Re: why are there so many cheaters?
They really do not value the average user experience and instead model their "experience" on the ability pull more people to the platform for market share.
As many new comers are unable to handle the time it takes to progress in this game, Apex seems to allow them to progress quickly to keep them playing.
Sadly, if you want to exit a lobby of LTM that has a cheater in it, you are the one that has to pay the price in terms of an abandonment time penalty.
the CEO and higher level management want to see the number of users increase, not the quality of the game. Now you can easily get aim assist for MnK and ramp up the percentage of assist that you want. That is how we get so many players that seem to beam while "tap-strafing" (utilizing scripts) which basically looks like someone bunny hopping all over the screen and impossible to hit.
The pride of Apex was its community and movement, which has sadly both been eradicated due to the complete lack of integrity and support from the devs and management.
Most people are just playing it until something similar comes out and we will all gladly jump accross which is a sad state for any game to be in.
