@hayhor There's nothing that can be done to match in studio productivity, I'd say not even by far. Poor communication, bad security, logistics and networking issues, interruptions, desynchronizations, lower motivation and so on break the team's cohesion, which is key in this field.
@DoYaSeeMe I'm not saying there are no challenges. There are but there are also investments that can be made to help. We have a software department and they seem to be flourishing, tho they do not make video games. They use tools for communicating and updating project statuses and logistics. IT has helped with security and networking upgrading our system.
Again, if they said these things were an issue 3 months in that is fine. But we are 7 months in and 3 months in we knew this would he at least a 1 year thing. Take some of the profits and invest it in tools that help the devs.

@hayhor That word though, investment. They're not going to put much extra money in to deal with these things so they'll just muddle through till the return of a more normal work environment and having most of the stuff pre packed for future seasons, they could have brought some things forward or restructured their releases. Plenty in the vault they could have toyed with.
The concept of working overtime or catching up on weekends is lost on Respawn staff which they've already stated (along with becoming complacent and lacking foresight) so inevitably through lounging about at home things would fall back in terms of productivity and if this was just during the Covid period i would be more sympathetic but they've had lacklustre content releases and fixes since launch.
Not much has really changed now from before.
What i find surprising is some here defend Respawn (traditionally the same people even when respawn is clearly at fault) like they're doing their best when other developers are still able to pull through during these trying times and get things done.
60-80 people working solely on Apex currently and all we've had this season is rereleased LTMs and no new map for over a year.
