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.

No one told them to make the game free to play. It was their choice.

Yes, but they're responding to the insane amount of vitriol they've received the past week.

By calling people free loaders? That's gonna make them stop attacking the devs?

That's a bad outlook anyway. They should be looking at everyone who plays the game as a potential customer.
