Re: Ranked servers pretty bad today

@OldTreeCreeperBecause companies are always looking for the next big thing. At one points BRs weren't the thing in FPS. I'm already seeing lots of speculation extraction modes will make BRs obsolete. I'll believe it when I see it tho.

Why doesn't the apex generated money get stuck right back into it? Because that money gets used to fund other games and initiatives. A company that sticks to only what works today dies tomorrow.

  • @hayhor I actually disagree. Most AAA publishers are afraid to take risks. That's why games feel stagnant, devoid of creativity. Especially with Apex. It's extremely formulaic, and based on EA's history, they take a successful product, milk it to death, while providing the minimal amount of support, as long as it somewhat functions, and once it dries up, they move on. Apex generates massive amounts of money for them. Massive! It would be the most logical decision, if you're interested in creating something sustainable that is, to reinvest back into this heavily as EA has nothing new in the pipeline. They could actually rename EA to 'Apex' and just sit on their * and in the words of 50 cent, "watch the money pile up" if they properly supported it. If this game had top-of-the-line servers, new game engine, 3x the amount of employees, it would continuously generate massive profits year in, year out. It's already proven itself to do that on the outdated tech that it runs on.

    @ThisGameBlows How do you know EA isn't spending the Apex money on other games? It takes years to see this and we do not know what is being worked on.

    Apex came out of nowhere. It wasn't even supposed to be a BR. Their early budget dictated decisions made regarding what's used for the game engine. Is it hurting them now? Yes but they didn't know this would be a billion dollar game.
