Apex Legends Iron Crown parody slams microtransaction controversy Respawn EntertainmentThe Apex Legends community have not been appreciating trends in the Iron Crown in-game event, and a parody reflecting on the outrage has been hitting all the right notes with players so far. The overflow of praises that Respawn Entertainment\u2019s battle royale received immediately after its February 4 launch seems to have quieted down in the aftermath of questionable microtransactions introduced in the Iron Crown event. From social media sites like Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, and the like, Apex Legends players have been strongly voicing their opposition against bizarre revenue tactics that are offering players Iron Crown Event Packs for roughly $7 each. In a YouTube video that\u2019s proving to be incredibly popular with the Apex community, content creator \u2018Retrospect\u2019 sliced and diced various clips from Avengers: Infinity War, Twitch streamers and more to troll the company on their latest tactics in the game. \u201cSpent two days editing the \u2018Iron Crown\u2019 trailer to better reflect the communities opinion on Loot Boxes,\u201d Restrospect said. It seems like the effort paid off in full as people in the Apex Legends community have been responding tremendously well to the YouTuber\u2019s video promoting the \u201cGo Fuck Yourself \u2013 Limited Time Mode.\u201d The video touches on the disappointing drops that come out of the Apex Packs, the mass disappointment from the community in response to them, and EA\u2019s apparent looming presence that the community is convinced is behind it all. \u201cThis game is absolutely amazing and I\u2019ve spent countless hours into it,\u201d Restrospect explained to someone out of the loop on the Apex Legends hate. \u201cThe devs are incredible\u2026 the problem lies with these new loot boxes. It\u2019s $7 per box and it\u2019s a random chance for you to get one of the special items that\u2019s come out with the new event. Plain and simple scummy\u201d While there\u2019s still a ton of positives for the actual game of Apex Legends, the new Iron Crown event hasn\u2019t inspired much trust in the community after the August 13 update. The parody has been a hit with Apex Legends fans, and if anything could be a great source of rich feedback in case the company behind the game wants to find a way to win favor with their audience again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
