Apex Legends contributors answered player complaints about the cost of cosmetic items

As part of the session of answering questions on the site Reddit developers from the studio Respawn responded to player complaints about the too high cost of cosmetic items in Apex legends… Gamers noted that the cost of one skin can go up to $ 18.

According to the authors, they always try not to affect the gameplay by monetization, so that the game in no way turns into a “pay-to-win”. Then they start thinking about the other half of the equation.

“Content creation has a price. As much as people think that we can easily release cosmetic items because our competitors release content at a high rate, our team is much smaller and spends more time on skins. ”- Respawn.

The developers recalled that they cannot work around the clock, seven days a week and that cosmetic items require serious expenditure of man-hours for concepts, creation, testing, and so on.

In terms of cost, the authors want Apex Legends to continue for a very long time.

“Our ability to keep making the game depends on running a healthy business. We hope players will understand that we are working hard on balancing the value, but when you look at the big picture, it’s a daunting task.

Players want a lot from the Apex universe, and we want to give them a lot, but we can’t do that unless we end up being a healthy business. New modes, maps, features – all of this has a price that we are trying to maintain. ”- Respawn.

At the same time, the developers recalled that the game has the opportunity to receive rewards for free, including free rewards for the Battle Pass of the seasons.
