Apex Legend Main Designed is fired

Yesterday it was announced that two important developers in Blizzard were dismissed after several accusations in his hire. At the same time, in EA and Respawn Entertainment something similar happened, since Daniel Klein, main designer of games in apex legends, was fired after several sexist and racist comments made by the developer were made known.

Last month, a series of images of Klein's blog, where derogatory comments about women and people from Africa were shown by the developer, caused controversy in the community of apex legends. Eventually, Klein confirmed that these messages were real, and were originally published in 2007 .

This was the answer that Klein issued in the official Twitter account of him:

I have invested so much energy to become a better person since then, and right now I am very depressed because I feel that I can never compensate for who it was.

I said racist and sexist things, not because I deeply believed in any of them, but because I knew it could cause a reaction in people. That does not excuse anything of what I said; The impact of my words was the same no matter what I believed .

Klein not only admitted that his comments were made 14 years ago with the goal of generating controversy, but confirmed that since last Friday, August 6, he left his position in _apex legends _ . At the moment there is no communication about EA or Respawn Entertainment.

Considering the situation that is lived in companies such as Ubisoft and Blizzard, It is very likely that other companies are also revealing the position of several employees to avoid controversies such as those responsible for overwatch.
