Following the release of the Iron Crown event in Apex Legends, fans of the game were understandably displeased with the pricing of the new event loot, some of which would set players back well over £100 to purchase.
Over the weekend, Respawn took to reddit to explain the team understood the feedback, and announce changes would be made to the game in order to make the monetisation more fair.
But the drama didn’t end there – the Apex Legends subreddit descended into a bit of a mess, as riled fans and exasperated developers turned to insulting each other over the whole debacle.
Yesterday, Respawn’s CEO took to Twitter to apologise for the developer’s comments, stressing the importance of fostering a healthy community for Apex Legends.
“On Friday, we gave Apex fans an update in how we were changing the Iron Crown event. Some of the team then joined a discussion with our community on Reddit, and things got to a pretty bad place. Some of our folks crossed the line with their comments, and that’s not how we want Respawn to be represented,” wrote Vince Zampella.
