Your coverage is getting worse. You frame it like it's news, you even explicitly said "All this news about microtransactions," and then blast them for putting out news about microtransactions (when there are "so many" bugs at season launch.. you exaggerated them so much you reminded me of an infomercial when they try making something easy look hard)... based on a survey question?
You know WoW has had a subscription model for 20 years now, and with this we would still keep apex free to play while having a sustainable business model
@@dahahaka yep the "whales" keep this stuff for free for us, thats how the system works rn. but it also means these whales have more influence on the content we get.
@@dahahaka im not talkin about money. I'm talkin about how much love was put into that game till season 12 13 ... Stories from outlands, Easter eggs, events, skins etc... Now everything is just thrown at us without any connection to apex. Skins are blocky and feel like they are ai generated. Events are just normal store shuffles and updates are just patches.

for me that was early 2021-summer 2022... 😔 miss those days. I miss when Apex was thriving with an evolving immersive universe, good people to play with, and exciting seasonal updates... Now I just see a boardroom of people struggling to keep their wages throwing the dumbest ideas into the game in a desperate attempt to keep players engaged... "What do kids like these days?? anime!!! lets throw some fuckin anime theme events in! post malone!! kids love that shit! make a post malne event! Final Fantasy!! because that has so much to fucking do with Apex and Titan Fall, lets just throw that shit in there too! our existing lore and story?? fuck it!! noone that actually still plays this game is following anything in the lore anymore...." ugh.... makes me sadd
There are SO many bugs right now. If you get respawned half the time you literally cant shoot straight and you get nothing but no regs. Its game breaking.
It's not that bad, only had a wierd instance where I couldn't mark or use my ult. Sbmm does suck on non ranked tho. Played 2 matches and both times had 5 kills, after that I could barely survive a drop
@@cafenightster4548He's talking about a specific bug where after you get drop ship respawned you get lags. It happens way more than tolerable and ruins ranked games especially.

With all due respect the games completely free to play, the battlepass is at most 20 bucks every like 3 months...the hierlooms are completely optional. I'm not saying the prices aren't a bit much but if you're working 8 hours day and the games still unaffordable...you need a new job dude.

Love how the only news I hear about Apex anymore is bad news, really explains why Apex is in the place that its in currently, its on life support at this point and each new bit of bad news is pulling the plug little by little
This team has now started to rush things, a stark contrast to their calm response to early user churn due to content shortages at launch. It feels eerily reminiscent of the decline seen in many EA-owned studios, making me deeply uneasy.
I sympathize with the Devs but I’m pretty sure the game is in the death cycle loop… Lacklustre content = less players. Less players = less money. Less money = charge more + add more monetization schemes. Rinse and repeat until the game tanks.
I have a fee things to say regarding this video. First, the battlepass system was out dated like 5 or 6 years ago. Even when games first started doing them the general consensus was that the system was shit. Second, Apex feels like a half finished game. Nearly every feature added is a stop gap that was added way too early in the design stage. Every individual aspect of the game (Weapons, Mixtape, Collectables, melees, etc...) needs a serious rework. I would love to play an Apex version of CoD TDM, CTF, Hardpoint, Control, Gungame, etc... but because they pieced it together using the squads system, Mixtape is barely functional. I would really like to go at the game piece by piece but really don't care enough to do so.
Weapons? wym the gunplay is one of the best parts of apex. Also what do u mean by "I would really like to go at the game piece by piece but really don't care enough to do so." Please don't pretend you have the skillset or the time required to work on a game of this level. If you knew ANYTHING about game development you wouldn't of even written this comment in the first place..
I will never understand why people get mad and worked up over something they don't have to do. If they add a subscription service and you don't like it, just don't buy it. So what if it has exclusive skins or whatever? Wil those skins instantly make you 1000 times better at the game? been playing apex since season 2 and i only spent like $30 on that game, and that's buying the season pass for those times where i took a break and did not get all the coins from the previous one to buy the next. There are only two choices in life, either you do, or you don't, there is no in-between. Remember that.
