T-Pain has come to the defense of ApexLegends developers following their harassment online.
Social media has provided gamers an opportunity to connect with developers in a way that would have been inconceivable just a decade or two ago. Unfortunately, many have abused that opportunity, using it instead to harass others, including Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment. Earlier this month, Respawn put out a statement defending its employees and pledging to"take appropriate action" against those that harass members of its staff.
While video games evoke a lot of passion from players, it's important to remember that the games we love are made by real people. Video game development is a difficult and time-consuming process, and burn out is a very real risk for employees. Harassment online makes these employees much less likely to want to engage with the fan community as well. Hopefully T-Pain's comments will provide some much-needed perspective for those that mistreat developers and their employees online.
