I am just here to complain about loot boxes

I stopped buying EA games or giving money to EA because everything they have done lately has locked content that is core to a game hidden as DLC or in loot boxes. This happened with Star Wars Battlefront 2 which was a great game made with a pay to win and just bad look box system.

Apex Legends has a better loot box system but that wasn't exactly hard to accomplish. Each loot box grants you 3 items and the only items worth having cost you 1200 of some currency that you can only get from loot boxes; each time you get currency is * all. The game feels like it wants to force you to spend money. I'm all for spending money on games but this is bonkers. The Apex coins are $15 NZD for 1000 coins. A gun skin in the shop is 1800 coins. Sure the game was free but that is some crazy money to drop. My actual issue with this is it isn't even a micro transaction, its a macro transaction. I don't want to spend money on this company. I am going to play this for a little while and then drop it like a used tissue and move on without paying a cent because EA makes a great game and then says "What can we remove and make as DLC", "How can we make profit from this part of the game" and "How can we make more money". You are actually the Peter Jackson of gaming.

Dear EA,

Can you please cut the *. Make your loot boxes not just a money maker, can we actually get some content. Please make us get a loot box every level to at least pretend you care about the players more than the money.

Its all good to have purchasable loot, but when it costs more than a meal is where it is an issue. Care about your player base and try get the bulk to contribute to your game rather than milk the small amount of people that will pay.

Sincerely, A Former fan
