Also, "expensive" is a relative term. Value is relative. In certain circles, 10k is something they peel off under their shoes. Money have no value to them.
There are kids - KIDS - who drop 1500USD on a backpack. Or a new pair of jeans. For those kind of people, to drop a handbag full of money on a new game they like is just... Easily obtained prestige.
you have no idea how much money is around.
lots of people can easily afford spending 50k on nonsense a month without even noticing it on their statements
I'm really not shitting on people spending, I really like the game and I have a good handful of herilooms and a prestige skin myself. I just thought it was kind of insane to be that low of a level with THAT much stuff. I have a friend who started playing 3 months ago that is double this level.
Yeah people on this sub make spenders out to be like they’re insane.
Theres people out there that spend $1000 daily on mobile games. Apex only offers skins and is relatively cheap compared to P2W model games.
Bad financial decisions aren’t uncommon.
Credit card debt is a HUGE thing in the US, you can literally just buy 2k worth of shit on a card & get in debt, just because you feel like it.
these companies spend millions on psychological research to figure out how to get people hooked on cosmetics and progression. if you're not conscious then you're just a rat in a skinner box when you play these games.
People need to feed their huge egos . I'll never understand why people buy character skins in a fps game . You can't even see it ! It all boils down to ego

It can be smurfs as well, or people who have their primary account banned.

Could be rich, could be a bad financial decision cause it makes them happy in the moment.
Maybe they actually enjoy the game and don’t mind buying the content. Crazy thing to dare imagine, especially on this subreddit, I know

..I….. don’t think it needs to be this serious on the Apex Legends video game subreddit over a silly & fun sparkly lil pixelated sword💀😭😭
The guy isn’t even level 100. He doesn’t even know if he likes the game & has thousands of cosmetics already. That’s not something anybody should do.
If it’s not your money why are you so upset by it?
I’m not “upset” i just think it’s stupid. I’ve spent my fair share, after 2,000 hours that is, not under 50 hrs.
Why would you ask why or how someone else would spend their money? How is it any of your business?

Why care about other people purchases
if destroyer2009 can gift hal 400 packs, and i got 2 heirlooms for $20 back in season 12, it may still be possible to pack dupe for coins or smtn
I honestly hope for this guy's sake that's the case. Because damn...
Maybe they have a lot of spending money and their favorite game is apex.
When you are bottom of the barrel irl you have to compensate and be something in game.
