@DoYaSeeMe "Apex reached 70 million players before duos."
Yeah i remember the earnings call, It was a pump fake...The stock took a 5% loss after it.
Apex reached 50 million after its first month, Getting 20 million hits in a 7 month window for a triple A free to play game is meaningless when they dont speak on retention or revenue. It only points out how much the growth has slowed.
Heres what we do know...

Heres what i know....Players dont stick around, Go solo que and see how experienced the players your getting qued with are lol.
The game has little retention and im sure that teams are not fully at fault, Im sure season (whatever season we are on) has alot to do with it aswell.

@Fingrpistols Thanks for the links. I don't see anything unusual there. This is not a game for everyone, it's a hardcore shooter. It's amazing that it even reached such big numbers and earnings. The fall is just the hype bubble bursting, otherwise I'm pretty sure the game is still miles above the projected expectations.
I'd say the retention is very good. I'm still amazed by the amount of cash players are throwing on cosmetics in a first person shooter Also, the fact that many people are whining for months instead of moving on just enforces how strong Apex's hooks are.

- 6 years agoI see a lot of opinions here and it's good to discuss these matters. Some agree and some disagree. I guess we have to see what ea has to offer to the players upcoming months. Either way i enjoy playing duos/3 way squads. And maybe ea shouldn't go on more specific options like splitting the players base as it could affect the servers/queue delay time. Though there is a question for adding ranked solo to balance on experience level. Lets keep the fun going, see you on the front line!
