>>21146253Japanese people love lore. Apex devs post lore clips and unique characters.
Multiple characters = gives a variety of playstyle = game won't get too stale
Looting = downtime = stealth zatsudan
Lootbox = gacha pull = clippable
If they win/clutch = clippable
Reaching a milestone/rank = farm donation
Short queue time
Has streamer mode so less chance of get harassed/streamsniped (can still happen though, but less likely than other shooters that doesn't have these features)
Can play with others. A great tool to meet up/network/collab.
Gets constant content updates
Has a pro scene
Has a healthy community tourney scene
Is fucking free.

Downsides:
Shit ass network server tick
Shit ass optimization
Still no fucking HRTF
Ranked system rewards overgrinding and doesn't punish bad players (as you can't derank)
Panders to controller players with the amount of aim assist provided.
However, for casual viewers and players who are/watch vtubers... THESE THINGS (competive integrity) DON'T MATTER AS MUCH AS THE PROS.
So tell me, if you are a vtuber, why won't you play Apex???
