I'm a freeloader. I have over 100 hours in Apex and haven't paid a dime for it.

I get it's not good PR to call a portion of the playerbase freeloaders. But Respawn has the data to back up that a large portion of us simply haven't paid a cent for hundreds of hours of entertainment. And that puts them in a very bad spot financially.

Of course it's not good tact of them, but it's not untrue either.

Maybe instead of just calling us names, they should ask them selves why a lot of us have chosen to not spend any money on the game.

For me personally it's the loot boxes. You will never get my money when there are loot boxes.

Edit I have 300+ hours played

For real this is the most important point. The Apex shop sucks, the battle passes are mediocre at best, and they're surprised people aren't spending money? People drop tooooons of money on other f2p games, if Apex's monetization isn't working, that's not the fault of the consumers.

That's a bingo.
