of ark. Even though I’m sure they made sure they’re protected I still think we can crack it and find ways to report them to the mentioned organizations and to other ones too. I think it will be highly efficient if many TH-camrs suggest and indicate how and where to report the abuse towards the customers, if few big TH-camrs do so a lot of complains will be sent and subsequently we’ll get an response and maybe even some investigations.
    Hopefully you can suggest this in your next video.

      I actually mentioned starting a class action against them for the cheaters running rampant without enforcement when we were battling major cheat users for months. We provided tons and tons of video evidence(aimbotting, meshing, speed hacks,etc) as a very large tribe on the EU crossplay cluster. We were ignored, they refused to even give us proper responses. We had some guys demonstrating the exploits on single player for them, and even sent them secret TH-cam links from the cheat engine developer where he demonstrated the exploits and gave the instructions for use. WC devs would only give blanket response and do absolutely nothing about anything. After that we flooded their forum and discord with the videos and links to evidence. All the links and videos were almost immediately removed, some of us were banned from the forum and discord. I was actually banned from the forum just for mentioning tue class action lawsuit for the developer’s gross negligence and failure to take action.

    Snail games is a literal fucking plague on the gaming community with no respect for any of the players or games. They have one desire and that is to cash grab and abandon the game until the next grab. No company should work with them and let them tank. They add no value except games that have amazing potential that fail not because the game was bad but the developers failed the game. The second you see snail games on a title it's dead on arrival. Too many good games have been destroyed by this predatory company

    I think that this is not so much wildcards fault. Yea they banned players but they did that because SnailGames CEO would probably fire them. It's probably the same with ARK asended, wild card wanted it to be free, but when Snail Games saw that, they changed that. It's honestly sad to see one of the best games ever made to be torn a part by SnailGames.

They didn't know how much of a manchild CEO of SnailGames was, and because he is so delusional he would fire all of them if they even said something. Put your self in their position, you wouldn't want to loose your job, I mean I get your point but they arent going to risk their jobs because of that.

    Snail Games' history is basically cash grab game/early access, followed by abandonment of the game. I'm pretty sure that is what they'll do with Ark and Atlas. Neither game is fun for me after the years of cheating I've seen without any fixes. Either support this behavior with purchases or don't.
