In light of the last success of season 16 with new high player counts EA closed Apex Mobile and stopped working on the single-player game. Now they lay off beta testers and cut the budget. Does the future of Apex Legends still shines bright?
The higher player count was a spike, Apex is on its way down again.
Some of the sarcasm here is fantastic.
I do happen to agree that if 200 playtesters were let go it might be because they did a bad job, BUT more likely, it is because EA set up a bad feedback system, maybe one that didn't take criticism or didn't encourage it, and now they're blaming the playtesters. Could be financial 'trouble' which means it isn't ratcheting as much as the EA graphic makers wanted, or sure, why balance a game anyway? Let's go with what streamers and esports people say.
Lel. I hope all those streamers and esports people are going to float this game with their purchases.
