Re: APEX LEGENDS Constant Crashing on PS4
It's not an issue on Respawns end, it's a problem with EA and their disregard towards their server issues.
First off, Respawn was bought by or is "partnered with" EA when it comes to Apex, and I guarantee that EA is the main source of the cosmetics being at scam-level prices.
For example, Titanfall 1 and 2 (Apex's predecessors) are made by Respawn, and EA holds no appearance or title in them. They have cosmetics in them which range from 2-8 dollars, all of which are purely to change the look of titans and pilots.
On to my second point. Even though Respawn was a fairly small company back then, both Titanfall games would rarely ever crash with the servers they used for them, even to this day. But once they made Apex and switched over to using EA's servers, these crashes appeared in bulk and have constantly gotten worse and worse as the game continues to grow, and it's not just because of how much more data is being sent and processed to the servers.
Onto my third point, out of all the games I've played on my PS3 and PS4, I've noticed that games EA has a hand in crash far more often than games that don't have any association with them.
This leads me to believe this: EA doesn't maintenance, update, or regulate their servers as much as they actually need to or should, because they're more worried about using the money they get to make more things people wanna buy, and more worried about buying out other companies so they can reap profits from any games those companies make after they're bought out.
