Damn, and the game pretty much shadow dropped with very little marketing. It's crazy what word of mouth tied to a good game can do.
Just wish they'd figure out a way to incorporate quads so I can get back into it without leaving someone from my group out. :(

It's a fifth or sixth of what Fortnite is making but still decent!
I'd be very curious to know how much of that spending is coming from Japan.

Apex is the rare example of a game coming in while another giant in the genre (Fortnite, kind of) was reigning and while another came along (Warzone) and still is extremely successful. What are the key reasons why? Besides being fun to play of course.
Makes sense. I fell off of Warzone pretty hard and swapped over to Apex. Too many hackers, exploits, performance issues etc. on PC to really be worth playing, not to mention absolutely having to play within a really specific meta.
Apex just the best BR out there. I still have problems, but the game has polish for sure.

I still think Apex is too unsatisfying because of the player count/third partying and Im still hoping they can incorporate a solo mode. There's an untapped market in solo mode
I like the map variety though.

Fun, on every platform, doesn't feel terribly monetized if youre f2p, consistent updates and variety. Steam support.
Yep.
I wonder what Respawn leaders do differently than others.
What a steal, Zampella must have got a hell of a loose contract and major bonuses. Funny as they couldn't get away from EA fast enough.
I think Apex's success can be pinned to how accessible it is for casuals while simultaneously being deep enough to capture a hardcore competitive audience.
It's kind of amazing how easy it is to jump into a match as a new player and have dumb fun while also offering unquestionably the highest skill ceiling of any BR currently out. They cater to both audiences extremely well (despite what both sides of the equation probably say about the other).

for sure - respawn is a tremendously well run , well operated studio
This is why I think most FPS games nowadays need a BR mode of some kind. It's like not having a death match mode back in the day.
It's more than enough content when you factor that Respawn is also working on 4 other games instead of shutting down everything and only make content for Apex.
They don't have Epic Games or Warzone's support studios pumping content left and right.
I haven't played a BR in years but maybe I'll go back to Apex. It really was the funnest of the bunch.
So? Im not asking for a Fortnite level content cadence, I'm asking for more content other than 1 POI change on an existing map and just a new legend.
The casual FPS market is big enough for a couple of these big games to coexist. Many other genres are not this way.
"Just a new legend" lol
Yes because creating a new character and balancing it with other 15 characters is nothing right?
Stop putting words into my mouth. I expressed that the content was lacking because compared to previous seasons, IT IS. Meanwhile they had a bunch of "please spend money" events in the last 6-8 weeks of the previous season that were basically nothing. I work in software development I know how the shit works. I still play the game and give them more than enough money habitually that doesnt mean that this seasons content isn't lacking compared to previous.
The GOAT BR for me and mine. Everything feels so smooth - the TF dna is on full display and they at least put in real ass effort for balance...
poor lifeline tho - shafted hard this season lol
