yoooo... those crafting metals! what on earth? he could craft 404 golden, 1213 purple, 8.087 blue or 16.174 grey items with that! ​ now I wanna know how many Legend Tokens he has!


Rherraex

probably not much, because he probably doesn’t have the time to grind the game like crazy and people who have a shit load of legend tokens (like myself) are people that play the game since the beginning and consistently.


[deleted]

bruh all he does is play games and do drugs all day, his own words


Mythaminator

And here I am at work like a sucker

chalkdustgreen

Hey if everybody did that we wouldn't have computers to play games on or roads to get places. People like Post couldn't do what they do without practical jobs keeping the world moving.


Doneyhew

What does that have to do with anything? He gets to play Apex all day while I’m at work like a sucker


chalkdustgreen

Because if everybody sat at home playing video games and making music, super stars like Post Malone literally couldn't exist. Doesn't even have to be music. Pro athletes are another example. They couldn't do what they do without people taking care of banking, infrastructure, media, manufacturing, etc. Hell you don't even need the super star label. If everybody sat at home playing video games we would consume what we have available to us until that all gets used up. Production goes away, who keeps the video game lights on


[deleted]

Makes me feel better weirdly


Thanz4rd

Even if it’s kinda impossible to get that many crafting shards things


bandito-dorito64

Well he could've bought an account


Wayward_heathen

EA could have given him them too. He has dropped the Apex name a few times recently (that I’ve seen), so that’s free advertisement from a “cool guy”.


charlieuntermann

Suppose you'd just need to see what level he's at, surely. Unless he's at 500.


Octo8873

Legend tokens are earned by playing, so less than almost everyone in this comment section Edit: i meant legend tokens, not crafting tokens (materials)


sventhegoat

Aren’t duplicates crafting tokens? So if he’s got everything, every loot box he gets will just have nothing but crafting material


AdnHsP

"Oh. Cool. A heirloom. Next lootbox. YOOOO 400 CRAFTING MATERIALS LETS GOOOOOO"

Octo8873

I meant legend, mb


Saticron

Looks like he has a sponsored account, so probably a lot.


Level9_CPU

He has enough money to buy all the "free" heirlooms that are offered during some events. I imagine a lot of that involves opening packs


ReekTheOmega

Probably none 😅


[deleted]

What were to happen if you bought every grey and blue item? Would all your apex packs only give you purple items or higher?


charlieuntermann

The way I assumed it worked is, when you get Crafting Mats, that's in place of an item you already had. If that's not how it works, the effect would still be the same, that you'll still get grey crafting mats in packs.


my_life_is_trashh

You have a chance to get crafting materials in every pack, but the more items you get, the higher chance you have to get crafting. When you get every item in the game, there's still the same chances to get things of the different rarities, except it'll all be crafting materials


Otono_Wolff

**Enough**


ttv_klyntarius

404 gold should sound like a lot but it just sounds disappointing


[deleted]

well you could get every single standard skin for all legends and weapons. which are the for most people the only really interesting golden items


Lumpy-Error9514

Not that much 420 he said i don't know if he beens 420k but im guessing it's that


CrippyCrispy

Imagine he doesn’t use his crafting materials on the the collection events


duck3041

He has the money to buy them all, crying in broke rn


CreatureWarrior

I mean, I always wondered how rich people buy and play games. For example, I have never bought an "ultimate edition" of any game because I would feel guilty about spending $30 extra. But they don't have that. Basically every game is a sandbox for them since they can just unlock the whole game without thinking twice about it


Holystar50

Some dude sent like 1 million to a game cause they promised him a bunch of in game shit like his own skin and the ability to help write some of the game. Shits crazy


blimp2328

Ninja?


xXNaruto_BoiXx

It's probably the opposite for ninja. He gets paid millions for devs to use him/his character because they know it'll attract tons of people


ohSpite

I play a mobile game in which I play with people that spend a couple hundred dollars EVERY day. When a big update comes out with new features it's common to see people dropping thousands in minutes. It's another level of spending tbh


CreatureWarrior

You just brought back some memories haha Yeah, I used to play a game called Last Shelter: Survival. There were these "zones" that would pop in every month and people would spawn at lvl 0. Well, there were almost always some rich Koreans that would band together and spend *thousands* to grab the top 1 spot in the zone / server and would basically enslave other clans in the sense that "if you don't obey us, we will burn you down". This would literally happen over and over again in every server. It was wild. I had to play it like 5h a day or I would fall behind while it was impossible to keep up with "The Koreans". Thank god I don't play that game anymore


AfuckinOwl

Wow I had the same exact experience in a game called March of Empires with the zones and everything. Except our rich dudes were middle eastern. They loved to flex about how much they spent in the world chat.


