Time event "Iron Crown" in was criticized due to expensive microtransactions. To get all the items, users had to spend over 13 thousand rubles. The developers then changed the system to allow players to buy specific items with premium currency, bypassing loot boxes. This also did not suit the fans, which angered the authors who were tired of the claims. Respawn Entertainment representatives began to respond extremely rudely on the forum using insults.
The lead developer of battle royale, dk05, didn't try to find the words: "I've been playing games long enough and I remember the times when users didn't think with their asses and the situation was better." He also called users "free content lovers" in another post, and clarified that Respawn still respects the community. Here, a representative of the studio said that only a small percentage of the total number of players spend money on Apex Legends. 44yu
In response to one of the scathing comments, dk05 wrote: βI found that idiot I mentioned. You know, a scumbag like you doesn't deserve an answer. I didn't even read the entire comment, only the first and last sentences." The Respawn community relations manager joined the discussion and stated that players can supposedly scold the developers, but they cannot be answered with the same coin.
Many of the authors' comments later began to be deleted, which only further angered the fans. They wrote an open letter in which they said: "We understood what the tone of communication with you should be in the future and we will not forget what happened." Respawn and Electronic Arts did not give official comments regarding the current situation.
