Apex Legends Season 15 is finally here and players can finally experience everything the new season has to offer. However, some members of the community have complained about some of EA\u2019s decisions surrounding the battle royale, like the inclusion of cosmetic stickers and the lack of involvement in banning cheaters. Now, Apex Legends streamer NICKMERCS has come to EA\u2019s defense, claiming that the company is \u201ctrying\u201d to steer the battle royale in the right direction. NICKMERCS defends Apex Legends publisher EA In his recent YouTube video titled \u201cFinally Being Honest About Gaming\u201d NICKMERCS took the time to address what he thinks about the Apex communities complaints about the current state of the game. NICKMERCS said he \u201cunderstands\u201d why pro players and fans are upset when their long-held complaints aren\u2019t met at the start of each new season. However, he defended EA and Respawn by reminding viewers the company has continuously provided new content. \u201cOn the other hand, [players] are getting new maps and they\u2019re getting all this new stuff \u2014 a lot of these things they haven\u2019t asked for but they\u2019re still getting new sh*t.\u201d He then went on to say that the community can clearly see that \u201cEA is trying,\u201d and brought up the example of EA\u2019s efforts in the competitive Apex Legends scene. The Apex streamer also reminded fans that it\u2019s also a \u201cgive-and-take\u201d and that the majority of the criticism levied at EA comes down to \u201cAh, [Apex] is dogsh*t,\u201d which he deems is not real criticism. Additionally, he defended Respawn\u2019s creative work as of late and said a lot of them are \u201cworking hard,\u201d as evidenced by the recent Broken Moon map, new cosmetics, and character lore. At the same time, NICKMERCS acknowledged that some of the community\u2019s complaints have been valid and that EA has failed to address them for some time, citing Respawn\u2019s lack of manpower when it comes to banning cheaters. \u201cHow do they not have a team on payroll around the clock just working to try and combat [cheating?] There should be a whole wing of the company for anti-cheat. It\u2019s just they don\u2019t care enough.\u201d NICKMERCS ended the discussion by reaffirming that while there are some valid complaints he believes quality updates like Season 15\u2019s content matter at the end of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS defends EA after Apex Legends community criticisms Respawn Entertainment \/ Scuf Gaming: NickmercsStreamer and Apex Legends content creator NICKMERCS has defended EA and Respawn\u2019s development efforts following community criticism.
