@sF_DemonicTim Firstly, congratulations on the 30,000 or so kills. I'm a pretty casual player so I'm probably only around a tenth of that so far.
However I don't think the game should be labeled as a write off simply because of their choice of monetisation this time around.
With this latest event, it's difficult to contest the fact that Respawn has presented exactly what people had been asking for.
Since the game was released, a percentage of the community wanted a single player mode and before that a ranked mode.
Those less inclined to focus on competitive gameplay wanted cosmetics. And of course there have always been those who want the games core mechanics to be refined as time goes on.
The Iron Crown update cemented evidence to say Respawn want to provide players with the content they ask for.
So I don't think you should quit over what is likely (but not confirmed to be) EA's meddling in the form of inflated monetisation.
If we have concerns with how things are being presented to us, then we have the right to voice the and we need to talk about them with the developers and publishers. If we don't things won't improve.
So quitting won't solve anything.
Arguably overpriced cosmetics are absolutely not necessities in Apex Legends, so if you enjoy playing a game you are clearly good at, then why quit. If you quit, you won't be around to see if things change for the better. You just have to bare in mind that changes come over time though.
But as you wait for them there certainly isn't anything stopping you exploring other IPs.
