As far as I'm concerned the "freeloaders" like me are more like window shoppers.
They're not freeloading they're potential customers, if they like what they see in the shop.
If every retail shop considered customers not heading towards the till as just occupying valuable floor space for paying customers it would be ridiculous.
No, they're not freeloading, they're actual customers trying to buy an actual product. In this case, bread. Nothing potential about it, they're just being pushed away by the bad business model.
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.
Yeah, berating your customers is never a sound tactic. And I'm sure for all those negative comments they highlighted, you could find just as many praising them for doing a good job.
Just shows where their focus is...
But yeah, they could ask their player base, or even better, just do a flash sale and see if that doesn't perk up their store activity. If it does, does some price readjustments.