@ what I mean is running animation could better if it was horizontally like wraith holding kunnai it would more nicer, now it’s like it pointing towards the ground.
why are people whining about this, its not like your being forced to buy it, but yes there is p2w items here and there but its rare for that to happen.
There is a bug on lifeline still present, where your drone ability will bug out and not be usuable the entire game, you basically have the q/h option permanently on without a drone and nothing seems to fix it (it's not every game but from 10 games I've managed to get it 2 times)
For anyone thay has issues swotching tabs sometimes, where it feels like nothing is loaded, try selecting "firing range" from the game mode, then exit. It usually works for me, after that and the tabs return.
The thing in subsciptions tend to be a decent deal I normally use them as “pay this much for this with the bonus of this for the month”, just cancel it every time
If they decide to go with the subscription it will definitely be an L. I stopped playing apex completely like season 19 or 20. Part of it was because the mythic skins were $150 bucks to get lolll so there was nothing to grind for and the game got stale. I'm no longer good enough to play unranked because all the players left are good at the game, the casual base is gone at least from my experience
Apex gotta hit those unrealistic financial targets for the shareholders looks like they forget to make this game fun. "If you're not spending all your money on apex we don't care " ea probably
News flash: no one cares what skin you have. No one cares if you have a heirloom. No one cares if your gun looks cool. Don’t give this company money for stuff no one cares about. Just enjoy the game.
I did used to occasionally spend money on coins for cosmetics but in recent seasons ive become pretty disillusioned with the game due to trash skins being released, rampant cheating making it unenjoyable to play plus the whole ranked revamps making it unrewarding. I certainly won't be spending my hard earned cash on paying a subscription to play game that the developers seem to care so little about the community in these days...
I love how companies don't realise that to make people more willing to buy, they'd just have to lower the prices, either of the coins, or the items. People would be far more willing to buy more for less, while the end result is spending more overall. I have maybe bought 3 skins through my years of playing Apex While in Fortnite, I bought a good 20 or more in a lot less time. Why? Because for the same amount of money as 1 Apex skin I can buy 2/3 skins with full sets of cosmetics suited to them, melee, glider, gun wraps, even emotes. EA doesn't realise that, they just slap a big number on some mediocre skin an expect people to buy it.
I’ve said this since season 9 but recoil scripts devises whatever it may be have killed any integrity of fps games so sadly any fps game is just a waste of time always remember its pixels on a screen work on yourself not stats on a game that’s eventually has a end date
I really want to play Apex but I just dont have the strength to do it alone, since the mid season update from season 19 my duos started to have fps drops when playing Apex which he never had before. Seeing the Apex devs notfix a problem like that and just add more skins and shit just doesn`t make me wanna play anymore
Hey this might not really help, but I experienced harsh stuttering and freezing with Apex a while ago and went out of my way to find a solution. Keep in mind this only works on a windows PC. The problem with me was virtual RAM being created on my harddrive where Apex was stored. I know that this sounds quite like the opposite of whats supposed to happen but here we are. I will try to follow this up when I found the setting, making a small list of steps you have to follow in order to find that setting, maybe this might even be their problem. EDIT: I have found the necessary steps Control Panel > System and Security > System > (on the right side of the window) Advanced System Settings > (in that new popup called: System Properties) Click on Advanced > Settings Button for „Performance“ (there are also „User Profiles“ and „Recovery“ but dont touch those) > (in the new popup: Performance Options) click Advanced > Change on Virtual Memory Now that we are here, do the following: Deselect „Automatically manage paging …“ Now onto the more specific part: Choose the system drive (usually C: Drive) > Click on „Custom Size“ and now calculate following equation for their amount of RAM in the PC: GB of RAM * 1024 * 1.5 for „initial size“ GB of Ram * 1024 * 3 for „maximum size“ For 8GB of RAM the numbers are: 12288 (initial) & 24576 (maximum) For 16GB: 24576 (initial) & 49152 (maximum) *Please feel free to change the numbers in regard of free space of the drive* !However, games tend to crash when numbers input are too low! Last steps are choosing „no paging file“ for every other drive except the system drive and then rebooting the PC and check if issues persist! Hope this helps
"The Lifeline rework literally didn't work; her tactical just wouldn't work like 99% of the time..." You make it sound like she was unplayable lmao.. you just can't re-assign/recall DOC; not ideal but you can still use it, send it to teammates, and it goes through walls
Wish that apex would talk to their community better, like weekly polls on Twitter of what gamemode we want to see each week or how we feel on current meta and take into question or responses to it then ask if we want to see said nerf/buff to a meta
Look, if the subsctiption service is worth it ofc we will get it. But knowing ea+respawn they will never make it worth it. I guarantee it will just be crafting materials + coins at the same price rate as if u bought them with real money. Just another road leading to the same destination.
