What’s up folks and welcome to another episode of Kings Canyon Radio - An Apex Legends Podcast. This week’s episode brings a little more heat than a typical episode but I do feel it is justified with the current state of the event. The Iron Crown event IS whale bait disguised as an event. There were many updates provided that don't talk about in this episode due to it be recorded before they went up but i feel the need to include them in the description for continuity reasons. Some respawn entertainment developers on Reddit decided to respond to users in an unprofessional manner. Some of the comments were disgusting but I personally don’t think it’s necessary for respawn to shrink down to the same level as the scumbags online. Vince Zampella shouldn't have to come out and apologize on behalf of some members of staff for being unprofessional.
Any personal comments directed at anyone is not okay and I completely understand wanting to attack back but that never works when you're in a position like Respawn is. PR companies exist for a reason and it’s for reasons like this. You can't expect players to want to pay 180 dollars or more on one event and expect everyone to act in a civil manner, nor can you if you respond by calling players freeloaders/ explicit.
After this recent disaster which was completely avoidable, I'm unsure if I will continue this podcast. On one hand I love making the show and it's doing pretty well thanks to you the listener but on the other hand, do I want to support a game that not only doesn't respect my time as a player but also neither does the developers. There'll be at least one more episode but for now, I need to reflect on the future of Kings Canyon Radio.
