EA confirms Apex is dying
This is the second time I believe that EA has said Apex has underperformed financially (first time was January this year). Respawn/EA continue to prove they're out of touch with the community & don't...
@BallisticMVPI am sure somewhere stats may show it being lower. We went from an average 400k masters most seasons to nearly what 1.6m now? This indicates more players. Even if you go by current masters there is 1.6 million master ranks. This is 1.6 million players while some may be alts as well this is still a very very large number of players.
That 1.6m is for 1 single rank. Imagine rookie, gold, plat, diamond, pred. This 1.6m figure is greatly increased once adding those in.
So I will not say the game is dying despite what stat some company thinks they have correct. When pure numbers are there to be seen. Not everyone uses steam.
Then lets add in big games dropping Diablo 4 being a recent one where a ton of all gaming populations shifted over to until they was bored with it or still remain there. All game releases pull players from their typical normal games.
I will help clear the confusion behind if the game is "dying" Seeing Rookie rank indicates all these players did get past their placement matches. This is not counting non ranked playing players.
Rookie 4 = 160,821
Rookie 3 = 197,974
Rookie 2 = 199,953
Rookie 1 = 201, 839
----------------------------------
Bronze 4 = 167,030
Bronze 3 = 218,430
Bronze 2 = 221,929
Bronze 1 = 205,907
----------------------------------
Silver 4 = 160,213
Silver 3 = 197,377
Silver 2 = 137,067
Silver 1 = 133,621
----------------------------------
Gold 4 = 115,722
Gold 3 = 146,053
Gold 2 = 144,176
Gold 1 = 118,689
---------------------------------
Plat 4 = 141,126
Plat 3 = 135,440
Plat 2 = 116,377
Plat 1 = 88,901
--------------------------------
Diamond 4 = 168,222
Diamond 3 = 113,448
Diamond 2 = 85,172
Diamond 1 = 59,677
--------------------------------
Masters = 1.6m
Pred = 2250
All these added up equals a whopping 6,191,645 players who participated in just ranked this season.
It's almost like they inflated player count by making Masters a participation trophy that anyone with enough time & hatred for themselves could get.
@BallisticMVPWell this is a indicator in just ranked of how many did not leave like some assume.
Wish I had a way of seeing how many pure pub players can be added to that nearly 6.2m which im sure is a very large number as well.
