Modern Robin Hoods are saving Titanfall by hacking Apex Legends

Now, if you do decide to visit the website being advertised in the message, you'll be treated to a lot of information about what's referred to as "Operation Red Tape", the sole purpose of which is to raise awareness. Specifically, to let people know that Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts are aware of the situation around Titanfall and are choosing to ignore it.

The hackers are describing Titanfall as "unplayable". They are also calling out EA and Respawn Entertainment for continuing to sell content for the game on PC despite being in such a shameful state. The hacker also provides links to numerous resources for those who are interested to know more about the issue.

It will be interesting to see how Respawn Entertainment responds to this matter in the coming days. Apex Legends is technically a sequel to the Titanfall games, and is set in the same universe, only far into the future. Respawn even recently released a character in Apex Legends that has a direct connection to Titanfall 2.

Given the popularity of both the Titanfall games and Apex Legends, EA and Respawn must give this matter due attention. Otherwise, these two studios risk alienating one or the other game's player base if not both.

While we don't exactly condone hacking, the hacker's intention seems pretty straightforward and his efforts are commendable. Here's to hoping that it's enough to get Respawn and EA to listen.
