If they gave all the legends their own heirloom first then introduced universal heirlooms that would be ok but they’ve completely ignored the remaining legends who don’t have heirlooms and still haven’t updated all the mythic skins with dive trails 👿. And the number of tabs and currency for all these store items is both desperate and crazy 😵💫. Literal crack head tactics.
Only reason we got universal hairlooms was Final fantasy collab because buster sword was huge hit EA thought if that was hit others universal hairlooms would probably be a hit also
@ really cause as the video states it’s not even breaking 100,000 player count right now and each day that 78 thousand average keeps dwindling mind you once the EPG comes out it’ll probably shoot up again but not to 100,000. plus all the other ongoing issues that they refuse to address just so they can add another item shop. Right now the game is on its last leg and once EA and the shareholders realized that it’s no longer going to increase profits which is probably gonna be very soon they’re just gonna drop the game entirely because my poor money into a game that’s not gonna make the money so no, it’s not dead yet but I doubt it’s gonna make it halfway through 2025
At this point they already know that the game is mostly dead, so they are just trying to milk everything they can, not even trying to ressurect the game. I´ll not be surprised if they soon announce apex legends 2 or titanfall or something related to apex. It was 5 good years boys, GGs.
I have no problems with the store tabs. I have a problem with the ridiculous pricing of those skins and i hate those gamble events, that *force you* to gamble, if you want to have certain skins. Specially when you think about the fact, that you get an *full tripple A title* with hundreds or thousands(!) of free skins for the same price as 2-3 of those store skins in apex and *5x tripple A titles* for the price of *one* useless purely cosmetic item that is just there for looks. (heirlooms that aren't even that rare or special anymore) You can purchase 5-30 *full* indie games with hundreds or thousands of unique skins and items or boosters that actually do something in those games for the same prices as items like those mythic heirlooms. This is the real problem. The pricing of those *purely cosmetic* items/skins. They should cost 1-2$. Not 18$ per item/skin.
This was going to happen no matter what when EA is running the show. We all saw what they did with Battlefront 2 at launch. They just hid their intentions with Apex for the first few years to avoid the shitstorm and rode on the good reputation that Respawn had with Titanfall 2.
They're not the only ''Gacha Game'' doing this... A lot of gacha games are increasing their values and ignoring a lot of issues because the ma rketers believes cosmetics, characters and whatever else thats behind a paywall is way more important than the state of the game.... Got bugs? Screw that!! here's a new character that you can enjoy.
People really need to stop and get off of the copium inhalers and injectors Apex can't be saved. And it's been like this for many seasons now. Each new season I hear "this is make or break for Apex", and every few months it's the same story It's ran by Respawn, that belongs to EA. EA dictates stuff, yeah, but Respawn also don't do things that they need to and can do. for example, they open a new studio that will focus specifically on the game improvements, and then they re-organize it into a studio that focuses on making new cosmetics. And look what Respawn did with titanfall before Apex, they just abandoned the game. Yeah the game was pretty bad and there was no content, but they left it still. And then they were quiet about the hackers basically controlling the whole game, for years. So both EA and Respawn are to blame for Apex. Respawn can't fix the game, and EA just pushes the greed further and further But people keep buying into it every time and I just can't believe it Apex players are actually dumber than moths flying into lamps and burning themselves
Had to Uninstall this game cause it's just ridiculous how u have so many microtransactions is stupid, they have no idea that we pay for power for the house, pay for internet to use the Xbox which I also pay the subscription to go online and now they charge me for skins and other stupid nonsense, apex legends is dead
Great video novel also what's the chances of getting an apex epic pack and get to legendry skins and nothing purple also got my 3rd loom as more packs this season
Tbh...I don't have any issue with monetization, since Its not like I can't play if I don't spend money on it.....the problem lies elsewhere, like not attending to the game itself. The terrible servers, SBMM, lack of gamemodes are the main reason the game is failing, and cheaters(even tho cheat issue is truly a hard cookie everywhere).
Thats the problem. They prioritized monetization over addressing all those issues you listed. If they addressed thoses issues and the game was in a healthy state with a happy playerbase, monetization would be well earned.
I'm just hoping for titanfall 3 or even titanfall apex Im one of the people who liked Apex but it's so bad how EA killed it so everyone gets ready for titanfall
The gameplay can be saved with straight shot revival. Its honestly the best gamemode they have ever released and since i got surprised today by seing it being back in rotation, i directly played it again. *For context:* I mostly get f*cked by the matchmaker. 0-300 damage per game and 0-3 kills. I am an casual solo queue player that plays for fun. Not for sweating in and getting 4k, 20 bomb badges or higher pred ranks. Meanwhile my enemies usually have diamond, master or multiple times pred badges, 10-200k kills and average on 5x 20 bombs per day with 4-6k damage. My teammates on the other side are way worse then me in most pubs and ranked games. In straight shot revival, i played 2h today and got 75% of my games 500-1500 damage - sometimes even up to 2.5k! - and 5-10 kills with *finally* good teammates. Why is that? Probably cause sweats and cheaters stay out of this mode, since it is way harder to get 4k 20 bomb games with just 30 people and fixed spawns. So they stay in pubs and ranked. I *love* the fixed spawns, fighting *one* team off drop with well kitted guns and then searching the next team with just half the map being available. This was the first day since the last straight shot revival that i actually had fun 75-90% of the games i have played. Specially with the void relic additions and almost no sweats. They really need to make this an permanent mode for casual players like me, that don't want to sweat in and just want to have fun. If every day runs like this, i will actually return to apex and play way more then before. - instead of playing 4h in a row to get pissed again and then quitting the game for another week.