Scrap the ultimate+ battle pass, include everything in ultimate+ decrease price of it from 19.99 to 9.99, and add an extra apex pack and an extra exotic shards and it will actually be reasonable for subscription
I’ll only pay monthly if the currency I can redeem is Apex tokens. The orange takes that are otherwise useless. Respawn can take those back every month at a rate of 10k per month for battle pass.
If $10 a month keeps the game alive but stops so many other "events" that are just money grabs and the perks and rewards are all up front each month as drops and not constant season updates, maybe th developers can actually focus on fixing the game? Highly doubtful but as someone who pays for things like upgraded battle passes already I would consider this since it's actually cheaper idk. I feel like the game is dying but I really hope somehow it pulls through or at least can go out with a big bang like an epic Titanfall event to celebrate the announcement of Titanfall 3.
Them withholding content from this seasons launch in order to maintain a solid playerbase throughout the entire seasons airtime has me not playing this season. Why not just give it to us at launch if it is ready? They still wont listen...
They couldn’t be bothered to fix the use 8 OG legends so they took the challenge out completely, you can’t achieve any badges unless you play ranked , the same boring ass map rotation for 45 days at a time is unbearable. It’s almost like they want the game to die
I thought this season the game was going to be fun but the new updates to the support has made things even worse, all the rats stacking support legends like new castle,lifeline and gibby and all hiding behind their shield.
People seem to be so quick to hate on the game. It’s free, it’s over 5 years old, and they have to monetize it. This latest season also gave everyone quite a few free packs. Remember when we all played games just because they were fun? Maybe that would be better instead of feeling like we all have to have the new shiny things in the game, just play it and enjoy it, and if you don’t then do what’s best for yourself and find something else to do.
The problem isn’t the “skins”. The problem is that the devs seem to prioritize *monetization* over *improvement* … (1) For example… Lifeline is currently not working as advertised. (2) Ranked is not rewarding (3) SMBB is jank (4) People complain about rampant cheating (I personally don’t know if it’s true) 4. The gameplay loop feels stale and modes people want have been removed (Arena), thank God we got Duos back 5. Some legends are simply garbage compared to others 6. Etc I sympathize with the Devs and I’m pretty sure they the game is in the death cycle loop… Bad content = less players. Less players = less money. Less money = charge more + add more monetization schemes
1:07 I must remind that Epic Games considers regional price for subscription unlike EA In Türkiye, I pay 79₺ monthly for Epic ($2.29 with current exchange rate) If EA doesn't adjust the price, even I love the game as whole and pay for it too, I'm unable to give $10 a month to Apex named free game (344.66₺)
the only money EA/Respawn will get from me will be FOR A F-ING GOOD TITANFALL THAT HAS IT ALL!!! (all that fans have ever requested...good story, same movement, nothing forced in a disney-ish way, no apex follow-up story into titanfall, etc)
Yeah I don’t get the problem. They put it in the game. Some choose to buy some won’t. A free game with some of the best mechanics in fps is still available to play.
We don't want subscriptions. We want good things to buy from. The fact that Respawn hasn't made many cool themes or events for the past 2 years while introducing money making pyramid like schemes shows that Respawn has become complacent after only one good year at the top and also not making any good ways of keeping their current playerbase happy. And it all started after they changed the head of developer.
