"skilled players get paired with low-skilled players to encourage low-skilled players to spend more money to get better in-game items"

"if your stats say you use snipers a lot, they will be less prominent in Supply Drops to encourage you to buy more"

"Furthermore, the patent describes that Activision coulduse the matchmaking data to encourage players to buy specific items they want, for example a sniper rifle."

Not they do, they will etc... they could, in theory, but to what extent they'll actually abuse this. Don't buy it if you don't think they have any integrity, I'm thinking they won't fuck this up that much.


Also, you don't have to buy anything if you've got some willpower. There's also always that thing you can do to avoid all of this, git gud.

Omfg, they have software that "COULD" impact bad/stupid people with no self control and no skill. Why do you care? It doesn't impact you, anyone with thumbs, or anyone with a brain. If you don't want to be targeted by these people, don't be a bad kid, because they know that baddies are the idiots who also spend cash to try and get better.
