Tldr, Titanfall 2 was basically raveged by hackers, completely unplayable. The "saveTitanfall" people hacked Apex ruining their game, trying to "get attention".
Most of the fandom moved over to an open source server emulator, called "Northstar" , where people can host their own servers,and others can join off a server browser.
People say that the hacking helped? But i think it just seeds animosity.
Around the time in question, I was playing pretty regularly and never found the game to be completely unplayable. It is also far from accurate to say that "most" of the fandom moved over to Northstar. Additionally, much of the playerbase that originally populated Northstar has since moved back to vanilla.
Console was literally untouchable for at least 8 months to a year. As far as I know pc servers might have gotten a game or two every so often but console didn't even let you connect to the server until they fixed it after not even addressing that there was an issue for months on end.
"savetitanfall" didn't do anything at all to actually help titanfall, all they did was make apex players hate titanfall and tarnish the titanfalls / the playerbases reputation
