@PretzleMe @EgoMania the thing is as far as i know they havent given us a date.. furthermore they DID NOT get their data from players, they got their data from "telemetry" (they even said it right on the live stream). they looked at what weapons are used the most/least and adjusted them as they saw fit. never once did they say they read the forums or anything like that. also.. they arent making anything off the microtransactions! only a fool would do it for one thing and for another at best you can probably buy your way to apex 12000 if you were to spend around 300$, by then you are paying about 25$ for each n7 you still need and as you get more and more of them that number goes up.
oh.. dont compare videogames to movies, its about the worst comparison you can make. may as well compare how much you spent on a wife and say "..and shes lasted me 12 years" or a meal at a 5 star restaurant "may have cost 50$ but that was 1 delicious 3/4 lb steak!". compare it to the hundreds of hours you get out of terraria or minecraft for 20$ (or 1$..), compare it to the thousands of hours you get out of civ 5 or some f2p mmo like path of exile, atleast then you are in the right neighborhood.
