Yeah been watching this all unfold on reddit
fans are fed up with lootboxes being predatory. They insist that they would support the game with fair price, and that lootboxes arent fair.
They point to EA's constant attempts in the past with trying to implement lootboxes to say that the devs walking back on MTX isnt some innocent mistake, but a purposeful attempt at trying to normalize the lootbox model. They see through the apology. Theres been tons of memes and stuff on the subreddit joking and mocking EA/Respawn over it.
they made a montage of EA apologies, their PR speak, and compare the $18 in games like DOTA and Siege (feature complete with voice overs, new models, items, etc) to an $18 skin in Apex being a bald version of a character. There isnt much effort in Apex compared to other games charging $18
Im surprised Apex fans arent taking this.
meanwhile in cod, overpowered dlc guns are still behind lootboxes, and then get nerfed into the ground after kids spend hundreds on trying to win try and win them
