The EU Consumer Protection Cooperation Network has initiated coordinated actions against ten major game publishers.
The live-ops cycle of mobile games: the event, the banner and the code that expire this week. Games holds the titles, Events the running events, Codes the redemption codes as they are published, Guias the reported strategies, and Devices and data the device and data side.
They work for as long as the publisher leaves them live, which is often days rather than weeks. Every code is credited to the announcement or publication it came from and carries the date it was reported, so an old piece is likely to be a dead code.
From developer and publisher announcements, in-game notices and named gaming publications, summarised with the source credited and linked. Nothing is tested in-game here and no source text is republished verbatim.
No. Nothing is sold, no seller is recommended and there are no affiliate links, and it has no relationship with any publisher. Anything asking you to pay outside the game is not connected to this site.
Nobody by name. Each is written with automated assistance from the source material, and the publication or developer notice behind it is credited in place of an author.
Constantly, because live-ops calendars move daily. Noticias is a rolling feed rather than a daily edition, and event pieces age out quickly by design.
