RE: Non-Assortative User Matching For Profit And Anti-Fun – Activision Patents Matching Players For Curbstompings In Cynical Cash-Grab
Not only is it a shitty idea....but who grants a patent on this? Seriously, is this what passes for innovation and intellectual property these days?
I do enjoy Overwatch but the second it becomes "pay to win" with any kind of advantage gained from payment I'll be dropping it like a stone. I was always a bit of a Blizzard fanboy in my younger years....
"...I used to sell WoW accounts on Ebay while playing poker"
Sounds like you had a good little side-hussle going there for a while :)

I stopped asking these kind of questions of the legal system some time ago.

I did, but these things tend to have very limited windows of profitability before they get automated or arbitraged away rapidly...
