Apex Legends, a game produced by EA, was leaked in April 2018 and yet nobody seemed to notice. On the social media platform Reddit, someone made a post that contained a massive clue to a game called Apex Legends and it just seemed to be passed by and pushed to the side.

The Reddit user “Hitlconic” posted map images and some more information about a game that was going to come out - such as respawn locations and so on - but lots of users passed it by and the few people that actually acknowledged it didn't give them the credit they deserved, calling the posts fake and not being too nice about what they were trying to do.

However, after the game was released and the leaks were confirmed, many users of subreddit gave a gold to the user and quite a few apologized for their actions and for not taking the leak seriously. Some say that the games development team attempted to arrange the leak. If they were the ones behind this mysterious leak, then they didn't do a good job of making hype for the game. Regardless, Apex Legends has blown to become a battle royale hit success.

Flying high and flying far: An in-depth look at Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

When it comes to the newest edition in Microsoft’s flight sim line-up (due for release 18/08/20), there’s a lot to break down. Which probably has something to do with the fact that this could just be the most ground-breaking retail flight sim of the last decade, perhaps ever. I can definitely say that, at the very least, for a series that most considered dead long ago, this is the comeback to shame all comebacks.
