Apex Legends might be one of the most cheated games in the market, and it is surprising that it still didn’t die. A new way to cheating was recently discovered, and it was the good old auto aim trick combined with a special joystick that would offset your inputs in such a way that it would be very hard to track you were actually using auto aim hacks. This was very clever, however people were starting to realize some players were too good to be true so they got busted. This is a reality that will always happen with these kinds of live service games, until they eventually become dead service games.
Apex Legends was a fad
It still surprises me how this game keeps giving news and Electronic Arts didn’t pull the plug just yet, the company has been hyper focused on trying to replace everyone and also sold themselves to the Saudi Arabia fund that might be even worse than Tencent. There’s no hope for this game, and they will obviously kill it as soon as some regulations like Stop Killing Games manage to be settled. There’s still discussions about what Stop Killing Games will do, but at least we have a counter lobby to push against terrible practices like this.
Apex Legends is clearly a big issue in the industry, but the people who worked on it deserve to be respected at least when it comes to the creation of assets. There’s tons of things and work that would be lost of Apex Legends disappears tomorrow, and if there’s a thing that hurts artists more is to see their work vanishing into nothingness. The Mona Lisa doesn’t suddenly disappear from a museum because it was some limited time offer, true art is timeless and ends up living with all of us forever.
