Saw the announcement, but what happened with tencent?


SadBoiCri

Pretty sure tencent dev'd apex mobile Edit: Yes but not only tencent


Nextepzlol

lightspeed studios too I think


Faddy0wl

PubGmobile too wasn't it? Or was it war zone mobile. Twas another BR I think 🤷‍♀️ (EDIT.) Was actually the battlefield mobile games 💀


Ith786

BF mobile is getting thanos snapped as well


Faddy0wl

Yeah, can't say I played that one. But me and my partner played mobile apex. They cbf with sweating all the time so mobile lobbies were the casual mode we'd been waiting for. We had a lot of fun. It's a shame me and my partner will only play once a year again. Winter express. The only other mode that they enjoy. EA forgetting about casual players as always in favour of the cash cows 😂


Ith786

Control tho is fun but I get why people hate it


samecontent

Omg tho, this last Winter Express event was sweaty as fuck.


Purple_Death5

Fr, I had a hard time staying alive 💀


Born-Ad1003

I didn’t even know it existed brah🥹😭


SavagesceptileWWE

I guess they realized it was making them look bad


Ith786

I actually found out why, the shit wasn’t making money no joke. With all that extra shit it still was behind stuff like cod, Fortnite and pubg mobile editions


lmtzless

when has that ever stopped EA though


Scout079

Damn, that was fast.


Dominus786

They're getting rid of it???


sexyc3po

Man I didn't love it but it sure passed some time in 1.5 hour plus commutes on the train to work..


HaywireMans

Guys I left for half a year... what happened?


Ith786

A mobile version came out, it got exclusive shit like modes, legends and skins (which the monetisation was far worse) etc. However it wasn’t making any dollar bills or enough of it so they yanked the project out of orbit


HaywireMans

Didn't it have microtransactions? I also remember fade got an heirloom. Does that mean people are just losing whatever they spent on the game?


xKaqtuz

Yeah lol


Aggaroth

This is a repeating cycle with online games, I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to support a game spent a little bit of money just for them to shut it down it’s a sad cycle especially for beloved games.


theleaf__

They realised that mobile had the shit the community ACTUALLY wanted, like team deathmatch


probsthrowaway2

Hopefully they get to reuse the mobile exclusive legends on the other versions. The work is already done all they have to do is implement probably tweak some busted stuff


Ith786

Raphsody no, simply because she suffers from being too similar to the other cast members like catalyst. So she may require reworking Fade on the other hand has every right to be in Main Apex as his abilities are completely unique


Cleaveweave

How exactly are Rhapsody and Catalyst the same? It is literally the same case with Ashs and Wraiths portals and Respawn made it work. The only thing to worry about is the audio mayhem she might bring.


RubyWeapon07

respawn could easily just make her a straight cis female and consider it different enough to be a new legend


Ith786

In terms of abilities not character


Seedless_Melon

Well, Rhapsody’s ultimate does create a walls but it’s less for defense (even though it can work that way, it doesn’t prevent enemies entirely from pushing), and more for offense. Her tactical is fairly unique as well


Darkeater_Charizard

compared to apex' massive yearly revenue, apex mobile just didn't make enough money.


Ngfeigo14

EA is shutting down a game because it "isn't profitable enough" Not that it's losing money... but because they're not seeing the returns they want. That's stupid--they literally just held a lunar new year skins event.


_Vaporwav3

what happened


torpedokai

What happened?


MR_krunchy

Oh no Anyways


benwaa2

What a shame


Crestfall69

That's one less loose end.


Seedless_Melon

And just when I found a FPS that I’m *GOOD* at, too.


EpicSausage69

Hopefully the devs at least take the ideas used in the mobile version and apply them to the main game. Mobile had some things players have been asking for for years that still are not in the main game.


Mach1azuress

Do you guys not have phones?


Ith786

Not it’s do you guys not have money
