Why people are not buying enough - explanation

Hello Respawn, Today I've read the so called discussion which is going on on the Internet regarding calling the players freeloaders and some other insults fired from both sides. As a gamer for years...

@-BiA-Pesqez i have to disagree, Ea LOVES bad press. They would do anything in a heartbeat for it hahaha

But jokes aside there would have to be a lot of changes to Origin Platform. Id imagine heirlooms would act as the knifes/gloves for apex but i dont know much about EA's other titles and their Cosmetics and if theyre even desirable.

What csgo did amazing was the trade up contract. Making crappy skins actually worth something in the long run. Games like Pubg failed to do this and so now you have a market crash. i swear like 85% of the Cosmetics in pubg are worth only 3 cents.

@PlugYourMuddFor the possible trading platform - it does not have to be Origin Based I think it can be developed purely in-game.

As for PUBG - it is a military-based game with real working camouflage and in such game you don't need pink-white-unicorn-sniper or a red-pirate uniform visible from 2 miles away, but a "real" thing which would help you in game. This was their mistake and it cost them much.

@D3loFFwell if you remember correct, the skins worth the most werent military skins, they were skirts, leopard bandannas and other really fruity things. The military skins were always somewhere in the middle.Their mistake wasn't necassarily the quality of skins, it was the restrictions. PUBG implemented a no trade policy on skins. All skins HAVE to go thru the market. this happened when Valve was cracking down on the gambling sites and put a 2 week waiting period on trades. Those restrictions REALLY hurt their market big time

  i guess my point is, if they were to do in game trading/market, i don't really want to see restrictions that can kill their economy. The freedom to do whatever with your skins in csgo is what made it so amazing. The fact that i sold an AK skin to preorder CyberPunk 2077 is awesome.

    @PlugYourMudd Awesome, that's what I'm talking about - you had something with real-life value and traded it for something else. Nice move you pulled out there.
