@reconzero I have a theory on why apex is the way it is.
The more aggressive you are, the more you tend to die early, to the point where a top ten can be called a good game as long as you have three kills. The more you die early, the more wins mean to you, as aggressive players generally won’t make it into the the top three. If you play passively, you tend to avoid fights, and consistently get top three, or to two. Getting a higher placement gets you a more happiness than getting kills. This brings me to my final point, and big theory, respawn and EA want you to play aggressive. The more aggressive you play the less happy with the game you are, so you search for that happiness in other places, which is where the monetization of you sadness comes into play. Just as you are about to set down the game becase you got one kill and died early, apex releases a new collection event with an heirloom for your main, and a new ltm promoting aggressive play. This hooks you back into the game, end encourages you to spend money, even when the event leaves you still have leftover happiness that slowly gets drained away with bad games, only to get a small boost when you win. Hypothesis: passive play mindset, or doing silly things and expecting death is better for your mental health and wallet.

Interesting theory. I like it. It explains why I haven't felt any need whatsoever to buy anything in this game. That's also explained by me being a cheap *. But I like your theory better. 😉
