Literally admitting that you lack any empathy for those who aren't you isn't a great way to get people on your side.
Little reductive.
That might've been true five years ago, but definitely not nowadays. To compare two current EA games, Apex is F2P while also only having cosmetic MTX, while FIFA is a full price retail game that makes most of its money off of the pay to win FUT card packs.
It's probably still true when you consider the entire gaming industry. Apex has a horrendous model attached to it. I would have gladly paid money for that game to mitigate that shit store and horrible grind.
either way, the conversation is veering into another problem. Epic being happy with their business with Deep Silver is a win in my book.
