Kabam - Thirst of Night

Kabam is an online video gaming business. They have a game called Thirst of Night. When you log into the game, the world chat posts a message informing you to respect others, act yourself, etc. But they do no tracking of any kind. There are gamers as young as 12 on Kabam's games. I have actually seen pedophiles soliciting for 13-year-old women. There have actually been gamers that utilize their "virtual might" to dominate chat; anyone that yells even a friendly "hi" gets attacked. There's badgering, harassment, bullying, stalking, violent language, and so on. But worst of all are the "adults" that inform teens to dedicate suicide.

Kabam is unethical; they utilize every technique in the book to daunt teenagers into investing cash. And worst of all, Kabam's games have established a history of being "unstable". When the games are almost unplayable, Kabam solicits even more money from players. Yes, you are motivated to pay money to "beta test" a game that can be broken in a matter of minutes and be unplayable for a week or more. They hide behind a ToS that basically states, "We provide this game 'as is'. It broke? Too bad. You should have understood better. That's exactly what you get for spending cash. And we're not offering your cash back, so there.".








Kabam has also developed a history of "selective bans", suggesting they pick and choose which players are prohibited from game play. We've experienced hackers and cheaters playing Thirst of Night in "god mode"-- able to produce soldiers, know who's online and clean them out, know where players are found in a matter of minutes, develop soldiers with huge speed and amounts of resources. Some of these "god mode" players have been prohibited, while others are still permitted to play. Truthful gamers that don't use hack devices have likewise been prohibited, with no cause offered whatsoever.







Their forum is censored. Their moderators do whatever it requires to hide troubles other players are having with the games. Posters are mocked and pestered. Anybody that openly stands up against Kabam is banned. Now bear in mind, Kabam is based in California. So where's the "freedom of speech"? Nowhere. That's right. Your standard American right, up and violated on the whims of Kabam.

Kabam also motivates theft. Other players call it "farming". But anyone with sound judgment knows that real farmers do their own effort to raise and gather crops. Exactly what Kabam motivates is: you do all the work and another gamer goes along and takes it from you with "force".














If you have kids, keep them far from any of Kabam's games, if you value their security. Do not let other Kabam gamers discriminate versus and harass your kids. Kabam does not produce games that everybody can delight in; they're a hate-factory rather. And do you actually require your children being taught the best ways to hate by a \* gaming company \* and its immoral, dishonest player base?
