New Apex player calls out devs over “predatory” event
In aReddit poston January 27, an Apex Legends player who had only just begun playing the battle royale recently with the Final Fantasy 7 event hit out with their concerns.
“Now with the event over soon I have no more chances to unlock packs and I didn’t get any character skins or the heirloom, it’s also impossible to unlock the victory pose and deathbox as well,” the player explained. “Is this how all Apex events are?”
They added: “The prices seem outrageous and this whole event seems very predatory. I thought I would be able to grind the Gil and get packs but that was clearly never an option.”
In the replies, it’s clear many feel the same way, with multiple claiming EA “just wants to make money” from Apex players.
However, on the other hand, as veteran players explained, this event far better than usual with free rewards. “This event is actually far more generous than a normal event in terms of free stuff,” said one.
They added: “3 event packs, 3 thematic packs, 6 normal packs, and 3 epic packs is more free stuff than any other event ever.”
With the devs looking to keep the game fresh with more events, we could see some changes in the future.
