Apex Legends Lead Balance Designer Daniel Klein has confirmed he has been terminated by Respawn due to some of his controversial remarks in 2007.
Apex Legends holds a clear edge over other hero shooters thanks to its distinct class system and deeper, more strategic gameplay.
Titanfall 3 may not be on the cards for a while, but if it does happen, Apex Legends should be the game's most valuable stepping stone.
The Epic Games Store has two more freebies awaiting you right now.
His comments were horrible. No two ways about it. But it does seem like he actually made the effort to change and become a better person over the last 14 years. Normally I'm all for firing someone when they make these types of comments, but that's because they've usually never tried to be better until the comments go public.
I think EA should have used this opportunity to show people that if you change your ways and genuinely turn yourself around you can get a second chance. What they've effectively done is tell everyone that there's no point in trying to change because you'll end up with the same result anyway.
On top of that, his wife suffered a miscarriage due to the stress this has caused. What a terrible and sad situation.
The only reason this dirt got released was because of how broken Seer is and his comments claiming something that wasn't true prior to his release. He's got a giant thread on kiwifarms even. There's a bunch of other humiliating dirt on him besides this, but it's not something you can get fired for. I don't agree he should've been fired if he changed since that point, especially since it was 14 fricking years ago, many players on Apex weren't even born then. To also have his wife suffer a miscarriage all because he can't balance a video game right is downright evil, but I doubt anyone involved in the firing would've ever wanted or expected that. Just a series of mistakes lead to this tragic outcome.
Working in the US today is a dangerous affair.
i love everything he said
Things like this are so stupid. This was 14 years ago. People change and for all we know this can come from someone in highschool. I cant believe someone can lose their job from something so minor. It was a different time and a different person. Grow The Fuck Up.
