They never solve real issues in my opinion. It seems EA/Respawn no we’re hooked on these games and I rarely see actual change based on issues the general consumer has. They only cater to pro players. I get it, it’s a bottom line business but man, it’s too bad they don’t really have the passion.
They care (a lot of the devs actually care and of course money) and they definitely know the problems the game has. The big problem is just they’re so freakin’ slow in fixing stuff. Like multiple seasons long bugs.
@DarthValtrex Sorry but EA isn’t as great as you think they are. You might be forgetting what happened to Battlefront 2, Mass Effect Andromeda, FIFA, Anthem and Sim City.
@Cheese9Man Don't forget Titanfall and the next victim, F1 lol.
Oh and that recently released BF 2042 game. LOL.
I have a lot of respect for Respawn but not for EA. Unfortunately that EA corporate greed bleeds into apex from time to time.
Let’s not forget this PR nightmare of a tweet 2 weeks ago where even Vince Zampella (former head of Respawn) face palmed EA.
Some of you need to catch up on Jmeyels vids, there’s a lot of negative surrounding both EA and Repsawn at the moment, even ‘Pros’ are starting to speak up after this failure of an ALGS ‘event’.
WELL...yes.
But come on, OP, you signed up for a game that was free to play unless you buy skins that cost the price of a whole video game each, what do you expect?
Now, as mentioned, yeah, sure they care about the game. What you have to realize (and is legitimate to complain about but still understand) is that as a product, this one is MONEY FIRST, or it would not have been released in a freemium format. Freemium is a bait and in the end, is designed to ratchet more money out of gamers net, even if a few don't pay that much or nothing to play. It wouldn't be that business model otherwise. Game companies who do not have as big an agenda (but still have an agenda) for $$$ do not release in a freemium format.
Second, it isn't that they don't care, it is that they make bad decisions. Right now, frankly, Apex and Respawn seem smitten with the tiny percentage of esports fans, Pro team members and streamers, than they do the greater community that plays their game, i.e. regular people. Many companies have made this mistake in the past, and I doubt it will go away anytime soon completely. But you should know this by now too. No, you don't get to play games like the ones they do in ALGS, meaning no, you don't get to have games that are that much fun even if you and your mates don't have the same skill level. You get to suffer, particularly if you don't queue with a full team, with a much more garbage result in the game.
The real question is do you think it is worth it for you, and if not, it is quite evident that Respawn takes too long to change, even when they do for the better. I'd move on, or do what I do, which is play a lot less. I only play when it's fun, I've ditched Ranked completely because it sucks now, and I'm not suffering over Respawn's terrible decisions. If they want me to be different, then you know, they should change their game for the better, but I owe them nothing.
You're the consumer, you should make decisions appropriate to that and uh, this game is far from the only BR game out there, let alone the only game that (was) super fun.
