Apex Legends developers spark outrage after calling gamers “dicks”, “ass-hats”and “freeloaders” Benjamin Wareing Follow Aug 18 · 4 min read.
Users of the Apex Legends subreddit were left shocked and outraged last night as two Respawn developers called gamers “dicks”, suggested they were “ass-hats” and described them as “freeloaders” in unfiltered public comments.
In one public comment responding to a reddit user, dk05 wrote: “Hey everyone – found the dick I was talking about.”.
dk05 wrote in a separate comment: “I’ve been in the industry long enough to remember when players weren’t complete ass-hats to developers and it was pretty neat.”.
When one user tried to clarify DK05’s statement calling gamers “dicks”, the developer wrote: “I think technically I was calling gamers dicks?
With a slowing growth in the player base as gamers gravitate towards alternate battle royales such as Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty’s Blackout and Battlefield’s Firestorm, it’s difficult to understand the benefit behind the Apex Legends developer’s divisive comments.
