Many game developers make no secret of wanting consumer cash at frequent intervals through expansions or special events, like Hearthstone or Fortnite , but those games hardly ever receive backlash in contrast because there is no deception there.

Algorithms are extremely tough to master, especially when it comes to a software product that’s still relatively new, like Apex Legends .

The issue with the reaction from a player base is that it is most often a small minority of highly-vocal users, and there is little to be done about that, but it remains true that they will bang the drums the loudest if not content with how developers treat their games. With careful planning in how news is announced, developers can avoid almost all controversy, or like Respawn, they can choose to insult their players, resulting in the CEO needing to make a public, and embarrassing apol<br><br> <br>Another master of intel, Bloodhound feels like he should be higher on the list for how fun he is on World’s Edge.
