No its not a problem, it is just weird that it is so extremly disproportionally many filipino players, like 70%, when the game is equally open to every region (i think). Has to be some reason to it?

Most players are probably from helmet heroes, which was also dominated by the Philippines.

I don't know if it's true but I heard they make IRL money from playing games like HH or Eliatopia that's why this type of games are so popular in their region. Maybe it's just a rumor but coke made lotta money on HH. 😲😩

See, this IS an unexplained phenomenon, it always happens, like Gmod is mostly played by Russians, Counter Strike 1.6 by Turks and Poles, League of Legends and Shakes and Fidget by Greeks, PUBG by the Chinese etc etc.
See, it's usually just that games are played by people, those people share it to their friends, said friends to their other friends and so forth and so forth. Sometimes a game just HAPPENS to appeal to a specific group of people because...well, they found out about it in it's infancy and it became a staple of their culture's gaming scene (usually cause for most it's easier to speak in their native language than english). It's not some kind of crypto scheme or any of that weird poop (even if some people do unironically treat coins as crypto lmao), it's just a coincidence that happens, let's not ever ban the pinoys again, they aren't "all hackers", you just see the majority of the playerbase and assume their nationality is the reason they're hacking, even back when I was a kid I could notice that something didn't tick right. Maybe instead of doing that we could focus on not letting people spot, spotting is for degenerates, thanks for listening to my TEDtalk.

Thank you :)

Ppl still rooting for ph to get banned tho when ppl like me exist (im ph lol)
Kinda sucked i didn't get to play hh for about 4 years just because the people here scam and do hacks and poop.
I got through by a vpn tho, but it wasn't really the 4k 60fps hd experience :v
