EA and Respawn, this is a big reason people are angry

So Respawn or EA in the unlikely event that you read this I haven’t spent money on Apex in forever yet have continued to play it. Why? Well you never just sell skins by themselves anymore because you...

I don't want to take anything away from whatever it is that infuriates people about this game. But skins? Cheating is rampant, no one plays on anything but a Smurf account anymore, and matchmaking is edging ever closer to being truly random, streamers and pros, even after five long years, still manage to find ways to make the game even more of a sewer than it already is, but we're upset about the cost of cosmetics that currently have zero gameplay value, and, in another few years when the servers go dark, will have no value of any kind whatsoever?????

    If they want this game to survive, they need to shut down the servers anytime there are hacks detected and cleanse the hackability from the game.
    Eventually everyone will be fed up with the hackers and even the hackers will be fed up with themselves for causing the game to get shut down.
    Once that happens, they'll quit buying hacks.
    Then people will quit making hacks.
    Because the game shutting down to cleanse the hacks will make that market useless.
    And the people using the hacks want to play, not wait eons for respawn to kill their hack and then bring the game back once the hacks are dead again.

      It can't be that easy.

      Can it???

        @reconzero @Zulkiers Let's say the servers keep closing when hacks are detected like how Valorant does it.

        It won't work.

        This is because cheaters will just keep on making new hacks everytime they get detected. This is why we still have a cheating problem in the first place. Even if EA/Respawn was 100% on top of the cheating problem, we would still see cheaters. We'd see a lot less than we currently see now, but we will still see cheaters because cheaters won't stop making new cheats.

        You got to remember that those who make the cheats make bank and I wouldn't be surprised if they make more than EA, Epic Games, Blizzard, etc. combined.

        @WTF_Huitzo We can still play on their servers, its just that no one in their right mind would. I tried playing on it a few times when ques in my region were slow, and I only saw bots or cheaters. None of the players I've had as teammates or as randoms were legit players.

        It was either someone standing still, punching the air or wall, someone moving like a clueless bot, or someone with cheats cranked up to what I'd like to call "yes please++". AKA, they were hacking so much, it was impossible to not notice them cheating. I saw the same player in the kill feed killing 20+ players. Granted most of the "players" were bots.

    @reconzero It's more the fact that it seems like all they do is shovel out $$$ skins/cosmetics and don't do anything but swim in their Olympic sized pools full of the money they make from all the people who buy it... I've also vented about how they need to do more, especially when they clearly have the money to do something, but servers are still the worst in the universe, cheating/hacking is still rampant, game is still a mess thanks to poor matchmaking/bugs/glitches/other problems that have never been tackled... You get the idea...
