It's really no mystery how developers come up with so many bad ideas for trying to prolong the life of an aging title. Change whatever you can change that requires little to no financial investment (akimbo, bin re-sets, other trivial but annoying changes too numerous to name). And I would almost sympathize with their problems IF they had already announced the development of a replacement. Not only have they NOT announced a replacement, but Andrew Wilson in investor calls continues to try to BS his Wall Street constituency into believing that Apex has a "ten year" road map. Well, he may have a road map for the future of this game but, at the rate they're going, I'll be surprised if any of the player base gets the message or is interested in hanging around long enough to see what things look like at the decade mark. Honestly, why hand around to see? We already know that if the player base is currently 30% cheaters and the other 70% is made up mostly of secondary accounts, then by the ten year mark this game will be 100% aimbots, x-ray vision, and completely randomized matchmaking.
@reconzeroSteam player counts dropping like a rock, no communication from EA/Respawn, streamers abandoning Apex for other games. We've been complaining about all the issues with this game for years but they refuse to do anything meaningful to address any of them. Just a few BS blog posts and an endless stream of collection events. It is truly pathetic.
I believe the MM is the most to blame. Putting an average player with two new players in a lobby with 3 stack pred and masters teams leaves both the average player and the new players frustrated. The biggest mistake that's been made is prioritizing time in queue over quality of the lobby skill.
