Respawn Entertainment Harassment Explained
Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment issued a statement today calling for the community to stop harassing staff members. It is unclear what specific incident prompted Respawn to issue this statement, though the relationship between Respawn Entertainment and the Apex Legends community has not been wholly positive.
Founded by former Infinity Ward developers, Respawn Entertainment is known for the Titanfall series, its hero-shooter spinoff Apex Legends, and the action RPG Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Many Titanfall fans have criticized Respawn for seemingly abandoning the series in favor of the live-service spinoff. The hero-shooter also faces regular criticism for its bugs and unbalanced classes. However, some of this feedback appears to have crossed the line into personal attacks on Respawn employees.

Respawn says that “We welcome community input, however, the line between constructive feedback and the harassment of our dev team cannot be crossed.” Respawn Entertainment went on to reiterate its zero-tolerance policy toward threats and harassment.
The statement warns that the studio takes its employee’s health and safety very seriously and will take the “appropriate action” in response to further harassment. However, the statement concludes with Respawn saying it appreciates community feedback. The studio says that it hopes “to foster a respectful, collaborative environment and uphold the competitive integrity of the game.”
