Anything can be addictive to a certain person, any business model they put out could be addictive to a specific person.
I won't. I can still complain about their scummy tactics. Just like you come on a message board and complain....
My god it obvious you dont get it at all.
And if that's what they want to then fair play to them.It will continue to be free BECAUSE people will spend $200 on this garbage event.
He is right though in the comment he made.
Without people paying, the game wouldn't exist.
EA happened. Sure you get given a big cheque but it's like selling your soul to the devil
Fuck, and I was really looking forward to giving Solo Mode a try too
Again F2P is not excuse for scummy tactics why is this keep being said?EA wants money. Game is a F2P game that has microtransactions. If this was a paid game with lootboxes I'd be more disappointed.
I do get it, i just don't care....again, if people want to and choose to spend their money how they like, it doesn't bother me.
Yes? They don't owe you shit. In a paid title, I would say nope, but the game's free, of course they can sell cosmetics at indecent price.I love how some people think F2P means right to do whatever you want.
Apex is much better though.
Because people don't agree that it is scummy tactics?Again F2P is not excuse for scummy tactics why is this keep being said?
Its not really a cluster fuck as it's just cosmetics, there isn't anything game play wise locked behind any paywall.I saw some headlines with the new skins and thought it's time to go back to Apex, when I saw this clusterfuck I immediately noped, way to kill your game Respawn
I mean I play video games because they are fun. I couldn't care less what my character who doesn't exist in real life looks like on screen. "Skins" are the worst thing to ever happen to this industry and it blows my mind that people "gamble" for them
How exactly is it scummy tactics? There's nothing here, that I've read at least in the OP, that says said stuff in necessary in any way to buy. If people want to buy it, they can. Many clearly don't want it and will pass. If that means more and more follow the latter option because they don't like the pricing model, then EA/Respawn changes them or the game dies. I can't be made to feel guilty because others are funding the game I choose to play free.Again F2P is not excuse for scummy tactics why is this keep being said?

So you are dismissing the amazing gameplay of Apex Legends, which is by the way a video game, because you are unhappy with the price of loot boxes that no one is forcing you to buy and have zero impact on the gameplay? It really is mind blowing to me that lots of people seem to dismiss the enjoyment and FUN of a game and would rather focus on the dress up part.....even a FREE game like this one!
Yeah just tell gambling addicts to just not gamble. How innovative. Can't believe no one has thought of this before!
There is a difference between making money by selling cosmetics and using predatory gambling mechanics to make money.Yes, but the game is also free, so there is that, so how are they suppose to earn money then? If they want to keep it F2P if they can't sell anything.
Who in here has said they're perfectly fine with the prices and don't see a need for them to be cheaper? I must have missed that post.Amazing how many people don't care about the microtransactions but care about people suggesting they're too expensive.
If they don't affect your enjoyment of the game I don't see how them potentially being cheaper will either.
People telling people to effectively put up or shut up about this because it's a F2P game?Who in here has said they're perfectly fine with the prices and don't see a need for them to be cheaper? I must have missed that post.
Do you know or have heard of masses of gambling addicts playing this game?Yeah just tell gambling addicts to just not gamble. How innovative. Can't believe no one has thought of this before!
This is why I never really gave a shit about cosmetics in any shooter that wasn't Fortnite, if I am only seeing my character in the lobby and victory screens, what they look like is meaningless to me.It's simply down to the fact of if you want to pay money for people to see your character looking different.
Except no one is saying that, so again, where are you getting this? Let's try not to change the parameters just to back up your point.People telling people to effectively put up or shut up about prices because it's a F2P game?

Fortnite adjusted their prices in response to player criticism over them.Fortnite has been selling $20 skins for going on two years now.
The market is speaking and is more than fine with these prices, doesn't make it right, but it certainly explains why.
What are you on about, several people have said that in this thread. No parameters have changed, you're just apparently oblivious to the posts saying this is a non-issue because it's F2P.Except no one is saying that, so again, where are you getting this? Let's try not to change the parameters just to back up your point.
So you say thanks to them and continue to play hundreds of hours of the free game you enjoy?It will continue to be free BECAUSE people will spend $200 on this garbage event.
Your hyperbolic characterization of 'put up or shut up' isn't even close to what people are saying. But if that's how you read it, probably need to look at what they're saying a tad closer without such a negative pov.What are you on about, several people have said that in this thread.
You are completely missing the point. Predatory RNG lootboxes are wrong. Full stop. It is something that has been used and abused for far too long by gaming companies. There is a reason why they are being questioned from a legal standpoint in several countries at this point.Do you know or have heard of masses of gambling addicts playing this game?
So people who don't mind spending money, when the choose to this way, have a problem?
