I disagree on Apex Legends doing well. The only reason it rose to popularity is because they paid popular streamers (ninja) millions of dollars to play their game during the launch. The timing behind Apex Legends release couldn’t be better because their biggest rival, Fortnite, had a lot of users upset because the game was making changes that didn’t appeal to them hence why they switched to Apex, they wanted a break & wanted something fresh. However, after a month those same big streamers that were paid $1,000,000 to play the game after the release, gave up on Apex & have now switched back to Fortnite after significant changes to the map & game were made. Those streamers continuously play & stream with 15,000+ viewers consistently on Fortnite.
