<br>It's reasonable to imagine those 10 players spend much more time playing Apex Legends than others. To give you an idea of how this might shape out, it's worth noting that out of my 100 Xbox friends who play Apex Legends the most, one has played more than 3,050 hours. He's the game's overall 20th ranked player based on player level ( as calculated prior to the changes made in the game's most recent update ), according to TRN's Apex Legends Tracker . The friend with the second-most time in the game is also a strong player but has logged only 1700 ho<br><br> <br>Despite speculation that Electronic Arts would shut down game studio BioWare after back-to-back flops Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem , Kotaku’s Jason Schreier recently published an article claiming the beloved studio is alive and kicking .

He covers aim optimization and movement strategies, as well as more basic concepts like high-ground advantages and peeking tactics.

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>Destiny 2 may not have quite as many players as other major games, but its community is passionate.

For instance, the developer of DARQ turned down an exclusivity agreement with Epic Games because of his principles. He was aware of the free advertising his game had received in the years leading up to the release of the game on Steam, and he had reaffirmed his release on that platform days before being approached by Epic Games.
