This leads people to believe these comments today are what has been planned for a while, and we hope the team is now ready to take action.

Ryan Rigney, head of comms at Respawn acknowledged sweetdreams post, and although they don't agree on everything, a conversation needed to be had for players to express their feeling to the Apex Legends team.
