Why is this game so appealing to teens?
Why is this game different from other Battle Royale games?
What is it about the competition of the Battle Royale aspect that attracts teens?
Do you think teenagers will ever outgrow Battle Royales and Apex Legends?
Thank you I appreciate it
I have a few issues with these questions, because you heavily imply that this is for teens & teenagers.
I'm in my 30's and I play BR games (amongst many other genres..mostly RTS), this doesn't really have anything to do with teens... (me and a friend of mine played with 1 random the other day...the dude was 8 years old!! Me and my buddy were like (WTF?!?!) when he spoke...)
Free to Play games will always attract the younger generations because there are not purchases (financial decisions / commitments) to be made.
Just create an email address, Origin account, download the game & bam, you're in.
Any 8yr old can do it...
As for gamers (not teens specifically) and whether or not they will outgrow BR games & APEX Legends, until the next F2P BR fad comes out, APEX will be up there with the likes of PUBG & Fortnite.
As for BR games in general, they offer things many other genres don't.
But the main reason why BR games are thriving the way they do is that it gives a type of 'thrill' that other genres don't really provide (not unless you play competitively), at least, IMO.
