But I am looking forward to the division.
Not sure about that one. Apex pulls together successful and good features from a wide variety of games and plugs in their own all into a BR and it does it well. I hardly see Apex dying or losing droves of players anytime soon. Especially if they put out new content at any decent pace. As for the Division 2 - I had fun playing the beta but at the same time it basically felt like just more Division and while that isn't a bad thing and expected cause it IS the sequel, Anthem feel's a bit more "fresh". Both I suspect will do well though. I'll wait an see more of what Division 2 has in store.
The staying power has yet to be determined, and F2P games generally garner large amounts of registrations. Even F2P migrations of previously box-priced games see large amounts of incoming players (CS:GO doubled their "unique players" to 20 million the month after their F2P transition, and the game isn't FOTM BR and is over six years old).
Apex is making a great splash. We just gotta see how well it floats after the waters settle.
As for Apex, I actually gave it a spin last night despite hating BR games. I had a decent enough time playing a few matches. Game feels polished, controls well, seems to be well thought out for what it is. Given that, I dont see myself playing it much as i prefer an old fashioned death match with respawning and the map not shrinking.
