Seasoned Ace

Re: Exotic shards has got to be a joke, right?

@reconzero I see buying stuff on a free to play game as a way of saying thanks for a good product in the hopes that it contributes to it continuing. When you pay up front the risk is yours, when it is free to pay the risk is on the developer. Needless to say, I have not spent real money on Apex since the first Battlepass I bought when I started playing in Season 8.

I too ponied up at the end of the first year as "thanks" for Winter Express. But that's why I pony up, to thank for something good in the hope that good things would continue to come, as you say. Hence my one and only payout to Respawn in 21 seasons.

But I'm confounded by the people who collect everything to the tune of vast sums of money that they could be putting in an IRA, a college fund, or even just using to take their sweetheart out for a nice dinner.
