Former EA employee responds to Apex Legends \u2018No Apex August\u2019 boycott plans Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are trying to organize a boycott of the popular battle royale, leading to a former EA employee responding to players\u2019 concerns. Apex Legends has its fair share of game-breaking bugs and exploits problems like many other games. However, the community on Reddit has had enough and is looking to organize a day to \u201cstrike\u201d from the game. While there are doubts that a boycott could even come to fruition, some are even proposing \u201cNo Apex August\u201d, hoping that a significant decrease in the game\u2019s active player count is enough to prompt change. However, a former EA employee has spoken out and shut down dreams that Respawn will ultimately fix the game and take things seriously. In a Reddit thread posted on July 6, Apex Legends player Reza_SL proposed that the community partake in a boycott called \u201cNo Apex August.\u201d Unfortunately, many believe the idea is too optimistic and simply wouldn\u2019t even make a dint when compared to the rest of the player base. \u201cThis is all never going to happen and I guarantee Respawn and EA won\u2019t even notice,\u201d said one. \u201cMaybe I\u2019m missing something. It\u2019s a free-to-play game. Why not just stop buying from the apex shop,\u201d another fan suggested. Furthermore, the community\u2019s hope was then shut down, as a former EA employee shared their thoughts. \u201cI know players are frustrated with the bugs and everything. I just wanna say something as a former QA tester that used to work at EA. \u201cRespawn is the developer, EA is the publisher. Devs always has to listen to publisher no matter what, because they pay the devs their salary,\u201d said the former EA employee. \u201cDev teams are almost always gamers themselves, they are probably as frustrated as we are when it comes to the state of the game. \u201cPublishers are always a bunch of old businessmen, they don\u2019t play games, they don\u2019t care about the game, it\u2019s profit that they care about,\u201d the QA tester added. \u201cFrustrated developers often always quit their jobs if they feel that they are not able to convince the publisher otherwise. At this point, I think it is almost impossible to make EA care about the state of the games unless there is a change in leadership.\u201d The comment from the former QA tester certainly gave a lot of context to what happens behind the scenes in game development. \u201cWhat you said is much easier to understand. Thank you. It is always the guys with the money who have control,\u201d replied one fan. Sadly, for now, we can only pray that the developers fix the persistent issues before the start of Season 14 in early August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
