Politics has no place in Apex

I play Apex to run around and kill other players. Not to have political and social issues forced in my face.

You play the game to escape reality for a while.. to NOT think about all the BS going on.

I'm disappointed in this decision, I can't even scroll so I see another message, just BLM forced in my face. We already see it 24 hours a day can we not just play the game.

  • @Flavious_JacksonI agree. The insertion of BLM is ridiculous. EA gave into this so easily, I don't know if Respawn was made to go along with it or not. A black man who was on a drug cocktail died, resisted arrest and because he was overdosing he died during restraint and apparently that means that we need to have a political faction's agenda shoved in our faces. Shame on Apex for this.

  • @Flavious_Jackson I agree with you, I was about to open a topic/thread on this but I see you did already. I play games to escape reality and for a moment forget about all the BS going on, some of us already have a bad day/life, why do we need to bring this into videogames too, what's next I wonder, political campaigns forced into our faces? I'm disgusted to see I can't have chill and play some goddamn videogames without being forced to aknowledge what I already see 24/7 already.

    Literally the same thoughts. 

    SICK TO DEATH of seeing it. I know it's going on. I log on to relax and chill.

    For the love of god, STOP sticking this stuff in-game. I came three inches from completely removing the game. 

  • Other games have taken quite a hit with this topic. With a lot players walking away from said game company. I agree I do not come to play games to see whats blasted all over discord the media and social media. This is our escape. If i wanted to see that mess id cut on my TV. 

  • I am more interested in the psychological side; why it triggers you so much, why you just cant ignore it if it doesn't interests you. All I saw was one screen of a general statement about it when I logged in, which often is something else that I click past.

    Even if the BLM-movement feels disconnected from gaming, I still think its funny that you guys got so angry that they dared to show you a statement about BLM that you even considered uninstalling the game =)

    Locking this, it's not going to go anywhere useful. 

  • I dont want your leftist political ideology in the game. Not everyone is an American or left wing and wants your diversity propaganda. Keep this * out of the game.
