is Apex dying?
is Apex dying? no new content is making you think?
Forum Discussion
@Warz0ne_Legends Naa, we just live in a world where people are spoiled so rotten that they will complain about a free game they aren't forced to play.
game may be free but they still rack in millions and those millions go no where for improvements for this game. best thing they could do is sell this game and let someone else take over cause the route theyve went with this its not coming back
- @Getsum2023 they earned those millions. I've spent money on Apex and do so not because I need to. But I spend a little bit of money here and there to support a game I enjoy. EA, Respawn and the devs who work on the game earned every penny of it IMO.
I'm okay with the slower content releases right now. Work from home has created a ton of challenges for all businesses and their staff. I've been impressed with what they have been able to provide so far.- @DarthValtrex totally agree with ya, even I spent some money at the beginning with pure heart and honesty to keep a beautiful thing going BUT ....things started to change in a bad way.
sorry to say but as you said they earned every penny but the question is what they did with it ???
maybe Apex was a filler, a quick moneymaker to be released in a sudden the way they did and let it make whatever money it can then just throw it away.
do they have any plans to use SOME of that money to at least upgrade servers?
we always get the excuse " they are working from home ", ok ...accepted with all respect BUT then we will be expecting a BIG FREAKING HUGE improvement, new content, and upgrades once everything is back to normal on their side especially now there are new gears on both PC and console.....or am mistaken? - @DarthValtrex In my opinion working from home is not a good excuse any more. It has been this way for 7 months now. There are things companies can do to make working from home better. And they cant even use the unstable economy as an excuse as they have benefited from it.
- @hayhor I don't know about the rules of each country but many countries opened up, talking about my self I interact with people every day at my work and not only my colleagues even outsiders, and that never stopped me or anyone in here to do our jobs perfectly.
but at the end, everyone has the right to protect their safety but I will say it again, we should be expecting big things from our friends at Respawn when everything is back to normal so there will be 0 excuses and I have faith that they can deliver great things IF they have the will to do it
@DarthValtrex they earned those millions INITIALLY. When the game was released everyone thought it was genuinely promising, and a lot of gaming journalism outlets (despite the fact that most of them suck) hyped the game up to be the next Fortnite killer. Obviously this isn't the case, but the problem wasn't nor isn't the fact it failed to kill Fortnite, the problem is that the Apex Devs have failed to deliver constantly, despite the numerous amount of community feedback.
Audio has been a problem since day 1, and that hasn't been resolved to this day. Same with crappy hit-reg and net-code, AND overall server quality. There's a lot of map geometry bugs that have been pointed out by content creators and those still haven't been fixed. Slow content deliver has always been a point of criticism since a few months after the game was launched, and even though obviously Covid has impacted this, it's definitely wrong to chalk the entirety of slow content deliver up to Covid's fault. Even then, the content we do get is poorly implemented and designed, with no real thought put into how it actually works, but rather how good it looks on paper. The game not feeling fresh or having different ways to enjoy playing is still an issue even though people have been requesting and suggesting numerous ways to combat this on here and on Reddit.
I play a lot of Early Access games on Steam, and its really astounding to see how little Respawn works compared to them. Gunfire Reborn and Craftopia being really prominent examples of getting an astounding amount of work done DESPITE the Covid working conditions. Craftopia was released for Early Access on 9/4, and subsequently had updates on 9/6, 9/8, 9/9,9/10, 9/11, 9/15, 9/16, 9/17,9/18,9/19,9/24, and 9/25 alongside their alpha roadmap for upcoming work. Using Covid as an excuse for slow content when slow content has been an issue since launch is just saddening.
