I will more than happily spend money on this game when the Battle Passes are out, but I am more and more tempted to splash some support on the less value-for-money apex packs too.
In response to that little explosion someone had all emotional and triggered - you do you, whatever you want, everyone knows that. But do not spread the message 'don't spend a single dollar on this game, you can just cheap it out, use it up, complain on forums and then go to the next free game for a couple of months'. Devs did an incredible job with Apex Legends, and if I have fun, I will always support the team, provided I'm happy with the way they update, patch and add new content.
I don't think a person with serious financial problems or a 13-yo kid with poor parents should feel obliged to spend, but to keep this real, there are also a lot of people who don't want to support because of excuses and being stingy - sure, almost no-one is a millionaire, but many take the game for granted too. If you look at your spending patterns, I'm sure you'll find random $10 wastes of money for momentary pleasure, some drinks at the bar, some food in the restaurant, some other lame purchases, so for someone to say they can't afford a one-off $10 battle pass for 3 months, they really must be ones of the very few financially disabled people out there, and then it's totally cool not to support.
Emotional breakdown? I simply stated that my family lives paycheck to paycheck. That's not being dramatic, that's a reality many families live in, in case you didn't know. What I replied to in an aggressive Manor was to someone who called people who don't pay for in-game stuff leeches and lowlife's. Yeah, you read that right. All I said was that if you don't spend money in-game, that doesn't make you a leech and a lowlife. So is that what you think too?
