“Recently, we have seen increased harassment of our development team,” the studio wrote in a statement shared on Twitter.
“We welcome community input, however, the line between constructive feedback and the harassment of our dev team cannot be crossed.”
Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has spoken out on what it calls a recent increase in “harassment towards members of our development team”, warning those responsible that it will “take appropriate action to ensure [team members’] health and safety”.
All this comes in a year when developers have been increasingly vocal about the online abuse received from so-called fans.
