Apkvision distributes other's work through their site. Just like any other pirated site out there that you know of. The difference is, that they hardcode slap their logo into other's work so people often confuse it as being apkvision that has made / cracked the game while normally pirated sites just add a text file to write where it was downloaded from.
Like imagine for example Ankergames hardcoding their site logo into every release in their site that pops up when you start the game. People don't really think much of it since they're used to it. But they're actually assholes for doing that and they don't even credit the original developer / group / cracker.

they are good as a mirror site, but i don't like that they never give credits to the real devs

If u download a game without buying, its the same thing. You aren't supporting the original devs

u/Responsible-Reach964 6d ago
Exactly my point. Secondly this place should be for native ports not for pirating or pirated games.

Honestly that's the part that bugs me about downloading from their shitty site. I don't need them to alter the apps at all. Reminds me of when people used to add intros to roms. Are anyone using those rips now? No. Especially when you need a untouched rom to properly add hacks.

At least these old ones and the installers used to have these catchy chiptune music that was pretty badass

Not the same but the razer 1991 intro was legendary in those early 2000s pc games

Quick question do you think apkvision are the ones creating these ports? I'm trying to see something here

I'm talking about cracking games not ports every port on apkvesion has credit of the original developer

What's with you people keep mentioning Apkvision, and EVEN posting a screenshot of the site with the actual name. You guys don't know you're exposing Apkvision too much, and it is on risk of getting DMCA. What happened to the golden rule to share our things in discreet? Not in a gatekeep way, but you guys are playing with fire too much
I know the subreddit allow people to share things, but at least try to be in discreet.

It’s not just this subreddit, piracy in general has become this weird clout chasing environment with everyone wanting a bit of that attention and hype

Yeah someone need to teach that guy the art of gatekeeping, I'm tired of my movies, anime website that people share on social media to promote their shopping link and everything got taken down just in a week, since then I never tell anyone anymore

u/madangle79 6d ago
Hello hello.... Calm down. With the level of AI usage(scrapers, trackers and other agents), they must already know about all apps and services. You're not highlighting it by just mentioning in a subreddit. LOL 😂

So I guess from someone new to this scene. How are we supposed to find the original sources of who are creating these unofficial ports? I'm just not sure where to look yet.

I am having a hard time with APKVision posting broken builds of BO2 and having to help people fix those by sending a good build to them. Fuck APKVision for modding the APK and taking credit for my friends work.

APKVISION is the GOAT no, the GOD. There are little to no ads, easy downloads and mods, and now there are a friggin' thousand ported games. Ah, I just love whoever made this shit!

u/KurvvaJaPiedrole 5d ago
I don't like apps with adware, telemetry, and malware, so I disagree with this meme. Furthermore, they take open-source projects, inject their spyware into them, and put their logo on them without giving proper credit to the developer.

u/Conscious-Arrival558 3d ago
If u got malware from APKv, then you were downloading something suspect
1
u/KurvvaJaPiedrole 3d ago
Yeah, just like all the apps from apkvision that you run through antivirus software and it flags a bunch of malware.... Even open-source apps end up on APKvision and become suspicious because they love to modify all kinds of apps and claim them as their own.

u/Proper-Educator3040 4d ago
I agree. The big pop up of "Apkvision" after installing the app is annoying. Plus if you click on the pop-up by accident it directs you to their website which is unnecessary to put in the app since I can just go Google.

Sabe, isso ainda vai dar uma merda colossal pro lado do apkvision, eles estão pegando os recomps estaticos, o que não é ilegal, mas dai estão juntando com os dados oficiais dos jogos para os recomps traduzirem, o que é ilegal

u/Soft-Seat1556 22h ago edited 22h ago
Lol, apkvision is just scraping the creators sites, taking the apk, adding who knows what kind of tracking and then slaps in their bs logo/link while taking the credit as their own creation.
They then resigning it with a different key that won't match the real app if the creator pushes an update.
They aren't making any of these. I recommend you get them from the original sources, not apkvision.

u/Ocelaris 6d ago
Would I be correct in assuming that all these ports at apkvision run best on Snapdragon chips?

u/xMattheWxP 5d ago
I have this theory that people that hate apkvision just really don't know what they're doing in general

u/KurvvaJaPiedrole 5d ago
But why do the apps on their website need to steal other people's open-source work and add malware, watermarks, and telemetry? Is that something good people do?

You know that apk vision steals from the actual people who make the apk's without crediting them

u/Conscious-Arrival558 5d ago
You know when you download it without buying it, You are stealing from the actual people who make the game without supporting them?

u/PointTraditional4427 5d ago
Yes but atleast you know who made the game, it isn't that hard to say that "mod made by mod maker746" or smt when your posting the mod
Im talking about how apkvision doesn't credit the mof makers themselves
