450k watching fortnite compared to our 30k
That just goes to show where our money is going. The money we spend on this game clearly dosent go back into it. We have seen minimal improvement throughout this games lifetime and only in areas wher...

@SDS_JuggernautTV I completely agree with the author, nothing interesting happens as if the game lives its own life and this is sad ☹️
I was a fan since Apex launch, but they are going down slowly, it's so sad when a game can not keep it's old players, it's sad when they know players community is sad about something and instead of correcting or at least explaining it, they make a joke about it, that's when you lose fans and players and viewers.
Chad Grenier, Respawn Entertainment’s design director and game director: I have a kind of a funny thing that we joke about in the office, when we’re talking about things like the Pathfinder nerf, we use SBMM as a scale, like; ‘how upset are people gonna be, SBMM angry, or…?’ [laughs]

As a fan I can see even streamers are kinda annoyed because of remained bugs, lack of content and very late updates, and yes they switch to other games. Many moved from PUBG to Apex, but now they are back to PUBG, just because of things like this.
While i agree that Apex probably is slightly decreasing its playerbase, Fortnite's numbers will never be reached by any other BR because it's just too popular among kids and major streamers play it only to get easy money from them. Apex lacks of good updates and community feedback, i mean everyone keeps asking for big improvements in terms of servers and connection, but after a year and a half we still didn't see any of these, instead we saw the situation become worse and worse. A prime example of this is the last ALGS tournament. In one lobby the server crashed while in some others there was consistent lag. That's not how you present your game worldwide, and of course if this keeps going the few big streamers that play Apex eventually will stop, and we'll see even a bigger downfall. Or i could talk also about bugs not being fixed from season 5 launch(not even mentioned by devs). I really hope they'll realize that big changes to the game are needed because as it stands now a lot of people is more frustrated than happy to play it.
I'm a Season 1 player, over 1300 hours my LVL is in the 400s, and I'm hanging in there, but the cheating is out of hand, but I still love the game, I just take a different approach to it, to outsmart and kill the cheaters is all.
Bottom Line: Unless you work for EA, who's to tell honestly, what the reasons are for what we see? I can't imagine the juggling act a company like this must do, in order to produce a free game, the amount of time and development/developers needed, which takes away from the other projects, to keep the money in a business.
HEY PEOPLE: Cut EA some slack, the entire world with COVID-19 is in a mess, and it's not right of people to be so negative, this doesn't help anyone! They are people just like you and me, with friends, families, loves one like all of us, so really CUT THEM SOME SLACK! The Developers of EA, many are just employees like any company, so sitting talking trash, how do you think it might make them feel?
Anyhow...
Sit back and chill out people, and wait and see what comes next!
PEACE
@xpl0itsI used to say the same thing. Here are a few things to consider:
1. It’s a free game but many players like myself pay actual money to support developers for things like battle pass, skins, events and so forth.
2. Many other games face the same issues of COVID-19, but they cope well and they are doing as usual now, also this 45-60 days update is nothing new in Apex, for a simple bug fix like “you unlocked a quest” you have to wait 6-8 weeks until the next patch.
3. Apex is not the only free game in the world, many was/is/will be free and I doubt they use this as an excuse for issues. They all try to improve to make a larger player community and eventually they will make enough money to cover everything.
4. Apex has the name of Respawn with 10 years background and also an very rich EA behind it, don’t assume they are like 4 or 5 simple developers in their hoodies working in a rental garage.
