I’m sure everybody reading here has a horror story of somehow seeing an account wiped, but I can’t remember the last time it happened to quite so many people in such a huge online game.
Players of EA’s Apex Legends are the latest to log into the horror of a blank account following a minor patch today that appears to have gone very much awry. It’s not entirely clear just how many accounts are affected, but based on Reddit, it looks like a lot.
“We are aware and looking into the issue with accounts losing their progress after the update today. Will provide update ASAP,” Respawn tweeted. “Until the issue has been resolved we recommend players do not buy or craft anything. We’ll continue to provide updates, along with an ETA, as information comes in.”