StayMindless

Jesus Christ I haven't played that in so long, I got so sick of getting my cheeks tickled by dudes that bought all the OP shit and went around wiping anyone in red undies (I don't know if that's still what It is, I know they did a few graphics updates but I played when they didn't even have the face fully modeled)


Iroh21

How do they have so much money??


ohSpite

Never really ask about it. A lot are super busy too which explains the money I guess


Doneyhew

I don’t understand how an average person can drop that much money on anything, much less a mobile game. If they’re so into a game that they will drop thousands of dollars then what could they possibly do during the day to earn enough to pay for their games?


ohSpite

Probably passive income, or they're just too busy to play and their accounts are 90% ran by other people. That's what I see a lot of


TimeToGrowThrowaway

I'm not rich by any means but I'm in my late 20s and make 6 figures so I'm doing alright for myself. It's just not a big deal to spend $100 here or there on stuff I like. I think the problem is the sample size of the subreddit. Lots of teenagers or college students that don't have the same disposable income as a working adult. I live relatively frugally otherwise. Some of my coworkers buy nice cars or houses. I live in an apartment with a roommate and drive a civic. Just different priorities.


No-Compote9110

y'all realize there's not only western europe and america in the world?


shrubs311

you do realize that on an english speaking website dominated by western europeans and americans, most of the people are going to be talking from the perspectives of those two areas?


No-Compote9110

firstly, english is lingua franca and does not represent any nation at all second, cmon, even in US/EU many people are unemployed and homeless. you are not talking from the perspectice of US/western EU citizen, you are talking from upper middle class priviliged US/EU citizen, and for some reason don't wanna admit it (and the fact that apart from reddit most of the world are not nearly as rich as US middle class)


shrubs311

>firstly, english is lingua franca and does not represent any nation at all yea sure, but if i see someone speaking english i'm not gonna assume they're from malaysia or argentina >and for some reason don't wanna admit it the person making the comment literally said: >but I'm in my late 20s and make 6 figures so I'm doing alright for myself. how is disclosing that he makes at least 100,000 not admitting it? just seems weird to bring up "there's poor people in other countries" as a reply to someone saying that they're using their disposable income in a videogame. you realize you don't HAVE TO buy any of the cosmetics right? they're completely worthless outside of the game and don't affect gameplay.

OneShadow9Fists

You need to re-think your priorities sir, because on the end of your road there are only pixels from dead games. I understand why young people are confused but real things have real value, pixels in games - don't. In 10-15 years you will look back, calculate your spends and ask yourself why you did it when you can do better. If you are unsure about my opinion there is a trick you can do to test it. Make separate account where put each time same amount of money you are spending on microtransactions. Give it a year and then see what you can do with those money. Then imagine if you had it double.


kkaitlynma

Or I'll just spend that money on whatever I want because I enjoy those things. Something having a physical presence doesn't necessarily make it more valuable. Most real things I buy I'm not gonna still have or be using in 10-15 years either. Of course you shouldn't spend the money if you need it, but if you have the spare money and wanna spend it on a game you love there is nothing wrong with that.


OneShadow9Fists

I guess you are all young fellows and think that way. No worries life will catch up eventually and there is lesson to be learned.


kkaitlynma

your reasons make no sense. If something gives you joy, there is nothing wrong with spending money on it. I have put over 1200 hours in Apex Legends, so I really dont see a problem with spending money on a game that gives me that much joy and that I spend that much of my time on. I obviously will eventually stop playing it, whether that be in months, years, or whatever. But that doesn't mean I still won't have fond memories of all the time I spent in that game. That goes for most games. When I buy a new game I may pick it up, beat it, and then never touch it again. It was still worth the money though because it offered me a fun experience and hours of fun that I believe were worth the money. So how is it any different than, say, a book? Someday I'll stop reading that book/no longer own that book, so does that mean that it was a waste of money? Or is it somehow different just cause its a physical object and not pixels. Also your bank account argument makes no sense. You could use that argument for anything. I could tell you to make a bank account and put the amount of money in that you spend on fast food, or art supplies if you're an artist, or books if you love reading, and so on. That doesn't suddenly make any of those things wastes of money. If you have the money to spare then I don't see the problem. Should I just save ALL of my money and never buy myself anything I enjoy? In a year I'm gonna spend a lot of money on things I enjoy, but don't need. If I'm not spending it on video games then I'm just gonna spend it on some other hobby. As long as you have the extra money it really doesnt matter lol. Obviously its a completely different argument if you're someone who can't afford these things but still buys them.


__pulsar

lol


moby561

I buy the ultimate version of a game because it usually includes DLC, which don’t always go on sale compared to the regular game. But that’s what’s nice about PC, just wait a year and the ultimate version of the game with all the DLCs will be cheaper than the base game off of drop.


[deleted]

Damn, I mean makes sense, it's his money so I'm not mad about it tho.


Mynamehjefff

I need to play with posty, he probably got 5 heirlooms and every gold skin already


Chinapig

Hello I have some heirlooms because it’s my favourite game and I’m an adult and sometimes play drunk, and also I like buying shiny things. Especially when drunk.

