I have zero love for games companies that try milk players like that and don't invest any of that money into making their games better or more enjoyable.

@1ronKeysAgreed 100%. This is my biggest gripe. We aren't seeing near the level of content even Premium Passes gave us, and Apex is making at on of cash on these events and packs.

A lot of noise has been made recently that Sony is anti consumer for exclusive deals like Spider-man in Avengers. But Sony turns all the success back around into their product to offer even better stuff for their consumers. They heavily invest in first party studios to bring games like Spider-man, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Dreams, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc....most recently acquiring Insomniac Games. PS Plus gives free games and discounts every month, including new games like Fall Guys. PSVR is the only VR experience on console. They have awesome new hardware on the way in PS5. The list goes on...

Sony isn't stacking paper for investors. Maybe EA isn't either, but where is the content? Where is TitanFall 3? Where is Battlefront 3 or another Mirror's Edge game or a new AAA IP? Sony and Nintendo do these type of things. I don't see this from EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc.

  My other major gripe is that we have seen very little added to the Apex pack loot pool. It's watered down with stat trackers, cut and paste common and rare skins, etc. I rarely even see Epic drops, much less Legendary. I've gotten only a couple of good items in the packs this year. The ceiling for getting something desirable is way too low. There is no incentive for me to even want to open any, much less buy them. For an heirloom? LOL!!!! I've made my thoughts very clear on that subject.

    £16 for a skin is criminal.
    No one in their right mind pays that.
    The only people who pay that are parents because of clueless children throwing tantrums because they "neeed it" and paying it just for peace and quiet.
    A game RRP is like 50, extra content should only really come at paying the cost of a "deluxe" edition.
    I know people whos spend £3000 on FIFA. It shouldn't even be possible for that to happen.
