• The Diversity Award: Schell Games The Crisis Management Award: Big Run Studios The Corporate Social Responsibility Award: Iam8bit The Education Award: Virtuos The Health and Wellbeing Award: Survios US Best Boss Award: Haden Blackman, Hangar 13

It’s not too surprising to see Respawn take home the top award for best US employers. Respawn employees seem genuinely happy whenever they appear in interviews and management seems to support their employees whenever they come forward with new ideas.

That said, Respawn is currently being challenged by hackers that are attacking Titanfall, Respawn’s beloved giant robot shooter. Both Titanfall and Titanfall 2 multiplayer have been virtually unplayable for months thanks to a hacker with a bone to pick with Respawn, and it’s gotten bad enough that Apex players have even hacked Respawn’s Battle Royale game to beg for help on Titanfall’s hacker problem.

Respawn has let players know that hacking Apex to fix Titanfall doesn’t accomplish anything, but it does show how desperate these passionate Titanfall fans are getting.
