New Apex Legends players frustrated with \u201cpredatory\u201d FF7 Rebirth event Respawn EntertainmentNew Apex Legends players arriving from the recent Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth crossover are claiming they\u2019re frustrated with the \u201cpredatory\u201d event. Over the last few years, the Apex Legends community has pleaded with the devs for more events and limited-time game modes. In recent months, we\u2019ve seen the Respawn devs act on that feedback, notably teaming up with music artist Post Malone for a special one-off event in late 2023, bringing a new LTM and unique skins. More recently, an unexpected announcement at The Game Awards saw Apex Legends crossover with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for an event. However, players new to the game are frustrated, claiming the event is \u201cpredatory\u201d with its \u201coutrageous\u201d prices. New Apex player calls out devs over \u201cpredatory\u201d event In a Reddit post on January 27, an Apex Legends player who had only just begun playing the battle royale recently with the Final Fantasy 7 event hit out with their concerns. \u201cNow with the event over soon I have no more chances to unlock packs and I didn\u2019t get any character skins or the heirloom, it\u2019s also impossible to unlock the victory pose and deathbox as well,\u201d the player explained. \u201cIs this how all Apex events are?\u201d They added: \u201cThe prices seem outrageous and this whole event seems very predatory. I thought I would be able to grind the Gil and get packs but that was clearly never an option.\u201d In the replies, it\u2019s clear many feel the same way, with multiple claiming EA \u201cjust wants to make money\u201d from Apex players. However, on the other hand, as veteran players explained, this event far better than usual with free rewards. \u201cThis event is actually far more generous than a normal event in terms of free stuff,\u201d said one. They added: \u201c3 event packs, 3 thematic packs, 6 normal packs, and 3 epic packs is more free stuff than any other event ever.\u201d With the devs looking to keep the game fresh with more events, we could see some changes in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