I’m pretty much at that point too. It’s just not *fun* anymore. I STG, I hopped off yesterday after about an hour, booted up *UNO* and had a blast playing that 😂. I don’t know if it’s my team mates or what, but I can’t get a decent game going anymore. Dafuq…
I would buy the subscription ONLY IF, that means I don't need to pay $40 on the battle pass and didn't need EA play anymore. Because if it covers everything like the Fortnite subscription does then yes, I will save ALOT of money. Especially since I pay for my wife's BP/EA play as well. P.S. I hope the EA CEO leaves and we get someone that truly cares for what apex legends & the players deserve AND ACTUALLY LISTEN to us. Like a new server for example.
I don't get why there is an uproar regarding the monthly subscription, you don't have to buy it and if you can easily cancel it like in fortnite it's basically just a better 10$ pack if you need some apex coins
OFC it's done. People found out the game is rigged. You cant get pred unless you're on a special list that gives you better audio and less glitches andom bugs.
I cant be the only wondering about people saying that they have to spend money on the game....i am 2500 hours in, have hundreds of skins for weapons and chars and am able to buy also limited time skins like the catrina skin for bang on Halloween. And this only with the around 20 bucks i spend 3 years ago.... You will basically get all the gold you need in the battlepasses, and even there i just have 3 BP at over level 100. I dont get what people are complaining about. 😅
They have been making videos titled the same like this for how many years? its always "Apex is done..," "Apex is Dead" but yet the game will still be fine two years from now 🤣
Im not gon a lie... I wanted this for years now... But im only if its worth it, and at least i get 1000 apex coins or 500. And a legendary exclusive skin.
Apex has felt like nothing more than a cash grab for the last 3 or 4 seasons , the universal heirlooms , while characters as old as Maggie still have nothing , collection event leading in to collection event and just the general pricing of general skins , all this when the actual gameplay content has fallen off a cliff , now you throw yet another paid for sub and I think the game truly will be in trouble
Playing into the hackers, that's why they're not doing much about it, hackers tend to be cash cows, different game but it's happening to pokemon go too
If the game is running smoothly and there are new events people would probably buy their shit but since none of that is happening no one is buying. It’s just the cycle
“The Cycle”: Bad content = less players. Less players = less money. Less money = charge more + add more monetization schemes Rinse and repeat until failure
Honestly EA are a joke and APEX I love but as a working class normal bloke I cant justify EVER finishing or even half finishing one of their events its too expensive they are catering the game towards the well off or even rich how can any normal guy or gal even try and purchase and finish an event when that money they would rather spend on shopping and things for the family APEX value their skins way too high they aint making enough money because their game is just too expensive if it was cheaper i reckon more people would consider buying more skins for sure.
Im absolutly do not understand u guys. Bro, i havent met any cheater legit in the game.. what are u on bro? Stop complaining. Idk if its bc of ur region that there is alot of "cheater" or bc u play on pc, but i play on new york servers and havent met with anyone yet. Im not saying i dont believe you or that there is no cheater but maybe its a problem of ur part by playing on pc or playing on a server where there is bunch of cheaters. Also i play on console.
I can’t believe how greedy things have gotten. Genuinely would not making all of these cosmetic earnable and instead for monetization have people pay to upgrade? I mean I would much prefer being able to grind my cosmetics out let’s say each week for engagement and if it’s really cool and I want it maybe i can spend 2 bucks to earn a tier something like that. I would think you would earn a lot more consistently than just charging a lot more and getting fewer buyers idk I just play games😭
Use real currency to buy exclusive and free reward battlepass items for subscription. But still be able to use apex coins to buy regular battlepass. Apex tokens is already useless.
It's Respawn's fault. Not EA. Respawn bragged about having autonomy from EA and being allowed to do as they please with their games. If they're charging a fuck ton of money on skins, battle passes and now some stupid subscription, that's on Respawn. Greedy af to find more ways of monetization instead of fixing the goddamn game.
