@YourWatsonFar more complaints go towards EA than towards Respawn. Have Respawn ever been accused of abuse? Have they forced their workers to regularly work 70-100 hours a week and even work through weekends for a long time? Have Respawn helped facilitate the interests of the US military? All the crap Apex has is specific to the project or EA.
The only companies that are as innocent as Respawn aren't doing as well as them. Respawn are the only ones who are both that ethical (relatively speaking) and successful, all because of a little BR shooter known as Apex Legends. They're the envy of various studios who are incredibly careful to prevent abuse and refuse to replicate standard game industry practices such as crunch. They're also the envy of studios that want in on the BR hype.
Been playing Destiny 2 and Fortnite. Epic's work practices are detailed in that article, I know less about Destiny 2 but I hope Bungie are as innocent in this regard as Respawn, and I'm sad they're not doing as well.
Try getting a community who aren't typically hyped about shooters to get into another one, and the one shooter they're hyped up for you don't like. They avoid CoD because of its militaristic nature, they avoid Overwatch because of ActiBlizz, they avoid Destiny 2 because of the vaulting controversy, they avoid Fortnite because of the childish aesthetic and the crap associated with children's games. This community I'm part of likes Apex Legends precisely because of the diversity and they take little issue to Respawn's reputation, as there's barely anything to take issue to aside from their association with EA. They don't care if it's a BR, or even like it's a BR but I don't. Meanwhile the only other shooters I can join they'll pass because it doesn't have the diversity they want and/or the rep they respect from the company.
I am in other communities who are into shooters, but I believe ActiBlizz deserve nothing but bankruptcy in the light of their actions, and the immediate ousting of the tyrant Kotick - shooter communities aren't exactly the most wholesome but shooters are right now my most preferred genre. Also they seem to be the genre that's doing the best, and I can't name another company whose game has as many players as Apex, and where the studio has a similar rep to Respawn.
I usually do not post like I am about to but here it goes.
Maybe just maybe you need to touch grass and I mean like a lot of it for a long time.
It seems to me that you have a gripe/complaint against all of the major gaming companies and state why you will not support and or play their games. You even take a backhanded approach at Respawn/EA and Apex saying it is problematic that Respawn is a part of EA and that is bad and that the original product of Apex being a BR is bad and you do not support that.
You have a choice between what is out there to play and enjoy and what is not.
If gaming companies do not supply what you want, then it is what it is, and maybe FPS gaming is not a good choice for you.
