aim assist 2024
hello this is a pro player status twitter : I have played 8 hours of M/K today after a hiatus of probably around 2 years and its safe to say I'd never permanently swap back unless they nerfed aim as...
@Redmattgame Its the overall potential. Perhaps I was too harsh on my summary to lump up the controller players in the same batch as console players.
I think crossprogression is the final attempt to save the player numbers (lump all the players in the same lobby -> have working lobbies) which isnt really working.
To my point: In my household we have 3 consoles that can run Apex and one gaming PC. You already know how those are divided between me and my kids. Buying console is way much easier & cheaper than gaming PC.
Fortnite has +100 million players per month. Apex has had 130 million players during its lifetime. 78% of the players are playing on console & over 60% of the players are on the younger side. And Fortnite is making buttloads of money. Fortnite stats
Above has nothing to do with Apex directly but my guess is that EA would be stupid not to target those players. So its about the potential.
EDIT: Same theory goes with the microtransactions. Son got 160€ worth of bday gift cards from his friends for Xbox shop and spent pretty much every bit of it on Fortnite. Me, I rather buy a new game from Steam sales for 5€ (and never have time to play it) than spend that money on skins etc.
Maybe a little bit off-topic, but worth mentioning (and haven't seen anyone ever mentioning it). That some people with a light form of autism (might not even be aware of themselves) make up for a part of these good players, as they can process every pixel at the same time and react quickly to it. So, it's not always aim-assist or cheats.