I’m waiting for this game to hit a real breaking point. People get mad over and over like giving the cheater in a relationship a second chance for the 20th time. They don’t care about the player base especially the early fans. I love the game but I stopped caring once I saw the quality was on a decline. Just dragging the game and players in the mud. It’s clear as day so don’t be fooled and don’t give em a dime
EA has more money than most of us could even dream of, the game IS dying and all they can think of his profit. Never in my life did I think I'd ever go back to minecraft lol
lmao, can't believe people want EPG-1 in Apex get ready for the spam and rage lmfao. I don't even understand how that weapon fits into Apex, let alone why people want it in Most importantly, I don't know how people still play the game in the first place lol
No one would care about this if they just upgraded the servers and just added more game mode just like call of duty is doing because call of duty is more fun than Apex will probably ever be
If they have artists working more on new game content (like the CEO and CFO explicitly said was coming), then it makes sense they couldn't put as much of their artistic resources into the new Universal. What's hilarious is that they are spending less resources on a monetization effort.. so everyone is mad that it's lower effort? You complain when they put all those resources into monetization.. but you complain when they put less resources into monetization too.... 🤦♂🤦♂
Were you looking forward to the EPG-1 in Apex?
Yes

"If you're not spending all your money on apex we don't care " ea probably
News flash: no one cares what skin you have. No one cares if you have a heirloom. No one cares if your gun looks cool. Don’t give this company money for stuff no one cares about. Just enjoy the game.
"All this news about microtransactions coming to the game..."
There is no "news," it's a SURVEY question lol
I did used to occasionally spend money on coins for cosmetics but in recent seasons ive become pretty disillusioned with the game due to trash skins being released, rampant cheating making it unenjoyable to play plus the whole ranked revamps making it unrewarding. I certainly won't be spending my hard earned cash on paying a subscription to play game that the developers seem to care so little about the community in these days...
I love how companies don't realise that to make people more willing to buy, they'd just have to lower the prices, either of the coins, or the items. People would be far more willing to buy more for less, while the end result is spending more overall.
I have maybe bought 3 skins through my years of playing Apex
While in Fortnite, I bought a good 20 or more in a lot less time. Why? Because for the same amount of money as 1 Apex skin I can buy 2/3 skins with full sets of cosmetics suited to them, melee, glider, gun wraps, even emotes.
EA doesn't realise that, they just slap a big number on some mediocre skin an expect people to buy it.
I just wanna use the EPG man..
Im kinda happy that the "event" is so long over the next 2 months i can get as many free packs as posible with crafting metals
I’ve said this since season 9 but recoil scripts devises whatever it may be have killed any integrity of fps games so sadly any fps game is just a waste of time always remember its pixels on a screen work on yourself not stats on a game that’s eventually has a end date
I really want to play Apex but I just dont have the strength to do it alone, since the mid season update from season 19 my duos started to have fps drops when playing Apex which he never had before. Seeing the Apex devs notfix a problem like that and just add more skins and shit just doesn`t make me wanna play anymore
I dont think I've ever had fps drops on console...i think your friends machine is the issue...

Hey this might not really help, but I experienced harsh stuttering and freezing with Apex a while ago and went out of my way to find a solution. Keep in mind this only works on a windows PC.
The problem with me was virtual RAM being created on my harddrive where Apex was stored. I know that this sounds quite like the opposite of whats supposed to happen but here we are. I will try to follow this up when I found the setting, making a small list of steps you have to follow in order to find that setting, maybe this might even be their problem.
EDIT: I have found the necessary steps
Control Panel > System and Security > System > (on the right side of the window) Advanced System Settings > (in that new popup called: System Properties) Click on Advanced > Settings Button for „Performance“ (there are also „User Profiles“ and „Recovery“ but dont touch those) > (in the new popup: Performance Options) click Advanced > Change on Virtual Memory
Now that we are here, do the following:
Deselect „Automatically manage paging …“
Now onto the more specific part:
Choose the system drive (usually C: Drive) > Click on „Custom Size“ and now calculate following equation for their amount of RAM in the PC:
GB of RAM * 1024 * 1.5 for „initial size“
GB of Ram * 1024 * 3 for „maximum size“
For 8GB of RAM the numbers are: 12288 (initial) & 24576 (maximum)
For 16GB: 24576 (initial) & 49152 (maximum)
*Please feel free to change the numbers in regard of free space of the drive*
!However, games tend to crash when numbers input are too low!
