Re: Do any of y’all agree it’s kinda gross that respawn abandoned Titanfall2

I mean I was playing TF2 still shortly before and there seemed to be about 10k players on at any given time.

So yeah....as much as I love the game that probably wasn't enough players to justify the maintenance it (kinda) got.

    Titanfall 2 is better than Apex in nearly every metric for me. 

    I attribute the success of Apex mainly due to being ok rather than good or great, but combining being just ok with the pigeon freemium marketing, where people can’t stop themselves from buying just a skin for a character with the money of an entire, and maybe actually good, video game.

    Good news is, as mentioned, you don’t have to spend money on Apex.  I did a bit fir that initial BP and a thing or two , but now I roll my ‘coins’ from season to season. I didn’t even trigger my bp for this season until I got to level 110

    The industry knows how to take advantage of weakness in people’s purchasing.  They actually could do the same thing with Titanfall but the other component is that Titanfall takes more work and who wants to do more work? :P

    @seasickpants999 like @Cheese9Man stated it is EA at fault.  They are the publisher, just like when an author writes a good book, it is up to the publisher what gets attention.  I am certain there are tons of Respawn employees who would love to see the complete Titanfall series active.  However they are not about to come here and admit it and risk losing their job.

    If the server is up and running, it isn't abandoned.  Also it appears the servers swelled back in September with a 215% increase in players.  There must have been something major to cause that big spike. I could show you some other games that only wish they had Titanfall 2's numbers.

    Keep fighting the power.

    There is this from a leaker who has been extremely on point so far.

    Is Moy Parra the only developer at Respawn who was part of the TF2 team?

    It's the entire BR genre, it took over, and Respawn realized they needed to jump over to making a BR or would make far, far, far less money. What, you think they would rather appease TF fans instead of make millions of dollars?
