“Apex is a dead game”, they all screeched, as the game supposedly on life support did Ironman numbers over the weekend! This week, we talk about Apex reaching a new all-time concurrent player peak on Steam, #NoApexNovember (and its less-clever name #NoApexAugust), how to adjust the controversial new ring changes, and our thoughts on Season 14, now that we’ve had a week to play with the new toys!
