Breaking news: Respawn continues to be pressured by EA to make terrible business decisions, community hates it

[@yeager9731]

EA and Ubisoft: 2 sides of the same coin

[@CyrusIsnt]

Idk who is doing this, EA does seem greedy, but if they gonna get money regardless i dont think they care how respawn does it

[@CarBroke.PhoneYes]

They can say no

[@oNoire]

@@CarBroke.PhoneYes they cannot.

So disappointing, they clearly didn’t learn their lesson with the peacekeeper skin. Disgusting monetisation

[@Swear99]

Ohh yeah they did with the pk bcus that was so bad for their wallet compared to this

[@ender_z4nd3r83]

Ea never learns

[@RevenantMain1]

It’s like they took all the bad from the pk event and turned it into a milestone event

[@brandonlorefice3203]

Just... don't buy it if you don't want it?

[@multi_arm]

what happened with the pk skin?

[@HalfAlligator]

Just don’t buy anything from the event. That’s all we can do

[@splinterray9300]

yea, sure, probably the half of people who said "EA BAD" is getting their wallets ready right now

[@vatop1304]

that's easy cuz all the skins are eh, and plus its an fps you hardly see your skin.

[@ItzHunting]

as someone who hasnt bought anything in apex since Season 4 Battlepass I can gladly say I'm glad I saved my money from EA

[@Latvijas_shiela]

​@@ItzHuntingthe people that complain the most. Are the ones who are spending the most.😂 thats the trend of apex fans/creators it seems. Everyone cries and cries about whatever theyre doing. But then they spend money on it anyways... basically giving EA, and respawn the "greenlight" to keep doing this to us

[@mateuszkrytyk5711]

I have spent money on apex way back I bought the bloodhound box edition of apex that came with a skin and currency for something under 10$ can't really remember the exact price And I bought battlepass using included currency Did not spend anything on that game since then

[@noaharchambault8917]

I love seeing my fav game turning into a cash grab because of 1% of the playerbase who rather spend 2000$ a year on a free game than going out with real friends.

[@lirgent9559]

2000? Only? 🤭

[@MartinCahill-pu7wi]

Think for 1 minute. How much money does it cost to make this game free for you? All the full time developers and business men and marketing and legal and customer service (lol) and offices etc etc etc and profit for the millionaires. This game is free because other people support the game with their cash. Don't hate the payers. Hate the game.

[@noaharchambault8917]

​@@MartinCahill-pu7wi Hate to break it to you but the initial cost of production is estimated to be at around 100M$ since there are no official numbers (including marketing), let's rig the numbers in EA's favor and say it would cost them 100M$/year to maintain. That would total a cost of 600-700M$ for apex legends. The last number of apex total revenue is 3.4B$. do the math and it comes to 2.7B$ profit (540M$/year). The reason we're getting more events isn't because the game now needs more resources, but simple greed. Seeing EA being rewarded for it is frustrating and yes, I'll blame the ones who reward it for the same reason that people blame the justice system for giving out light sentences to horrible people. There are no reasons to defend 50$/120$ gun skins, there are no reasons to defend 160$ recolors, there are no reason to defend child gambling, there are no reason to defend EA on the cheater issue, the server issues, the lack of creativity power they give to respawn and their greed nor to defend people who reward them for it willingly or are just simply addicted/brainwashed/influenceable.

[@thawingkarma233]

@@MartinCahill-pu7wiThe people who are more than willing to pay over $500 on these collection events and other items are at fault for supporting these cash-grab monetization practices, obviously. The company wouldn’t be able to continue with these scummy monetization practices if they were not being supported by the players, and yet they are.

[@splinterray9300]

i don't remember any milestone events back in Iron crown times

[@notoriousg.i.b.6773]

i would love to speak again about how people are dumb for buying stuff like that, but it's literally pointless, i mean, everyone knows this is bad, yet the same people are gonna buy this crap, i mean, literally, Thordan Smash first gonna say "EA bad, want more money from us", but then the next thing he'll say is "don't forget to like/comment/subscribe to be a part of free give away of new event stuff" (unless it's sponsored by EA, but first, don't think so, second, still, it's make it roll, if someone hyped for the event won't win the give away, they may go buy the event, cause "they wanted it so bad") PS: sorry for my English, hope you get what i mean

the sword in the image is on newcastle's back in the event skin. Because of this I unfortunately doubt it will be his heirloom.

[@OGMRMOOMOO]

why do they keep putting horizon skins in these events 😭

[@iliketurtles4359]

Probably because a lot of people play her. Especially sweats they play a lot so they more interested in wasting money on this game than us and I guess it probably makes bank for respawn.
