I think that you are wrong to have this attitude about Apex, you DO NOT deserve to get lots of progression,unlocks, skins, and everything for FREE whilst the developers have spent millions to make this game. I work in the software development industry so let me explain;
A game developers salary is anywhere between 25,000 - 70,000GBP per year depending on their experience and coding skills. There will probable be about 20 programmers working on the game, meaning they are spending 500,000-1,400,000GBP per year just on programmers salaries. Then you have graphic designers, Music, art, producers, etc; and on top of that they will have software license fees, bills, HR staff, etc meaning they are now spending millions of GBP per year making this game. probably running into the 10's of millions per year to make the game, and since the game isnt finished whilst they are making it, they are spending their own money in the process to get a finished product, taking a chance on a game that could fail.
They have been working on this game for a few years, starting as Titanfall 3 and then eventually shaping into Apex. I could put the estimated cot of the project as anywhere between 30-50 million GBP as a rough estimate, and they are allowing millions of players around the world to play for FREE....their starter pack only cost 3.99GBP, and you absolutely CANNOT buy anything that is considered P2W or gives you an advantage. They give you some customisation for free, on top of everything else you have had for free. A sweet game, not P2W, balanced, and it doesn't cost you a penny. If everyone of their 25 million players bought the starter pack, which as of a few days ago was 100% of the playerbase, after taxes and stuff they would probably only break even. If you enjoy Apex stop being such a cheap * ******** and support the game, buy the supporters pack, founders if you like it that much. Get the battlepasses, etc; but you have no room to complain when you have committed NOTHING to EA/Respawn and yet are expecting everything in return.

Your entire logic is flawed and counter productive. You keep making completely false accusations that "people want stuff for free". No it's quite simple they want an equivalent exchange for their money.
This current system they have is going to turn a lot of people away seeing EA's typical nonsense of horrible compensation for your money. I'm only here because I actually enjoy the gameplay of the game, but the publisher EA I really am not fond of in any shape or form. Apex was genuinely unique to the BR scene.
I've purchased the founder pack and additional $10 in apex coins and got almost nothing that I wanted to use. No skins for the champ I main, and was just a complete utter waste of money at the end of it all.
Your math is horrendously flawed as well. You literally think the production of this game was more $$ value than $30 x 25 million? You're absolutely naïve and the fact you tout such nonsense show's you have no ability to formulate a point of view that should be taken seriously.
