Apex Legends content creator under fire after claiming \u201cnobody cares\u201d about the game in 2023 EAIt\u2019s no secret that Apex Legends has seen better days. Once a superstar of the battle royale genre, the game has seen a troubling decline in player and viewer counts of late. However, content creator \u2018ottr\u2019 has come under fire for pointing out the struggles, with some fans fighting back against the claims. Content creator Ottr has taken to Twitter, sounding the death knell for the game. Yet, in doing so, they\u2019ve sparked a wildfire of responses and drawn attention to the real issues plaguing the Apex community. \u201cWhen I say Apex is dead I mean it,\u201d Ottr tweeted on July 5. \u201cViews are down on every platform, for every creator. Smaller creators have been quitting, it\u2019s just a matter of fact before the bigger ones do as well. \u201cNobody cares about Apex anymore. The new season has to get interest up more than ever, or the game is over,\u201d he claimed. And the numbers seem to agree with Ottr\u2019s grim prophecy. Twitch stats for July show a 21% decline in concurrent viewers from the previous month, rounding out to an average of 30.9K viewers. Over on Steam Charts, the player base in June dropped by a staggering 17.04% compared to May. Ottr\u2019s tweet wasn\u2019t mere speculation. Yet, not everyone shares Ottr\u2019s point of view. \u2018Apex Navy,\u2019 another Twitter user, argued that the cycle of love and hate for the game is nothing new: \u201cSomeone says this every single season\u2026 It\u2019s actually annoying.\u201d Another user, \u2018Thordan Smash,\u2019 admitted to noticing a drop in views, but refrained from calling it a death knell for the game. But perhaps the most damning of the feedback comes from the game\u2019s own community. Reddit user \u2018imnew- highlighted\u2018 how flawed matchmaking and a discouraging experience for casual players is hurting the game. Echoing this sentiment, user \u2018MrPheeney\u2019 suggested that the game has \u201cgiven up on matchmaking in general.\u201d Another, sking74, added the persisting issue of third-party cheating devices into the mix. Only time will tell whether Apex Legends is on its last legs or if the upcoming season will breathe new life into the battle royale game. Whatever the outcome, Ottr\u2019s tweet has sparked a critical conversation around the game\u2019s future and drawn attention to the real issues the community wants addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
