@Tad844 What I don't understand is why players who crave a simpler and faster-paced game don't just go and play a simpler and faster-paced game,
Games development companies - the means of producing high quality games - have been gobbled up by large corporations. Some of those large corporations have been gobbled up by even bigger corporations.These big companies use this producion capacity to develop video games as marketplaces for in-game digital sales. And they make huge amounts of money from it.
I don't think solid reasoning on how gameplay should develop to satisfy the player is going to ever gain traction with these greedy companies while they are making tons of cash from microtransactions.
That's why you can't just tell people to find some other game to play. Instead players should demand better gameplay from those who control the means of producing the games. I don't really see this happening and we all know that this has been a hot topic in the news with goverments deciding what is gambling in video games. But nothing has changed. We are playing a loot simulator because it seems to suit a greedy few. This is also why these games are so infuriating to play. It simply suits the purpose of the people who are making money from it.
Apparently the devs have had very tough working conditions as well. Because they're being ruthlessly squeezed while there's a lot of money to be made.
So I just want Apex, with its awesome team of developers behind it, to be developed to suit the players first and formeost.
