Amazing update!

Is there anyone left who still streams this game? Are there any Apex creators left anywhere?

The only new players this game attracts anymore are old players firing up new accounts to beat the matchmaker. But what the dev is doing with Wildcard is test-bedding features that they think will make the game feel new to old players. Because we all signed up six years ago... so that we could wait six years for the game to evolve into something we want to play. Because apparently it wasn't already that six years ago. You know, when it had millions upon millions of genuinely new players, not just the same old tired 100k cycling endlessly through one new secondary after another.

You know, sarcasm aside, they're probably right. Gamers have the attention spans of toddlers and if they've said anything in a unified voice it's that they want a faster game that's more forgiving. That's another way of saying that they don't have the patience for an eighteen minute match, and they most certainly don't want kills or deaths to have any real meaning. They just want endless gunplay uninterrupted by re-queues and lobbies. Hello, Wildcard. The thing is... all they had to do was go play Halo or Call of Duty or Valor or Counter Strike or literally any one of a dozen other games with small maps, small teams, and a kill count. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Why are there so many people playing battle royale games when they don't like multi-team pile ups, looting, waiting, strategizing, planning, or executing methodically and with patience, or basically anything that makes battle royale different from an arena shooter?