Last steps are choosing „no paging file“ for every other drive except the system drive and then rebooting the PC and check if issues persist!
Hope this helps
"The Lifeline rework literally didn't work; her tactical just wouldn't work like 99% of the time..."
You make it sound like she was unplayable lmao.. you just can't re-assign/recall DOC; not ideal but you can still use it, send it to teammates, and it goes through walls
Wish that apex would talk to their community better, like weekly polls on Twitter of what gamemode we want to see each week or how we feel on current meta and take into question or responses to it then ask if we want to see said nerf/buff to a meta
Especially with map rotation let the community vote on what we want to play on
If they are not going to add a loba in a leotard with long stockings, don't even bother.
If they made the game 16+
Apex could have blooming
Look, if the subsctiption service is worth it ofc we will get it. But knowing ea+respawn they will never make it worth it. I guarantee it will just be crafting materials + coins at the same price rate as if u bought them with real money. Just another road leading to the same destination.
Scrap the ultimate+ battle pass, include everything in ultimate+ decrease price of it from 19.99 to 9.99, and add an extra apex pack and an extra exotic shards and it will actually be reasonable for subscription
I’ll only pay monthly if the currency I can redeem is Apex tokens. The orange takes that are otherwise useless. Respawn can take those back every month at a rate of 10k per month for battle pass.
If $10 a month keeps the game alive but stops so many other "events" that are just money grabs and the perks and rewards are all up front each month as drops and not constant season updates, maybe th developers can actually focus on fixing the game? Highly doubtful but as someone who pays for things like upgraded battle passes already I would consider this since it's actually cheaper idk. I feel like the game is dying but I really hope somehow it pulls through or at least can go out with a big bang like an epic Titanfall event to celebrate the announcement of Titanfall 3.
Them withholding content from this seasons launch in order to maintain a solid playerbase throughout the entire seasons airtime has me not playing this season. Why not just give it to us at launch if it is ready? They still wont listen...
They couldn’t be bothered to fix the use 8 OG legends so they took the challenge out completely, you can’t achieve any badges unless you play ranked , the same boring ass map rotation for 45 days at a time is unbearable. It’s almost like they want the game to die
I literally said to myself. I can only stomach worlds edge for ranked. And that's barely. They really don't care
@ thanks for liking the comment so more people can see it
I thought this season the game was going to be fun but the new updates to the support has made things even worse, all the rats stacking support legends like new castle,lifeline and gibby and all hiding behind their shield.
For ten bucks a month , I want a guardian Angel over my shoulder to watch my games
redownload Ed the game to play the launch royal mode a few times, thoroughly enjoyed it. now I'm happy leaving apex bc it's leaving. win win
People seem to be so quick to hate on the game. It’s free, it’s over 5 years old, and they have to monetize it. This latest season also gave everyone quite a few free packs. Remember when we all played games just because they were fun? Maybe that would be better instead of feeling like we all have to have the new shiny things in the game, just play it and enjoy it, and if you don’t then do what’s best for yourself and find something else to do.
The problem isn’t the “skins”. The problem is that the devs seem to prioritize *monetization* over *improvement* … (1) For example… Lifeline is currently not working as advertised. (2) Ranked is not rewarding (3) SMBB is jank (4) People complain about rampant cheating (I personally don’t know if it’s true) 4. The gameplay loop feels stale and modes people want have been removed (Arena), thank God we got Duos back 5. Some legends are simply garbage compared to others 6. Etc
I sympathize with the Devs and I’m pretty sure they the game is in the death cycle loop…
Bad content = less players.
Less players = less money.
