PC gamer, did you stopped playing this game?
PC gamer, did you stopped playing this game? (You may add the reason why, or not, but make it simple.) I stopped playing this game.

I still play Apex leisurely, on and off, but I also don't make a career out of it. I play the game a couple of hours here and there. If tempted I'll play a bit more. Overall, I don't even play the game 20 hours a week. Suggestion, don't burn yourself out by playing 40+ hours a week. Now, these season passes need to be less grindy! Most players can't set affront of the computer all day long. On top of that, if you play the game too long it does get boring.
I literally stay home all day, and I can't play this game all day long. Truthfully, I watch other people play it more than I play it! lol
I've slowed down a lot after hitting level 100 and about 280 hours into the game. I'm just a bit burnt out - it's hard to get into it when you've got a bad setup, and you're already bad at the game.
I've got an atrociously clunky mouse and a half-broken bluetooth keyboard with eight or so keys stuck partially down. Add that to me generally being awful at shooters, and getting paired against 10k kill level 100 streamers who are actually good at the game, while I have level 2's that are trying their very best but don't know a thing about the game so they're relying on the level 100 (me) to carry them... I can't carry myself, much less two new people, so we die to pretty much the first people we see - which sucks.
I don't care if I win, I just don't want to die to literally the first squad I see every game.
Then you get the super toxic people who aren't fun at all. A level 45 random gets paired with me and my duo'd friend, switches to dropping Solo, pings the first place before either me or my friend is even fully paying attention, then start screaming homophobic slurs and shouting the n word at the two of us for not instantly dropping before blocking doors, and shooting to draw everyone to us. Experiences like that really sour the mood!
Then there's cheaters, you can pretty much spot 2 - 3 squads every game with speedhackers dropping them ten times faster than you possibly can. Hard to get into it when you have to avoid half the map because it's a cesspool of cheats.
All that being said, I trust Respawn and am incredibly happy with the direction they've been going. They've been listening truly well - on launch there were TONS of stability issues, and they've put their everything into fixing those. I went from crashing out of 9/10 games to over a hundred games without a single crash. They're constantly fixing it - and prioritizing fixing the game and getting it running for EVERYONE before they spam out useless cosmetics as an easy cash-grab.
As for cheaters, they're aware of the issue, and they're working to ix it - they introduced some back-end stuff to help them identify cheaters with this last patch, they ARE working on it, it's not some simple task, though. If it was as easy as wishing away the cheaters it'd be done.
My biggest issue now is the servers. Not sure what's been up with them but I start most of my games in slow motion, and there's like 1/10 games I just have to quit, I get the little red connection issue icon in the top right, and it will not fix itself no matter how long I wait. I either spend the whole match freezing in intervals of 30 seconds, or I get disconnected at some point.
What would bring me back would be daily mission-type things, the battle pass being more fun and less grind your brains out for hundreds of hours - maybe by making certain objectives like get kills with certain weapons, or other fun things, that give bonus exp on the battle pass, or making it so that legend bonus isn't so crazy for those of us who like to play the same 3 or 4 legends.
Again, I'm happy with Respawn so far, I'm hopeful for the future, I'm just a bit tired of getting ruined by coordinated premade squads of streamers, the server issues, and hackers.

even i will stop playing this game with in month. i have reached season level 57 and i will stop after 100. because you seen cheaters in lobby and it worse than bugs.
Any company needs to constantly check for new cheats and how they are applied to the games. If they aren't on top of it, a few cheaters can make the game feel like nothing but cheaters. I'm 100% sure that they've blocked a lot of cheaters, but cheaters don't care. They just create new cheats to overcome the barriers set in place. A person who programs cheats can literally overcome a barrier set in place in less than a week. The only thing Respawn can do than is sue the programers directly. Even if they aren't obtaining revenue, by sueing those programers it will correct the issue. This, "training purposes," is an excuse to bypass the ability to sue them. If you CREATE a cheat, your attempt is to cheat or have someone else use the cheats. Once that happens, you are agreeing to go against the companies policy, which is an automatic law suite.
Loss in revenue = Company suffers. That loss of revenue = The programer is responsible for the actions financially.
