I really want Respawn to make a fortune on any other title but Apex Legends. I don't want to play a battle royale (nor do I want to play Arenas), and there are many others out there who don't too. Respawn, out of many companies in the games industry, or even the entertainment industry as a whole, are one of the best, for not enforcing excessive crunch or having ever abused any of their coworkers (and if there has been cases of abuse it's minimized more effectively than with other companies to my knowledge).
It's a shame the rest of the games industry can't keep up with the example Respawn has set with regards to how they run their company. It's also a shame that the entertainment industry also can't keep up with the level of diversity Respawn are deeply committed to (note streaming services' cancellations of shows that feature gay women in prominent positions like Warrior Nun). The only major fault Respawn has is associating with EA. I want better from this godforsaken industry as someone who is only really interested in just playing games, but not battle royale shooters.
I've heard a new game is in the works that exists in the Apex universe.
I'm expecting it to be kind of like R6 extraction, a PvE game.
Could probably get them a nice amount of money if this is true.
@XHelperZI'm not sure if I'll be a fan of extraction shooters. DMZ in Warzone 2.0 has already been panned for the excessive difficulty of AI that really punishes soloist and less experienced players. There are people who find the grind to be enough and don't want to have to be skilled to enjoy the game.
The need to have skill is what's gatekeeping Apex to anyone but the most experienced of shooters, no one can play this game for fun unless they like the BR gameplay loop (which I feel like applies to only either those who are sick of deathmatch or who don't really play shooters). For everyone who plays shooters and/or likes a deathmatch-like loop in multiplayer PvP, BR and extraction shooters like Tarkov and DMZ are torture for them.
I need to hear it directly from Respawn that they're working on something for the non-BR fans. Of course there is the new Star Wars game confirmed to be coming out on March, but anyone who isn't into Star Wars and/or souls-likes aren't likely to be interested.