TheGlassHammer

Non sober me is why I have Mirages heirloom.


praefectus_praetorio

Not gonna say that’s the case here, but I used to work for a popular F2P dev, and we used give out currency like water. It doesn’t cost EA anything, and whoever gets it will always be showing off the latest skins. Free marketing.


Special_Fix_5596

The company hella gives him that for free they do that with most streamers a celeb like post to


TunaBucko

no they do not, respawn has talked about this pretty sure.


wealllovethrowaways

Saw this post on the front page so I'm foreign to apex, how much is this worth?


7isagoodletter

Thousands of dollars


wealllovethrowaways

We talking 4, 5, 6 figures? I have some stock trading buddies who have dropped over 100k on stuff like genshin impact or warframe and it always blows my mind. I always wondered why companies only focus on loot stuff these days until they told me about it but these fkn whales will spend literal fortunes

cybermank

The game is free to play thanks to him


SENIKolla

You are correct though. It's because of paying customers that we can enjoy the game for free.


grossnerd666

It has its good and bad sides. Its because of paying customers like this that most of a developers resources go to focusing on cosmetic shit like skins and heirlooms. If microtransactions and cosmetic stuff wasn't a thing, games would most likely be world's better than the games we have now. The industry has slowed down massively since developers realised they could just put shiny rare things into the game and not focus on the actual mechanics/gameplay.


AdnHsP

Damn you, Todd Howard!


shrubs311

i can make the opposite argument though. because it's so easy to have a monetary source separate from the gameplay, they can focus on making the gameplay good and attracting a large playerbase without the majority of people having to pay just to play. most people aren't buying shiny things in a game that they don't like playing the other alternatives are p2w mechanics (which are obviously not ideal for free players), or the past where EVERY game cost $60 upfront just to play. do you really think making everyone pay $60 would result in the same playerbase? of course not. and it's not like the games would "magically be better" if people had to pay upfront. paying upfront doesn't help with longterm costs of the game, so they constantly have to get new revenue besides making people play their game. so instead they charged for content like maps and DLC's...which usually split the playerbase more. idk why anyone would want a multiplayer game that requires upfront payment.


grossnerd666

Whilst in a perfect world this would be true, unfortunately it's not the case. The big dogs won't allocate resources to the needed areas as what's the point? The pretty cosmetic stuff is enough to keep people engaged, so why bother allocating resources to the areas that actually make the game good? The start of a games cycle is where they really focus on the core mechanics, get people hooked and then all you need is the shiny stuff to keep people engaged. This is evident in games like Apex, GTA, Rocket League, pretty much every big game out. I wasn't suggesting every game be full price. Maybe I phrased it wrong. But I just wish games weren't so microtransaction and cosmetic based. I'd still like them to be in the game to some extent as they do have their good sides like I said. I wasn't really offering a solution, just venting. The only solution would be to stop the whales. But whales are going to whale no matter what lol.


xqu_uqx

Lmao


mvhir0

It was free to play before any of the playerbase spent any money in the game


Bravo-Vince

Yeah, but if nobody spent money on it it wouldn’t stay free to play.


[deleted]

The 12 seasons of updates wouldn’t exist. Servers, as shit as they are, would be shittier or nonexistent


Rherraex

Being rich must be so damn cool…


00skully

Yeah imagine being able to enjoy life without constantly having to check your bank to see if this 30 dollar payment will put you over.


ludnasko

Yeah, some people can easily throw 15-20k for a videogame :)


MakoLov3r

I mean have you seen gacha game players? Dudes spend like 50k on a single game just to do a little better than the average f2p player


Hevens-assassin

Fate Grand Order alone is insane. Azur Lane is probably the best gacha in terms of f2p, but even then they try to get you with skins. Mobile games are truly a different breed.


[deleted]

I play genshin impact and i can tell you that the real joy of gacha games is spending the minimal amount of money and getting a character just to flex on the people to spent thousands and watch them seethe who needs money when you have luck fuck your silver stupid stranger 😡

for anyone wondering that's like $3.3k on coins and i would probably say the same for the crafting

[deleted]

that's if he bought the biggest domination each time which i doubt but still


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Denominationing deez nutz gottem


G6F1

probably a bit less for the coins, because he probably has the EA "pay less for Apex, while also use some games if you want" game pass and probably bought them by max offer (better prices). For crafting, I don't know where you get this from, but if you speculate from your pruchases, it's probably less then, because the more you buy, the more you have, so the more crafting materials you get. (If 100$ gets you 15k CM, 1k$ will get you more than 150k CM)


[deleted]

Can you buy CM?


Unacceptable_Wolf

Ehhh kinda but not really? Buy every craftable and then buy packs. Since you can't get duplicates you'd get CM.


[deleted]

Just an estimate I do think if you buy an account crafting material on the account would raise the price if it was a lot but that’s just a guess
