Is Apex Legends a dead game?

Apex Legends is not a dead game by any means. The Steam numbers alone show that even after a major controversy like the ALGS hack by Destroyer2009, the game still peeks at 360k+ active players daily on PC alone. That, too, is only on Steam. We have the console versions, and people are playing the game using the EA launcher. 

Combining those numbers, Apex Legends is still one of the most played battle royale games out there and an ace in EA’s library that will not die anytime soon, even after server issues, cosmetic controversies, hackers plaguing the game and the pro teams getting unfair revenue split proposals for skins.
