    have an API with zero authentication

    Those ore details you added, not me.

    Well I have bad news for you: there exists literally no evidence of that, because it’s untrue.

      You said that you just “query the server” and get how many people are playing an online game……?

        Yeah, I’m not including a detailed explanation for an idiot who cant read statistics and makes up silly numbers of players with no evidence. You don’t really think you’re worth that kind of time, do you?

          You clearly have no idea how networks and servers work. Someone would have to make an API that responds with the number of active connected users, and leave that open with no authentication, or return it unencrypted for people to snoop on. No one, especially big game developers, are that stupid.

          You don’t know what you’re talking about.