lost interest on playing apex after season 21 and as long as Apex remains under EA the game will die and it makes me sad because i would really wanna play again
Keep straight shot revival with the matchmaker as it was for me today and i will keep playing this game for a few hours daily, cause i had *fun* for the first time since straight shot revival was the last time in rotation. I'm a casual player, so it was very relieving to see almost no sweats in my rounds today.
My first reaction to subscription plans was "so it plans you originally had for battlepass change just presented differently" Titianfall fans did warn Apex fans that EA will end up treating Apex same way they treated Titianfall and maybe there was a community from another game EA tried to warn Titianfall fans and now it looks like Apex community will warn the next community of EA new hit game EA has it triait end up clear as day
Reality is, game is dying on pc but console still maintains around 15M players weekly lol. Most people over at console just don’t see what’s going on because they probably come home from their 9-5 play some games, spend some money and call it a night. It’s the sad reality. People are still buying things this is why we have 9 store tabs.
I hope you're right. But for me 6 years for a shooter with 1 mode only is not a bad result. And it seems like ea and respawn agree. Full milking mode until they move on to the next chapter (titanfall please). Just don't buy anything, that's it
Game might be dying but after 5 years I finally broke through masters and hit pred. They just be letting anyone in there this season it’s fucking crazy easy RP
its funny because they don't learn. Its not hard to make this game profitable and good again, but at this point i'm enjoying the dumpster fire. I'll be a little sad to see it go because it was truly a wonderful game, but EA being in charge this was bound to happen.
i have spent 1500 dollars on this god forsaken game and ea keeps ruining everything this is why ea cant even make good games nomore and i bet the same thing is gonna happen to tital fall 3 and skate 4
My thoughts on the only way to save the game is honestly - Most of the newer legends need to be removed as the game has moved too far away from abilities being used tactically, to just being about movement. All the original legend abilities were all very simple mechanics, whilst the newer legends have abilities that completely turn battles more into who is able to use their abilities faster - Skins need to stop being made, and many of the newer skins should just be removed as their aesthetic has become far too flashy, ugly and generic, and making new skins that fit in the classic titanfall vibe is impossible as making new, original skins will become impossible at some point anyway. The player focus is drawn too much into materialism instead of just silly fun - Battlepass should honestly just be removed as it pulls too much player focus into materialism instead of just having plain fun- players just end up playing to get more stuff instead of experiencing something fun - The matchmaking system would need a serious rework, as extremely many lobbies end up being filled with smurfs and twitch streamers, creating an immense skill gap - Maps need to be reverted into a style more similar to S0 kings canyon (again, titanfall vibe), as the newer maps are simply far too flashy in a non aesthetic way Of course Respawn would never do this, and Apex Legends really has reached a point of no return
Nah I think it’s more like Fortnite total you of there store and how it going to go but apex is trying to sneak it by like that not what we are doing totally
A free to play game is pushing cosmetics? Say it ain't so! Your illiteracy is showing. Please go play fortnite or CoD since you clearly hate Apex so much.
yes, they definitely have to give you all this for free, but what it is, they made a free game and just add skins for money, because this is the easiest way to get them from players, but this is bad because they add content with it that people always ignore, crybabies
Show the entire player base numbers. Apex is actually doing just fine my man. Over 17 million players logged on in just past 24 hours. Steam charts don't show much brother. Apex is very, very far from being dead. I do wish things were cheaper in the shops but every free to play game is going to try to make money somehow.. you don't like the games monetization style of a game then no one is holding you hostage to buy anything... Just play the game and have fun?
It's not the fact that they're trying to make money. It's the fact that they prioritize making money or "monetize" the game over things the game really needs such as engine upgrades, bug fixes (such as audio), matchmaking, content, etc. They also still only use 20hz servers when games like Roblox use 128 hz servers which isn't a HUGE problem for me since I have crazy good internet (bullets will still hit me around corners like in the movie Wanted released in 2009) but not everyone does. Apex legends has made over $3.4 BILLION in its life span yet it's simple things a big company like EA should be able to address/fix. Day one player here and I've seen things that have worked from the start that will be broken way too late in Apex's lifespan all of a sudden like when last season (season 22) dropped, ziplines were a bit broken. Why? They've been working fine from the start, why'd they break now? I don't care about them wanting to make money. That's fine. It's the fact that it holds an EXTREMELY high priority over everything else and simple things that a big game like Apex should have. Of course I'll play the game because I love it but it's a damn shame too see where EA have their priorities.
Yeah just settle for no meaningful changes and continue to get preyed on… OGs know better than to settle for this half baked bait. Also like to know where you think millions of people logged on in 24 hours lol

