Fortnite Developer Epic Games VP Mark Rein Digs Apex Legends

Gamers who enjoy different FPS franchises tend to argue with each other constantly about which is superior. In fact, these rivalries can get to be pretty bitter. But it can sometimes be a different story with game developers. In fact, Mark Rein, the VP and co-founder of Fortnite developer Epic Games, actually turns out to be a fan of the new battle royale game Apex Legends by EA and Respawn Entertainment.

Here is What Mark Rein Had to Say About Apex Legends

Mark Rein talked about Apex Legends on Twitter.

A user called @ShadoEthan_ said to Rein, “you should try Apex Legends is awesome too.”

Rein responded, “I tried it.”

Another user called @Noah__Playzz asked him, “Did you like it??”

Rein replied, “Yes it’s very good!”

There was some additional discussion Twitter as well. It was since removed, but you can see the screenshot here:

@SamHowes19 asked, “@MarkRein what’s your opinion on apex legends.”

Rein replied, “I like it. Very well done!”

Vince Zampella, CEO of Respawn Entertainment answered, “Means a lot coming from you Mark! I believe I owe you drinks next time we meet up!”

In a world where fans of gaming franchises can become such bitter rivals, it’s great to see competitors supporting each other like this. The two games do have a lot in common, but they have a lot of differences too. There is no reason why gamers who enjoy Fortnite can’t also enjoy Apex Legends, and vice versa.

Plus, the differences between the two games are enough to draw different gamers altogether.  This isn’t uncommon in the FPS universe. Indeed, EA isn’t concerned about Apex Legends stealing Battlefield 5 Firestorm’s thunder.