Less money = charge more + add more monetization schemes
Idea i had, when you hit level 100 they give you 100 packs
They took away the gifting thing too. I can't gift my friend the bp anymore with coins. That's so flipping annoying

I must remind that Epic Games considers regional price for subscription unlike EA
In Türkiye, I pay 79₺ monthly for Epic ($2.29 with current exchange rate)
If EA doesn't adjust the price, even I love the game as whole and pay for it too, I'm unable to give $10 a month to Apex named free game (344.66₺)
I’m done buying battle passes but ima still play this game over every other game
Only perk to this is if they made this a requirement, then cheaters would go down a lot!
the only money EA/Respawn will get from me will be FOR A F-ING GOOD TITANFALL THAT HAS IT ALL!!! (all that fans have ever requested...good story, same movement, nothing forced in a disney-ish way, no apex follow-up story into titanfall, etc)
Yeah I don’t get the problem. They put it in the game. Some choose to buy some won’t. A free game with some of the best mechanics in fps is still available to play.
We don't want subscriptions. We want good things to buy from. The fact that Respawn hasn't made many cool themes or events for the past 2 years while introducing money making pyramid like schemes shows that Respawn has become complacent after only one good year at the top and also not making any good ways of keeping their current playerbase happy. And it all started after they changed the head of developer.
shouldn't there have been wallrunning boostkit?
As long as they don't f**k the Battle Pass then I'm pretty chill with it.
I don't mind the stuff they're adding. I'm just bored of the game at this point, nothing feels exciting and all of my friends moved on to other games.
I’m pretty much at that point too. It’s just not *fun* anymore. I STG, I hopped off yesterday after about an hour, booted up *UNO* and had a blast playing that 😂. I don’t know if it’s my team mates or what, but I can’t get a decent game going anymore. Dafuq…
no more 2400 craft metals nowadays NICE respawn 👍🏻
I would buy the subscription ONLY IF, that means I don't need to pay $40 on the battle pass and didn't need EA play anymore. Because if it covers everything like the Fortnite subscription does then yes, I will save ALOT of money. Especially since I pay for my wife's BP/EA play as well.
P.S. I hope the EA CEO leaves and we get someone that truly cares for what apex legends & the players deserve AND ACTUALLY LISTEN to us. Like a new server for example.
The ultimate gamble
I don't get why there is an uproar regarding the monthly subscription, you don't have to buy it and if you can easily cancel it like in fortnite it's basically just a better 10$ pack if you need some apex coins
The only thing getting milked here is your own audience with that title
OFC it's done. People found out the game is rigged. You cant get pred unless you're on a special list that gives you better audio and less glitches
andom bugs.
They better be giving monthly heirlooms smh
I think apex is at the point where there’s enough acessory content
Will the new subscription put you in servers where there are no hackers
I cant be the only wondering about people saying that they have to spend money on the game....i am 2500 hours in, have hundreds of skins for weapons and chars and am able to buy also limited time skins like the catrina skin for bang on Halloween. And this only with the around 20 bucks i spend 3 years ago....
You will basically get all the gold you need in the battlepasses, and even there i just have 3 BP at over level 100.
I dont get what people are complaining about. 😅
It's a survey.. chill... over here riling everyone up with zero context/insight
Plus we don't know when this survey was made, it could have been going through approval and been scheduled before that investor call..
Bro u have a brain thank you 🙏🙏🙏
content creators are COOKED man
They have been making videos titled the same like this for how many years? its always "Apex is done..," "Apex is Dead" but yet the game will still be fine two years from now 🤣
I think the milestone last 60 days so they don't have to create new events (with heirloom)
I’m not upset… I’m just disappointed.
At this point I’ve just resorted to only watching apex cinematics
Im not gon a lie... I wanted this for years now... But im only if its worth it, and at least i get 1000 apex coins or 500. And a legendary exclusive skin.
Yo if he becomes CEO of disney it would probably hurt fortnite as they'd probably stop that support
Apex has felt like nothing more than a cash grab for the last 3 or 4 seasons , the universal heirlooms , while characters as old as Maggie still have nothing , collection event leading in to collection event and just the general pricing of general skins , all this when the actual gameplay content has fallen off a cliff , now you throw yet another paid for sub and I think the game truly will be in trouble
Playing into the hackers, that's why they're not doing much about it, hackers tend to be cash cows, different game but it's happening to pokemon go too
If the game is running smoothly and there are new events people would probably buy their shit but since none of that is happening no one is buying. It’s just the cycle
“The Cycle”:
Bad content = less players.
