Lead developers leave Apex
Another dev leaves Respawn, more specifically Apex Legends. Jason McCord, the Design Director at Respawn has said his goodbye on twitter. It seems that he’s leaving in good terms. Devs come and go i...
@ZeelmaekersYes my buddy who works in the same field also switches companies like every other year. But is it kinda worrisome that most of the core team members of the Apex team left in a short span of time of around less than half a year?
Having said that, new people in these positions will have fresh new ideas for the game. Apex definitely needs fresh new ideas for content. I still go back to JayBiebs replacing DZK as the head of game balance and now the legends and weapons balances are better than ever.
Definitely!
You can also look at the bright side, new people = new ideas, different viewpoints.
I think it's positive that they switch jobs and explore other companies/jobs.
Of course, the switch can sometimes have a worse effect, but as long the person in question is leaving saying he has an amazing time, I'm not worried that the game will be affected in the future.
I don't think there is something going on in the back like Blizzard/Activision atm, they just fired part of their QA team.