Bros favorite game is apex 😭😭😭😭
@ bro thinks he’s funny 😭😭😭😭😭
I’ve been saying that for the last 10+ years….
It can be saved EASILY by improving the matchmaking so the game is actually fun.
i like ratchet and clank

bro calling premium + the half of the battle pass 😭 ITS 2 FUCKING SKINS AND 10 SHARDS 😭
Its so over😢
Private equity kills everything
Few years ago game was called Apex Legends. Now it's called Battle Pass Ultimate, Money Legends, Cheater Legends..

This is what we wanted, it’s the only way for the next titanfall game. If it’s not paid then I’m done supporting respawn.
play titanfall guys amazing campaign and fun multiplayer and if you're lucky it might be on sale
BP is done and milestones done
You know the day they stop trying to selling you something on a new season and try to fix all the bugs and problems then this game might survive

Maybe it’s not about what they add but what they remove…
there might be a lot of store tabs but there are even more cheaters in every ranked game
Yo can the whole Community just Nominate R5 reloaded for the game awards
Can't nominate a mod
I hope you're right. But for me 6 years for a shooter with 1 mode only is not a bad result. And it seems like ea and respawn agree. Full milking mode until they move on to the next chapter (titanfall please). Just don't buy anything, that's it

Game cannot be saved because devs are trying to kill it.

havent played since Valk released
why the shop looking like it belongs to Fortnite

9 Store tabs that NO ONE IS BEING FORCED TO BUY. Guess what? They wouldn't be there if people weren't buying them. So who's really at fault?
Yet they admitted they financially underperformed?😭💀

Yep, loving the new lifeline and the new meta❤
Best video bro❤❤
Let me know when it gets better for console
8:14 what song is on the background please?
Subscription is okay for fortnite BCZ ITS DOESNT HAVE FUCKING LOOTBOXES. Apex does have lootboxes.
Nah I think it’s more like Fortnite total you of there store and how it going to go but apex is trying to sneak it by like that not what we are doing totally
They killed titanfall 2 so we kill apex boycot it
Horrible thumbnail but good video 😂
just play valorant.. I have eight heirlooms and had no problem leaving that game season 18
Honestly if they are gonna add skins from the battle pass season 10 onwards might as well add all the skins before season 10
The game is already ded , try finals it's really fun
