On the one hand it sucks that a writer lost their job. And it'll never not suck. On the other hand I love when Apex Legends looks bad. I lost Titanfall 3 for that?

In a better universe apex and tf3 could have existed at the same time

Unfortunately we live in the universe where games as a live service is the only model that big companies run on, which means all resources must go to just that one game
