"Apex is a game of its own"
NO!
Apex Legends is based around 2 titles and one game mode. The game mode is called Battle Royale (BR). Respawn copied that from Brendan Greene. Brendan Greene got the idea from the movie Battle Royale 2000. Saying Apex Legends is unique while it copies BR and FPSs would be an overstatement.

"Rule 1 of gaming industry following what other companies do is a failure of a company."
First rule in any company should be to be profitable, always. Also game companies follow each other all the time. There's an 80% chance a US based video game company will make a FPS, why? Most people in the US play first person shooters. Companies copy ideas all the time. I'm not saying Respawn didn't have "original " ideas.

I will say that some companies have more freedom to chase new ideas, some just dont' have that power. Big companies mostly all follow trends, why? It pays the bills. That's why it took someone like Brendan Greene to use the idea from the movie Battle Royale and create a game around it. Then once the big comapnies started to take notice, bam, everyone starts making BRs. Big companies can't risk failure on some crazy out there idea, Too many risks involved.

Some do gain the ability to do it, but not many. That's why COD is mostly still the same game from the last one, Halo hasn't really changed over the years, Assassin's Creed, Forza, Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, FIFA, Madden, Gears of War. Now that I think of it, I can't remember a title changing that much ever in my gaming years.

"This means they had zero original ideas."
Not at all, I'm saying that one idea from something else led to the idea of Apex Legends, nothing more. I'm saying that something sparked the idea. Someone didn't just wake up and say "Apex Legends".

I get it, You like Apex Legends, But at the end of the day you shouldn't worry. Most game comapnies don't change too much that quickly, they make a new one around it if they need to.

It's why Apex Legends wasn't called Titanfall 3, that way people don't expect everything from Titanfall and/ or how it feels.

I will say, They might try and make people stay in game longer. That could be less loading to more spawning, you never know. You always want your community to be using your product.
