Andrew Wilson on the latest investor call.
https://variety.com/2024/gaming/news/apex-legends-changes-ea-season-22-battle-pass-1236194385/ Well, they know they messed up the battle pass, so there's that. The rest of it sounds to me like a lot...

“In the quarter, Season 22 of ‘Apex Legends’ launched with significantly more new features for casual and seasoned players alike, including more modes, a new map and new anti-cheat software,”
New anti-cheat? The complaints of cheaters taking over has seemed to go up since this the new anti-cheat - if any at all was added other than EAC. Sure didn't and doesn't seem like they added new anti-cheat.
Expectations fell short - I sure hope they weren't surprised by this. When you harbor some of the worst MM in the gaming industry, worst sound engine, cheaters taking over the game, as well as some of the worst comms with your own player base ( or lack there of), and have completely ignored the casual player base, how can anyone be surprised of expectations falling short. Did they not expect this?
"As Andrew mentioned, we are committed to delivering new experiences for our players with a continued focus on enhancing player engagement and retention.” - Im not sure I like this statement. As many are aware of specific tactics that are involved when some focus hard on engagement and retention. And they claim they don't use EOMM.
@ComicBookGuy2727 Andrew Wilson is a politician. He made a bunch of feel good statements without any details on exactly what they're gonna do about it. Acting surprised that Apex didn't meet financial expectations is just complete ignorance. I really don't know who in their right mind would pay for Apex coins with the state the game is in right now.
