And yet people still complain about them in Apex even though it's free.

Why isn't anyone complaining about this issue in Rainbow Six Siege. This really seems like an issue where people are very hypocritical. I honestly think this is more of an anti-EA issue than a true issue with the price of the micro transactions that are earnable in game and less than half the cost of other games.
The argument about free to play also seems silly given that those free to play games consist of exactly one mode and cost significantly less to make in the first place.

Unless things have greatly changed from the beta you can unlock a ton of stuff rather quickly that can easily alter the look of your Javelin to a large degree without spending money.
Well considering the uproar over the leaked prices, they sort of had to drop prices. Still expensive for what you get but it's a step in the right direction. I won't be buying any.
I guess so yeah. Probably just a mindset thing. I can't get used to paying that much money for an emote or skincare but this game is a continued service so I guess it needs to make its money somewhere
EDIT: Skincare??? Lol damn autocorrect. Gonna leave it like that though :p
$8 for a premium skin sounds very reasonable all things considering (EA, GaaS, etc), and I can live with that when taking into account all of that is cosmetic.
If the game and skins are good I might buy a couple in order to support the game and the upcoming content.

That's not too bad. Especially considering unless you are obsessed with owning everything you won't need to buy everything.
this.>paying f2p skin prices in a full-priced videogame
people in here talking like they aren't about to drop $50+ for this game, and in some cases $70+.
I look forward to finding out how much grinding is required to gather these tens of thousands of in-game coins.
In loot games, upgrading the appearance of my character is the game.
If my options are paid (good) expansions or grind or pay to skip grind for cosmetics then give me good paid expansions every day.
To be fair, Destiny has had a shit solution since before it even came out, it was known years in advance to be ass from the moment the contract leaked.
It's not a litmus test for anything outside of that mangled mess of a game.
Best way to test the waters is to leak it and see the reaction.
Since they don't charge for the game, charging for extras is how they get paid and are able to give you the game for free. A company that is already charging $60 for the game doesn't need to subsidize costs the same way a free game does.
it's amazing how people keep forgetting that game costs continue to sky rocket while the cost of games has remained the same for nearly 2 decades.
Until people stop these prices for shit like this, it will never change, and that includes F2P metrics. Stop spending money on the same shit in F2P games, and they won't be the same costs in premium titles. So often people say let your wallet do the talking, and yet... here we are, you are continuing to let your wallet do the talking by spending the money you have in it rather than keeping it in your pocket.
Gamers: "You can't criticize Siege/Overwatch's MTX/lootboxes because they earned it!!!!!"
Also gamers: "FUCK YOU EA FOR ADDING MTX IN A $60 GAME THAT HAS FREE DLC SUPPORT JUST LIKE THOSE OTHER GAMES I SHILL FOR!!!!"
You know what's not free? Overwatch, AC, Destiny 1 and 2, BLOPS, WOW, FFXIV and just about every online retail game. People seem to never complain about Overwatch when Apex is doing the same thing with their free content the only difference is they aren't shilling loot boxes. Also, micro transactions are micro transactions i don't care what the game cost and as long as it's not hurting the actual game/gameplay i don't care.
How many times do i have to post a dozen games that aren't free? And does it matter as long as they aren't scummy micro transactions? Fortnite's model IMO is far worse than Apex and Anthem.
It hasn't been two decades. It's been just over 13 years since Xbox prices went from $50-60, 12 years since Sony did it and just over 6 since Nintendo did it. PC games were somewhere between ps3 and WiiU I think.

no no no, they'll accept the benefits, but continue to complain ;)
What's the difference between a 60$ game with purchasable skins and spending hundreds on a free to play game on skins?
Like 3 skins in Fortnite can be considered a full game purchase. Apex has expensive microtransactions as well.
I know so many heavy spenders in F2P games that at some point it doesn't matter anymore.
Be strong and stand your ground because most people don't care.

Never felt like I had to grind for cool armour and shaders in Destiny & D2 but maybe I just got lucky with the RNG in those games.
That's cool. Hopefully, they don't take too long to earn.
I don't like it either but it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon.
I still find it to be very expensive. We are starting to pay DLC prices for skins. Good thing I'm not a sucker for cosmetic items in games.
I mean, it is better than lootboxes, but pretty crappy for a $60 game.
Honestly much prefer to pay for the expansions.

Destiny completely burned me out on paid expansions.
I'd rather let the whales make sure we get new content going forward. At least if that content is mediocre I still got it for free.
