@odieman1231 Loot boxes ARE $1 a piece. 100 Apex coins and you get 1000 apex coins for $10.
Anyway, the problem I see is that many people in Apex have come from different games.
For me, Apex is my first BR game and one of the first F2P games I've played. Before I have played and am still playing Overwatch. In Overwatch I paid my $40 to get the game and for that I got the full game and free lootboxes every single level forever + more on special occasions. I absolutely wouldn't mind dropping just as much money on Apex, if it meant I got something of similar value out of the deal. But if the only options for $40 is 40 loot boxes that could have absolute crap in them or 2 special skins, I'd rather not spend any money at all.

I am glad you brought up OW. I love OW and have played that quite heavily. The issue I think I see with OW is that I have earned everything in it already. Because you get a lootbox every level AND you can earn 3 additional every week through the Arcade games AND you earn lootboxes for being a nice player I have earned almost everything in the game. While most would see that as a good thing, I guess it just isn't as rewarding to me?
Even when a holiday event releases, Ill play OW for 2 weeks and have about all the content earned.

Everyone thinks that they are just a special snowflake entitled to everything. False. People want to eat but don't want to hunt.

Well you are just showing that you don´t understand the problem here... I don´t even have to read your whole post as people like you always have the same arguments all over again.
Long story short. We as customers should not be kissing their foot because they are doing what should be standard behaviour. Of course I´m grateful for apex business model not being p2w so I can play it. But to be honest lootboxes (slot machines) are still cancer in any way and finally legal protection is arising againts this thing. Don´t even let me started on p2w games - from my point of view these are just trash straight away and nobody should play/support them - period. Don´t be so overprotective. Big corporate like EA have an enormous amount of money (hello Patrick Soderlund $20 mil. bonus). I miss the old days when you just bought the full game and then some expansion packs (BF2), I would like that back. I literally want to pay for the full game. Perhaps I´m just a guy who like to know what he buys. "F2P" model is probably the worst that could happen to gaming industry from the view of old school gamers.
Final note - I´m failing to understand, why any customer in the world would defend shady (or just disadvantageous) practices of corporations this size like EA is. Quite the reverse, we should stand together and defend us against these predatory business models as customers, and push for better services, since we are the weaker party in this relationship. I just don´t like when someone makes a victim from huge companies. I hope I did not offend you. To be absolutely clear, I don´t hate on apex legends - it is great game. It is just lootboxes which aren´t.
I apologise for any mistakes in my English.

You must play OW a lot more than me or be very lucky. I didn't even get half of the Legendary skins this event. At least I got the ones I wanted from buying them with coins.

It's really just EA. I 100% support Respawn and all they are doing
