@Axs5626Sxa5001 that's the thing though, it should be about keeping older players and attracting newer ones, but free-to-play games always have to make that difficult choice between having a larger player-base, and making enough money to keep the game running.
Spiral Knights is a super prominent example of how a game can keep running despite not having a large player-base. They haven't had real content, bug-fixes, optimization, etc. etc. for years now, their average player count for the last 30 days is 250, and yet enough people buy enough stuff to keep that game going, despite also not having an actual development team for like 5 years.
I've just become less invested in the game both financially and content wise.
Don't get me wrong I still enjoy apex (most of the time) but it's just lost its sparkle for me personally. There's too many issues affecting my gameplay to make me feel any inclination to financially support the game. The content released hasn't been by any means terrible...but the weapons have mostly been mediocre excluding the volt, and the U turn on olympus really felt like a kick in the teeth. The new legends have been ok but again, they don't suit my own play style so bar revenant I never play them.
Apex is still a good game, but there is certainly plenty of room for improvement.
