Legends Sponsors

I know this probably won't be the most popular idea, but what if companies could "sponsor" legends? From what I understand, the set up with Apex Legends is that it's a competition kind of set up similar to Death Race or something. It would fit into the game's narrative if we saw skins that were sponsored by companies and, honestly, it'd be kind of cool to see as well. Not to mention that it would generate some revenue and, hopefully, in return the game would receive the most attention it deserves. I get that it's essentially product placement, but with a free to play game Respawn/EA needs to make money and this would be an interesting way that fits into the game, as opposed to more micro transactions.

  • Those skins would still be micro transactions lol. Personally I think it would be cooler if they made more in shop skins that are timed in the shop. If they released another knife skin in the shop (same punch animation just see the knife in running or maybe a custom animation but same damage?) for 30 bucks I bet they would make a boat load of cash. Right now the gun skins are pretty boring... they also need to make more shiney interesting skins

    I don't think they'd necessarily be micro transactions, rather unlockables with one of in game currencies (red/blue ones). Unless Respawn/EA wanted to be known as the "dirty double dealers" by charging the sponsor and consumer. I mean I know EA isn't above it, but I think they're trying to stay hands off with this game.

    Also, did you just say 30 bucks for a knife skin? I hope by bucks you mean the in game currency, which I don't remember the name of.

    Knives go for that much on popular games like this, if its cheap then its nothing to show off, you seem to really not want to spend money on a free game lol theres a reason they dont cater to that mind set. Free advertisement skins are fine... but enough is free as it is right now, all classes will be free they already are generous with giving skins that nobody should complain

    That's presumptuous on your part to think I wouldn't spend money, or rather that I haven't spent money, on a free game. Aside from that, no one is complaining about the amount of what's free in this game. The point of this topic was to suggest something that I, personally, thought would be cool and fit into the game's narrative and world. If the devs do use an idea like this then they can charge for all I care, but the general idea was an interesting, and innovative, way to generate revenue aside from microtransactions.
