Respawn Entertainment has apologized for its way of setting up an iron crown limited-time collection at Apex Legends, which produced the trophy box - Apex Packs - the only way to get some exclusive items. Apex Legends project lead Drew McCoy wrote a blog post acknowledging that the company "missed the mark" at the event and apologized for "violating our commitment."

 
 

“One of the core decisions in the development of Apex Legends is that we want to make a world-class battle royale game – quality, depth, progress, and for today's conversations, how we sell things is important,” McCoy wrote. “With the Iron Crown event, we missed our commitment, and by making Apex Packs we were the only way many people thought it was the coolest skin we released.”
 
The Iron Crown event has been strongly resisted by quite a few players, especially if you find that you can buy a Bloodhound suit in order to buy Bloodhound, you first need to spend about 112 pounds on Apex Packs. At that time, as detailed by Eurogamer, the Bloodhound set can be bought at the store... There are also 3,500 Apex coins, or about £25.
 
Starting August 20th, all 12 legendary items from the Iron Crown will be rotated through the Apex Legends store during the last week of the event. You can buy 1,800 Apex coins, which is the normal store price for legends.
 
McCoy said that future Apex Legends activities will include more ways to make money, not just buying Apex Packs.
 
McCoy went on to say that in the future, the team hopes to keep in touch with the players.
 
"We need to better understand the expectations of our players for the various event structures of Apex Legends," he said. “In the past six months, we have been learning a lot of real-time services about running free games. One of the gains this week (beyond the above mentioned) is that our expectations message needs to be clearer.”
 
He explained that the idea is to let all players benefit when someone chooses to spend money on the game, and they never sell any competitive advantage.
 
"Our goal is not to squeeze out the last penny from the player, and we have built the game, and all players can benefit from those who choose to spend money - like the legendary Iron Crown hunt, we can continue Investing creates more free content for all players," McCoy said. “This week is a huge learning experience for us. We are in class and continue to bring you the best experience.”Respawn Entertainment has apologized for its way of setting up an iron crown limited-time collection at Apex Legends, which produced the trophy box - Apex Packs - the only way to get some exclusive items.
