What has Apex cost you?
I'm curious. After reading another thread here where the poster lamented being unable to play on the account he'd spent 600 euros on due to sbmm, and after looking up the exchange rate of usd to eur...
I've bought the battle pass, but what keeps me from spending more money on this is that I play at EA's pleasure. My account, and everything in it, exists at their pleasure, I don't own it. So if buy a skin, I don't own it. I can't even play the game if they cut me off for some reason. I know we often mock those who are banned and say "I did nuffin!" but we all know we're dealing with a cold corporate entity here. It can happen.
For that, i won't spend a lot. I certainly won't put heart and soul into it.
I think I'm $40-$50 in and I'm fine with the game. The hours of entertainment I have received for $50 is well worth it. Will I spend more? If it continues to be enjoyable for me and there is something cool to spend some money on.
@Nurrffed I understand what you're saying though. Anything can happen.
My first time pre-ordering games was a horrible experience and because of that, I have never done it again.
I pre-ordered the first SWBF and The Division 1 and dropped $100 on each to get both special editions. Big mistake, both games went on sale for 50% the next month, SWBF went on sale for I believe $20... and that was the special edition, both games eventually offered the content I paid for for free the next year....... ☹️
season 0 until mid season 2 I played with a regular group and had no problem spending. Code errors drove all of them off the game. I decided then that I would not spend any more money and haven’t since. I would guess prior to my spending freeze between mine and my sons accounts it would be 500-750.
And yes I am angry paying and supporting a game that just flips on itself so much. This game has great potential but falls short with every dc.
