Just because a game does big numbers doesn't mean it's a good fit for us to talk about on the podcast. Candy Crush and Monopoly Go make tons more money too, but they're not a good fit for our audience aside from quick mentions in sales reports. Aside from that, our coverage is largely a reflection of what we're into. It's about that point where the things that we're into cross with what our audience is into. None of us are into Apex Legends, so it simply isn't going to come up all that often. Isla has gotten into Warframe, so you're more likely to hear about that once in a while. That said, Alexander Zyryanov is very into Apex, and almost every month, he submits really solid videos about it in the Community Showcase. So be sure to check those out. -Bloodworth

2025-05-25 18:03:16 +0000 UTCYou guys haven't talked about anything Apex in forever, its the biggest ftp game and its had crazy seasons and amazing ALGS, its like a gaming outlet not covering Elden Ring DLC, and Apex has made way more money than Elden Ring or really any of the games you're talking about most the time. Love you just want my favorite on going game covered a little.
