Respawn is fighting fire with fire in a way that is taking the Apex Legends community aback in a dispute about microtransactions.
is a free game which is supported entirely by its microtransactions, and like any free game, the vast majority of players do not spend money on it. But the negative connotations of the word “freeloader” have set players off, in conjunction with these other comments.
While I understand how frustrating is to deal with toxic gamers, there are two issues at play here. First, Respawn is lumping everyone together here, the toxic players and those with genuine concerns about the format of the event and the recent changes, and then there’s the notion that this is the correct way to respond.
Past this, Respawn has now made the story about these incendiary comments, and it would seem they’re actively harming themselves in the process with the community. I am not saying that there are not loads of toxic people in these threads taking things too far, but there is a reason you rarely ever see devs respond like this. Some may consider it freeing and justified, but it’s also easy to classify as unprofessional and unwise.
I have reached out to EA and Respawn to see if they have any additional comments or clarifications on these comments. I will update if I hear back.
