@TheJumpingJawaEthical concerns? They give us a 100% free game with zero pay to win and you talk ethics?
How are they supposed to keep the electricity on if they don't make money? How are they supposed to keep the game functioning if no money is made? Yes Apex would be gone... and we all would have to find a new game.
I'm referring to their monetisation strategy of targeting a vulnerable demographic; whether that's children who aren't responsible, or adults with addictive personality disorders.

I guess I’m in the minority then. $18 for a single skin is NOT a good price point. Imagine how much more money they would make if they made things more affordable for everyone. If you want everything in the event then you have to shell out $160! That’s the price of 2 new games and then some.
Yes this is a free game and no one is asking for cosmetics to be free. We’re asking for them to be priced more reasonably.
If they made their game currency more useful they could retain more players. A lot of us are sitting on 100K+ of legend tokens with almost nothing to use them on. Why not allow us to convert it to Apex Coins? It wouldn’t have to be a 1:1 ratio but it would give players more incentive to play.
Why have a level cap? Why limit the number of apex packs players get? Why do challenges only give battle pass XP?
This game could be so much more! They could’ve staggered apex packs every 10 levels and removed the level cap. They could give rewards other than BP XP for challenges such as Apex packs or skins/unlockables.
I guess my opinion doesn’t matter though. I mean I’ve only spent about $250 on this game so far and poured several 100s of hours into it. I’ve only talked to several people who believe I’m right that making items more affordable would bring sales up and that offering players more rewards would help attract and keep more players long term.
But then you get a group of people that say, “It’s a FTP game so stop expecting everything to be free.” When in fact I’m not expecting anything to be free nor do I feel entitled to anything. I make suggestions like these because I read player feedback and have talked to several people so I know what would bring many of my friends back to this game. I like Apex but these business practices are running its player base off and that sucks.
