- @KelRiever EA might lose money. Oh noessss!
Playing Apex for two years. Going through a lot of other stuff in my life. At least I have the consistent escape of Apex for several hours a day or an entire weekend if I choose. Having my account hacked and banned was not great. I hope EA is able to handle this and keep the hacking and account disruptions to a minimum. At the same time I will need to convey the message that I was repeatedly told: "You alone are responsible for the security of your account. You should have enabled 2FA."

@KelRieverThe hack had nothing to do with apex legends. It also can not benefit hackers any in terms of apex cheats being created. Both games run on different engines. This means apex is in the clear as they got access to the frostbite engine which FIFA and battlefield are running on. Apex is on source engine.
- @E9ine_AC Beat me to it lol. I was gonna say they stole the FIFA source code. But FIFA players need to not play for awhile anyway with the stories I hear about them lol.
It could though, E9. Frostbite doesn’t but the extent of the hack could absolutely affect Apex, and I hate to say probably does. It’s not just Frostbite source code that was hacked.
Do I hope you are right however? Yes, yes I hope absolutely and totally you are correct.

@KelRieverFrostbite is a engine the game is ran on. Seeing they are completely different engine types it would not be compatible. It can not be applied to Source engine in the slightest. This is not a game i mean its what the game is built on. So you can not implement something that is not compabile. Different set of devs as well which would do things completely different from apex making it even that much more impossible.
Apex was built on Source Engine.
FIFA, Battle Field is built on Frostbite Engine.
Yes, I understand, but again if you look at the hack, it wasn't just the Frostbite engine. That's just part of the major news. Yes, Frostbite was hacked, and so were other things apparently. So, code for Apex? absolutely could have been hacked according to the news. Possibly 'full capability of exploiting on all EA services'
It all depends what they got. It's not necessarily limited to the Frostbite engine ☹️
- @KelRiever Apex uses a heavily modified Source Engine, which belongs to Respawn only, it's not available to other EA studios.
- @KelRiever Is there an article somewhere about this because I haven't seen anything?
- @E9ine_AC TBF the article I read was pretty vague. It named a few games as examples of what EA makes. Apex may or may not have been affected.
