    From Jeff Grubb:

    To clarify, I’ve been told the layoffs are more than just Respawn and are similar to last year’s February layoff where 670 people were cut. I don’t know the exact number.

    But yeah, I’m sure continuing to chase live service as though you’ll ever get Apex Legends to be as successful as it once was will totally work out.

    EDIT: furthermore, he says:

    Apex Legends and EA Sports FC both missed harder than people realize. Dragon Age barely registers in this.

      I remember Apex Legends being pretty fun when it came out; did something happen or was it just EA being EA?

        Controller aim assist is too much of an aimbot which made all the russians turn their hacks on and it’s just controllers vs cheaters and some nolifers in this game these days, not fun at all for most casual players

        They’d gotten especially cash grabby since I had started playing and then they disabled Linux and Steam Deck compatibility using them as the scapegoats for their inability to fix their shitty anti-cheat. News flash, there’s still a bunch of cheaters because the cheats are made for Windows players.
