Can't argue against this. Until Respawn can match Epic's update pace, at least in terms of content if not balance changes, there's no way Apex can really "dethrone" Fortnite and sustain the lead.
Thankfully, the game is still a blast to play, and I don't require a carrot-on-a-stick to keep playing. I've definitely not played as much since the first month (Sekiro consumed my life for 2 weeks), but I'm back to playing at least 5+ games a day.
There will be new heroes, new weapons, and new maps, which are enough for me to stick around for the long run. I don't need Apex to be the industry leader!
