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 it alway had a stable 250k to 300k player count and suddenly it went down to 149k.

Season 15 seems very promising the map is another great work of art and ingenuity but rank is still bad for

the majority of players and there is no rotation of map in rank, not enough map rotations in general, rank smurfs run rampant, rank is a zoo, etc.

    @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:
