Apex Legends players have called for others to stop playing the game altogether over EA layoff and in-game transaction controversies.

According to articles I've seen recently, EA has been laying off employees and plans on replacing some Apex Legends devs with AI in order to increase ingame micro transactions.

Because of this, according to the second link, some players have begun boycotting the game and EA, along with no longer playing the game altogether.

I honestly haven't played the game since the beginning of Breakout, so I could get cosmetics from the anniversary event 💀

But, if what these articles say is true, then I plan on not spending any more money on EA altogether tbh.

If you play the Sims 4, I have a link to a DLC unlocker. I'll link it below. It's by someone in the Sims 4 tumblr community, so there's no need to go any sketchy websites.

I use this and highly recommend using it if you play the game as well. All the Sims 4 DLC combined (kits, packs, etc.) would cost well over a thousand dollars, and no one has that kind of money to be spending on games in this economy 💀

If I find out any more info, I'll try my best to keep this post updated.

🫣 sorry, I have to do this anonymously, but! The thing about them laying off Apex/EA employees for AI is 1000% false! I work there, I know who was fired, and I know why. There were reasons that I can’t state, but it definitely wasn’t due to AI, promise!!

This is very interesting! If you find any articles/sources that are more accurate as to why, feel free to send a link through another anon ask.