Less players = less money.
Less money = charge more + add more monetization schemes
Rinse and repeat until failure
@ exactly
Honestly EA are a joke and APEX I love but as a working class normal bloke I cant justify EVER finishing or even half finishing one of their events its too expensive they are catering the game towards the well off or even rich how can any normal guy or gal even try and purchase and finish an event when that money they would rather spend on shopping and things for the family APEX value their skins way too high they aint making enough money because their game is just too expensive if it was cheaper i reckon more people would consider buying more skins for sure.
I'll pay a subscription fee for a Seperate ranked que that is actually moderated and tied a phone# , home address, and verified credit card.
Get rid of the cheaters! That cheat that kicks you out of the game is making me rage!!!
Im absolutly do not understand u guys. Bro, i havent met any cheater legit in the game.. what are u on bro? Stop complaining. Idk if its bc of ur region that there is alot of "cheater" or bc u play on pc, but i play on new york servers and havent met with anyone yet. Im not saying i dont believe you or that there is no cheater but maybe its a problem of ur part by playing on pc or playing on a server where there is bunch of cheaters. Also i play on console.
Would I spend money on Apex. “No”. Next question
I can’t believe how greedy things have gotten. Genuinely would not making all of these cosmetic earnable and instead for monetization have people pay to upgrade? I mean I would much prefer being able to grind my cosmetics out let’s say each week for engagement and if it’s really cool and I want it maybe i can spend 2 bucks to earn a tier something like that. I would think you would earn a lot more consistently than just charging a lot more and getting fewer buyers idk I just play games😭
everyone ive talked to is basically saying May the new EA CEO kick off at Disney and may the new resurrect The TitanFall Franchise.
Use real currency to buy exclusive and free reward battlepass items for subscription. But still be able to use apex coins to buy regular battlepass. Apex tokens is already useless.
It's Respawn's fault. Not EA. Respawn bragged about having autonomy from EA and being allowed to do as they please with their games. If they're charging a fuck ton of money on skins, battle passes and now some stupid subscription, that's on Respawn. Greedy af to find more ways of monetization instead of fixing the goddamn game.
I honestly feel like the subscription is not that bad of an idea
I’m waiting for this game to hit a real breaking point. People get mad over and over like giving the cheater in a relationship a second chance for the 20th time. They don’t care about the player base especially the early fans. I love the game but I stopped caring once I saw the quality was on a decline. Just dragging the game and players in the mud. It’s clear as day so don’t be fooled and don’t give em a dime
No its not a good thing about the monthly subscription. But I still love apex none the less.
Release my child EA we don’t want you no more
disney is doomed
EA has more money than most of us could even dream of, the game IS dying and all they can think of his profit. Never in my life did I think I'd ever go back to minecraft lol
I am not buying season passes anymore and I will be keeping my spending to zero from now on.
if they give me some AC, skins, and packs i would pay every month
Imagine subscribing to a game 💀
Bit of a non issue the subscription service, no one's forcing anyone to buy it. It's still a free game 😂
lmao, can't believe people want EPG-1 in Apex
get ready for the spam and rage lmfao. I don't even understand how that weapon fits into Apex, let alone why people want it in
Most importantly, I don't know how people still play the game in the first place lol
wow, thats crazy
No one would care about this if they just upgraded the servers and just added more game mode just like call of duty is doing because call of duty is more fun than Apex will probably ever be
If they have artists working more on new game content (like the CEO and CFO explicitly said was coming), then it makes sense they couldn't put as much of their artistic resources into the new Universal.
What's hilarious is that they are spending less resources on a monetization effort.. so everyone is mad that it's lower effort? You complain when they put all those resources into monetization.. but you complain when they put less resources into monetization too.... 🤦♂🤦♂
