@asukojo Its as asukojo says probably.

Definitely not 100 playing. I’m leaning more towards 100 different accounts having been made rather than 100 different emails.

On Xbox you can just make a dummy acc with the same email but you will have a different acc on apex as well even tho you’re on the same mail.

So claiming 100 million says nothing. If a large number isn’t followed by ‘concurrent players’ or ‘different emails registered players’ or even ‘weekly/monthly accounts played’, it means jack nothingness.

@Koochi-Q Wrong. 100 million users means party time and bonuses 🙂

@DoYaSeeMe I have my main acc on my xbox, I logged in on young trees pc and switch to see the differences, but don't play them. Still only 1 user not 3, not even 3 accounts as all the same account and email and sign in details.
Surely bonuses would be based on factual volumes of use?
This would be obvious to ea and respawn. So why the obviously overstated hype? Is there some sort of share float coming for the gullible? 😃

  @OldTreeCreeper I think everyone counts unique users in pretty much the same way. They can also estimate the percentage of duplicate accounts, by market studies, or count by unique IPs and MAC addresses.
  
  Anyway, doesn't matter if it's 82,345,679 or 100M, number is still huge. Their projection was for 1-10M after 1 year (Chad Grenier remembers 1M, Jon Shiring remembers 10M), so like 15-20 tops max after 2. Going 4-50 times bigger than expectations is very impressive, by any means.
