I was gonna get snooty about being an indie game buyer, then I remembered that I bought a Larian game developed in partnership with Hasbro, so my snootiness will have to wait for another day.

This is why we need copyright laws
In a sensible world we would not allow our society to steal the work of artists and then throw away the artist.
Haven't played since they removed Linux support. Will never play again.
Apex legends? The fully online battle Royale style competitive shooter? Can anyone tell me why a game like this needs a "character writer" anyway? I've never played it so maybe there's some grand story I don't know about, but to me this sounds like writing a character for Counter Strike which I think we all agree would be completely pointless.
I'll try to explain, I'm not a specialist in the lore of Apex legends. But the game is based in the world of Titanfall. It released in 2019 with a few characters. Each 1 or 2 season bringing a new characters with new abilities and background in the story. They have done a pretty good job so far and I really enjoy each characters.
CS at least back in the day didn't have a class based gameplay, each characters had the same abilities. So I guess it doesn't really compare.
It's more like asking why you need a writer for an Overwatch character than CS. The characterization is half of the point and, more importantly, sales on cosmetics, compared to CS/Halo/MW/Whatever
