Apex Legends player count soars, #NoApexAugust boycott flops YouTube: Apex LegendsSome Apex Legends players tried to organize a #NoApexAugust boycott to get the developers\u2019 attention. However, player counts have only increased since. Apex Legends Season 14 is right around the corner, and hype for the game has been reignited within Apex\u2019s massive player base. However, some longtime fans of Apex Legends have attempted to start a #NoApexAugust boycott campaign to get Respawn\u2019s attention. The point of this campaign is to convince Respawn that spending more time on polishing their game is important, and that working through some of the bugs in Apex Legends is just as important as releasing new content. Since the start of August, Apex Legends\u2019 player count on Steam has only risen. Granted, 7000 or so additional players isn\u2019t a huge increase when compared to the over 330,000 concurrent players at peak hours, but it means the #NoApexCampaign isn\u2019t going great. We only have access to Steam charts here, but, considering that Steam is such a prolific platform for PC gaming, this increase in player count holds a lot of weight. It\u2019s also important to consider that the new content for Season 14 hasn\u2019t even been added yet. Sweeping, game-changing buffs and nerfs are coming soon, along with a new Legend, Vantage, and a new and improved Skull Town. The player count is only going to go up with the new season\u2019s introduction. Why should we be boycotting Apex Legends? While it may seem strange for avid fans of Apex Legends to boycott the game with the #NoApexAugust trend, what they\u2019re asking for isn\u2019t exactly unprecedented. For example, Rainbow 6 Siege\u2019s \u201cOperation Health\u201d paused the addition of new content to the game in favor of putting as much development time as possible into fixing long-standing bugs. Despite Rainbow 6 being light on new content for a while, Ubisoft\u2019s focus on the long-term gameplay experience was well regarded by the Siege community. Those who have rallied behind the #NoApexAugust movement are asking for the Apex Legends version of Operation Health. It\u2019s hard to argue against Apex having its fair share of glitches, too like the levitating Seer ultimate. The failure of the #NoApexAugust boycott doesn\u2019t mean that these bugs will never get fixed. However, it does show that most of the playerbase doesn\u2019t care enough about these issues to stop playing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
