Respawn Entertainment MUST consider non-BR fans.

I keep hearing awesome things about Apex Legends, but I can never get into this game because it is centered purely on the battle royale (BR) experience. Arenas is widely hated by even myself (I would...

@reconzero I'm on PC and Halo is practically dead. No one's really interested in both the gameplay and the IP surrounding Halo. People love the diversity of characters and high stakes gameplay in Apex. 343 Industries maintains the Halo IP and people really hate them for the monetization of Halo Infinite and how they're handling Halo in general. Destiny 2 is the only thing that's non-BR that comes close to Apex but Bungie, who maintain Destiny 2, have been incredibly low profile, they've have had a controversy with content vaulting and I suck at its PvP (I'd rather watch videos surrounding the lore than play through the PvE most of the time now).

I was carried close to Apex's launch by more competent players several times to being Champion.

I want an EA and Respawn employee to read this. They most need to read this. Some of us randoms online feel this way but have not had anything.

      @Emery_XPthere are many shooters that are actually much bigger than apex

      especially non br shooters 

      and you were talking about having a big pool of potential players but in reality most mnk fps players avoid crossplay games with aimassist.

        @matzesingtThere are, but all of them implement regular crunch or enforce excessive crunch (like Epic and ActiBlizzard), and/or have done heinous things (such as ActiBlizz and Ubisoft's abuse cases, Valve's extremely lax attitude towards cheaters just to keep their skin economy going, Riot's games being toxic and one of the higher up staff members making racist comments).

        Respawn is an exception among studios maintaining AAA shooters, if not, AAA games in general. An exception everyone should aspire to, except being BR and arenas only.

        Also I'm not that concerned about crossplay. CS:GO beats Apex only on Steam because even though it officially has multiple platform support, it's effectively PC only. Apex could easily beat CS:GO if Origin, PSN, Xbox Live and Nintendo Online numbers were available and added up on top of the Steam numbers, and even if they never play against mnk PC players.
