Player count dropped hard?!
Something very odd happened a few days ago the player count for apex seemed to take a very hard hit according to Steam charts it went down by over 50% something I think never happened before seemed ...

Sadly, our favorite game is dying. And not because of the community criticism or pro players not saying what's wrong with the game, but for the absurd decisions made to gameplay and legends while all known issues of the game weren't taken care of.
We have new menues nobody asked, new useless legends nobody asked, the best ever legends nerfed down until they became unplayable (like wraith and path), a free wallhack overpowered legend nobody asked ruing every aspect of a battleroyale gameplay (which is meant to survive, not frag like CS, COD or Battlefield), and they keep going... But actual fixes to important and unconceivable issues on an "e-sport game"? No, that's not important.
I truely hope EA and Respawn could react and do something
@RayleenKovacsThey even added stickers, and its 300 Apex Coins for 1, and there's 20 stickers to collect. While you get 2 for free, that doesn't mean much. Its a cash grab, is what it is.
300 AC x 20 Stickers = 6,000 AC = $50 USD for "series 1".
They're not in the loot pool, becuase it would "flood it", according to the devs. Where was that consideration when they added holosprays, emotes, and more recolors of guns/legend skins to the loot pool?
Loot pool = anything that can be randomly picked from any Apex pack.
- @Midnight9746 true, and nobody ever asked for any of these.
I get that they need the money to fix things (we developers work for money), but fixes are still not coming. @RayleenKovacsSeason 16 better be called "Restoration" where there's no new legend, (unless its like Fade or Rhapsody from mobile) and we get actual real fixes. They even promised cross-progression this year and we're two months away from getting an empty promise.
Sure, that sort of thing isn't easy and it does require Sony to stop being childish about it. They hate it when players move their data from their platform to other platforms like Xbox or Switch, and they even blamed the community of Xbox for being the reason they didn't allow cross-play in the first place. Sony even charged Epic Games for the ability to enable cross-platform, which Epic payed to have cross-plat in Fortnite. No doubt Sony charged EA as well. (I've heard about Sony's issue with other platforms, and a quick google search pulled up this cross-play fee which is really childish of a company to pull.)
First issue with Apex, the audio and servers, second issue with Apex, cheaters and smurphs, the third issue (which would be more tamed after the second issue is being better taken care of) the terrible matchmaking system for all modes.
Also back to the earlier comment of "no one asked for stickers", no one asked for laser sights anyways, yet Respawn made it a thing and now we have two "barrel stabilizers" with one having a line coming out of it for "better aim". I pay the line zero attention when I have it equipped and this flooded the floor loot pool with an extra attachment that could of been combined into one such as:
