"I have an idea to get rid of cheaters and give more funding to improve the servers and get rid of the lag. Make this game a paid service! Charge $20 to $50 per month to play the game and make a rule that cheaters will be banned. Also, make people identify themselves via text message to start an account. That way, it will solve the cheating problem and the game will be profitable enough where more staff can be hired."

50 dollars a month to play? that's 600 a year. Are you out of your mind? That would kill the game in an instant. Even 240 a year is a bit steep since most AAA a games will run about 70-90 and you pay once and have them forever (Baldurs Gate 3 is a great example).

If EA implemented a 20+ dollar a month Charge to play Apex they would get exactly Zero (0) month's of play from me.

"Make a rule that cheaters will be banned" This is already in place, EA bans confirmed cheaters.

"Also, make people identify themselves via text message to start an account" We have 2FA for this, along with e-mail etc.

Ideas are great to have but they should be reasonable and a 600 a year sub to play is not reasonable the hardware to play the games is already not cheap. console will run you just under your suggested sub price and a decent PC is = or > than double that.

@Asmodeus566 Well said. And based on how many posts you see day to day here about accounts being stolen, imagine the feeling of you have opted to pay for a full year on some small discount and somebody hacks & steals your account.

GENERAL RANT:

Spoiler

I wouldnt even pay 50 dollars for a year to play. This you own nothing and everything is subsciption based only is mixing peoples heads.

You buy a skin in a game. Is it now your property and what rights do you have for it? You cant really sell it onwards let alone download it to your computer to use on a another account.

I personally rather (and actually chose to) support Respawn in their business by buying Jedi: Fallen Order from steam sales for 4€ which is about the same as 1000 apex coins.

You cant really get even a Legendary skin from the store for that money and in return you get about +30h single player campaigns worth of gaming.

Steam has the same that even though I bought the game I cannot sell in onwards or even play it offline and if I dont play by their rules they can "remove my property" from my account but I feel this "rented" life is unavoidable and I just have to cope with it the best I can.
