I love a lot of what Apex Legends has to offer. The gun play is one of the best in any game I have ever played and the charachters are very fun. However I can’t recommend the game strictly on the monetization. For example before this new season (24) there were leaked mini battle passes for all of the new legends that would add a ton of progression that was desperately needed. It would have given the players something worth playing for. But what does EA do? Make you pay 10$ for each one. This isn’t even mentioning the collection events that cost 300+ dollars to complete. They also just added a new mobile game pay system that makes you pay to unlock something cheap and then to unlock something free. All the skins are also egregiously overpriced in general. It’s all there to just make you spend as much money as possible it’s trash. They don’t really care about the players they care about the money that’s it. The balance changes are often mediocre and don’t always fix all the problems they should. EA is lucky the foundation of this game is as good as it is otherwise people wouldn’t put up with the gross monetization. If your a new player that know you won’t buy anything then maybe give it a try. Otherwise steer clear it’s not worth your time until EA gets it together and starts to care more about the player base.(which will never happen)
