How not to let the game die...
Dear Apex Legends Community, In this post i will be addressing the player count falling and how I believe Apex Legends can make a change to bring it up to levels that were not before seen...

I have to back @HappyHourSumwur on this one. The game has a content problem, to be sure, though I would have said that new game types are far more critical than new maps or legends. Imo. But the real problem is a playability problem. It will be fixed when the developer figures out how to consistently and accurately detect cheaters... which will be never. And when they decide to stop players from using secondary accounts... which will also be never.
Legends I don't need more of. There are already too many. Maps... sure, more would be nice, and I'm sure a few more will come out over time. But four or five a season is, at their scale, probably unrealistic. New game types, on the other hand, are coming out fairly often. My personal take is that so far they demonstrate a real lack of imagination. They are almost entirely focused on reducing the scale, time, and complexity of the game when they should be trying to expand options rather than limit them. Again, imo.
But even if they took up your ideas or mine (or both) tomorrow, I'm not sure that would bring a huge return of players. Maybe, but maybe not.
