Player Outcry Over Apex Legends' Expensive Final Fantasy VII Crossover: Here's How Much You'd Spend In Microtransactions
The recent "Apex Legends" and "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" crossover event launched with controversy due to its high-priced microtransactions.
最近的 “Apex Legends” 和 “最終幻想VII重生” 跨界活動因其高昂的微交易而引發爭議。
Electronic Arts Inc's (NASDAQ:EA) Respawn partnered with Square Enix Holdings Co Ltd (OTC:SQNXF), introducing a new category of cosmetics, but the event stirred dissatisfaction among players, IGN reported.
IGN報道，電子藝術公司（納斯達克股票代碼：EA）的Respawn與史克威爾艾尼克斯控股有限公司（場外交易代碼：SQNXF）合作，推出了一種新的化妝品類別，但該活動激起了參與者的不滿。

Unlike previous events, this collaboration marked a significant increase in prices. Event packs that once cost $7 now amount to $10 each, making it the most expensive event in "Apex Legends" history. Milestone Rewards, including a Death Box skin, could accumulate to a staggering $290.
與之前的活動不同，這次合作標誌着價格的大幅上漲。曾經售價7美元的活動包現在每包達到10美元，使其成爲 “Apex Legends” 歷史上最昂貴的活動。里程碑獎勵，包括死亡之箱皮膚，可能會累積到驚人的290美元。
Moreover, the pricing structure isn't transparent, creating confusion among players. Packs initially priced at 100 Apex Coins escalated in cost after a few purchases, reaching up to 1,000 Apex Coins per pack.
此外，定價結構不透明，在參與者之間造成混亂。最初定價爲100枚Apex幣的包在購買了幾次之後成本上漲，達到每包最高1,000枚Apex幣。
To obtain all 36 items, players might have to spend $290, which involves purchasing various bundles with fluctuating prices and complex calculations.
要獲得全部36件物品，玩家可能需要花費290美元，其中包括購買價格波動和複雜計算的各種捆綁包。
Despite a few free event packs offered, the chances of obtaining coveted items without spending money are minimal, especially for the Buster Sword with less than a 1% probability. Players criticized the lack of free rewards and limited opportunities for earning items through gameplay.
儘管提供了一些免費活動包，但不花錢就能獲得夢寐以求的物品的機會微乎其微，尤其是對於概率不到1％的Buster Sword而言。玩家批評缺乏免費獎勵，通過遊戲獲得物品的機會有限。
Notably, unlike previous events allowing specific Legend Skin purchases, this crossover limited players to character skins priced at $21.50 each, without additional packs.
值得注意的是，與之前允許購買特定傳奇皮膚的活動不同，此次跨界限定玩家只能購買每件售價爲21.50美元的角色皮膚，不包括額外的禮包。
