Solo Custom Lobbies and Support-A-Creator
Heyo,
I think it would be great if E-sport providers such as ourselves, had an option to open up solo lobbies to better provide for our communities. I understand the minimum number of participants for private matches being 30 will be due to the number of dedicated servers being opened which is why I ask for providers to have an exception.
For the majority of last year, we had invested $20 - $30 per week (depending on PayPal fees) to host a weekly solo tournament with a monthly prized leaderboard attached. Now without the ability to host solo tourneys we will either need to at least double (Triple if we're to run trios) our investment or cancel the weekly tournament all together and provide less events for the community.
It would be great if EA had a support-a-creator program we could have access to which offers providers like us the exception to host solo lobbies. Also, a support-a-creator code which will see a small percentage of in-game purchases of those using the code coming back to us providers and communities.
I think this would be a great retention step towards supporting communities and seeing Apex Legends remaining at the top of the best games available in the years to come. 🙂
Best,
GBA
