"Respawn&#8217;s Director of Communications, Ryan Rigney, has poured more cold water on the prospects of an &#8216;Operation Health&#8217; season in Apex Legends, explaining why it wouldn&#8217;t work for the Titanfall BR. \n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\nApex&#8217;s recent issues have been incredibly frustrating for both Respawn and the player base. Server issues – which it was hoped would be solved by September 22 – have dragged on and players on all platforms are still finding disconnects all too common.\nThe enduring problems have pushed a number of Apex Legends players to call for a season with no new content, purely focussing on solving the game&#8217;s bugs.\nIt is most comparable to Rainbow Six Siege&#8217;s Operation Health, which occurred back in the tactical FPS&#8217; Year Two.\nUbisoftOperation Health was a whole season dedicated to fixing Rainbow Six.\nWhile Respawn devs have expressed doubts in the past, Director of Communications Ryan Rigney seemed to confirm that it won&#8217;t be happening, explaining exactly why on September 23.\n\nRead More: NICKMERCS threatens to quit Apex Legends if another major crash happens\n\nThe conversation was sparked by Apex streamer BRose511, who said: &#8220;I think I can speak for a majority if not all of the apex community with this: We will take a season of 0 new content for the game to be properly balanced, servers fixed, and audio issues resolved.&#8221;\nHowever, Rigney responded: &#8220;Game dev simply doesn’t work this way. Devs aren’t villagers from Age of Empires that can all just be moved from “content creation” to “bug fixing.” IDK how else to explain this.&#8221;\n\nGame dev simply doesn’t work this way.

The Rainbow Six Siege example was a great marketing stunt tho. So was “Fix PUBG,” which I worked on.\n&mdash; Ryan K.
