Liked the idea of this SDK for our app then after reading about all these peoples' complaints about how sketchy the company is, that's gonna be a no from me, dog.

@thatmattgardner Good choice Matt, I'm pleased that a lot of us were able to come together to shine a light on the Q and Jamieson's shady activities, as well as stop possible clients from damaging their reputation by working with The Q.

Hey Product Hunt, please meet The Q's live gaming SDK! The Q's SDK enables developers to add live games to their app and customize experiences directly for their audiences.

@_liso_ Thank you so much for hunting us. Very excited to officially launch our SDK to the public to bring live interactive experiences to publishers and brands owned and operated properties across the world. This functionality has been the #1 request from brands and media orgs we have worked with this past year. Endless hours of hard work have been put into this by our engineering team and can’t wait to keep innovating in the space of interactive entertainment!

@_liso_ @willjamieson93 Does your SDK contain functionality for staging a TOS violation so you can illegitimately withhold money from your legitimate winners like your app does?

This is awesome - love the SDK twist! Can't wait to see more companies use The Q.
Jon Cappetta
love this!
Roman Khaves
This is brilliant! Lets any media company run live gameshows without building out their own video tech stack. Excited to see everyone using this.

Long time player of the q and super in love with this sdk

Pros:

Super excited about the potential

Cons:

Im too addicted to the game

Allen Loh
this is brilliant, essentially it renders any other trivia app useless because it allows any platform to utilize its unique ecosystem and pair it with this particular form of entertainment, and they also offer different types of trivia games that are way more fun and creative than other trivia apps like HQ

I'd collected about $150 in prizing and had around $700 coming in a couple of days from leaderboard prizes. I was cynically banned without evidence and have received no communication from these charlatans at all.

Pros:

Easy to win

Cons:

Bans players without evidence or reason when they have won or are about to win sizeable prizes.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am glad others are speaking out about this. They are very good at ignoring their players when it comes to claiming prize money.

I know of a few people who were not paid their leaderboard winnings and I was not paid my trivia winnings

Lewis was a known cheater and violator of our TOS. It’s unfortunate users try to “game” the system and ruin the experience for those that play fairly. We have invested a lot of time and built tools to automate bot and other malicious behavior detection among users of our platform and those tools are available to all of our SDK and global partners!

@willjamieson93 It's funny how everyone who wins big is a cheater. Are you saying your intended audience is idiots? If you're smart and win you're cheating?
dev null
@willjamieson93 Also, seeing how well your other tech works (see: your T-Mobile game crashing) I am suspect that your "malicious behavior detection" works properly at all.
tyler
They ignore everyone who is asking about being paid out and then they block you on Twitter. Maybe they will care to discuss this major issue here? Probably not.
tyler

Play this to waste your time, I guess.

Pros:

None

Cons:

They don’t pay out. Won on leaderboard twice and never received prizes. Been waiting almost two months for cash out in trivia winnings.

I enjoy playing the live games and the chance to win money.

Pros:

Fun to play

Cons:

Less glitches would be nice.

They will ignore your cashout requests and all attempts at contact until they eventually say you were "banned for breaking their TOS." I was told that and my account wasn't even banned. It's their canned reply to someone asking about their money. There are tons of reports of it all over the Internet. Avoid this game unless you want to play trivia for nothing.

Pros:

Jmo hosting drunk is funny

Cons:

The Q does not pay their winners.

Matt Kamrath

the q doesn't pay.

Pros:

poppy is a queen

Cons:

the ceo who is active on this page offers unjustly banned players the chance to cash out if they give him other people to ban.

Matt Kamrath
CEO is scummy and extorts people https://www.reddit.com/r/TriviaA...

On Tuesday and Thursdays their game is really easy to win because it’s about celebrity’s,tv shows,movies,and music

Pros:

It’s really fun to play and it’s not that hard to win

Cons:

They don’t give out that much money

QLive DOES NOT pay, I emailed them about this and they said I live outside the UK. Yes I travel between the US and UK for work all the time. This is normal. I then requested my data and found out that they felt like they had to go stalk my twitter page to find out more information about me. Luckily I am a private person, but this is very concerning for a company to do. They should not be trusted. Now on their US version of the game they are offering 3 lives for good reviews on Product Hunt, this is illegal. Hopefully this game gets taken off the app store. Very sketchy.

Pros:

Fun to play with friends

Cons:

They lie and ban players
