Hey breeders if you bring your fucking toddler over to a clearly not childproofed house put that lil nibba on a leash or don't complain about him getting in the dog food and shit

Installing a cat door in my utility room/laundry because I don't want my son crawling into the litter box grabbing sandy chocolates.

RIP Lootcrate filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy, trying to find an investor for a $10 million loan to finish up their commitments (ie people with annual subscriptions who’ve been getting dick) and then gonna restructure.

The poor people who bought the Fallout crate and have been getting one piece of Liberty Prime at a time may never get it finished, big oomph

Not as garbage as the items they ship to fill your house with tasteless trash.

Basically they did a mini event during season 2 where they had loot crates with 1 of 24 epic/legendary skins. You could earn enough crowns to buy 2 out of 24 and you had the option to shill for crates for 700 apex coins a piece. There was no way to guarantee the skin you wanted and on top of that if you got all 24 you had the opportunity to buy a heirloom (Rarer than legendary) axe for Bloodhound.

Turns out to buy all of it would run you $170 (incl the 2 free chests) which got people mad. So they reworked it so people could just buy the exact skin they wanted for 1800 coins (Which is on par for other shooters like fortnite) on certain days and specified what day during the event each skin would be available.

This didn't solve the base problem (Its an event shilling loot boxes you could only earn two of them) so the playerbase raged more and a respawn dev shit on someone so now all hell broke loose.

In all fairness the devs shouldn't be receiving any flack for this (They're not the ones who set the pricing/monetization scheme for any of this) so seeing people shit on devs for this is extremely annoying.

On the other hand EA should get all the fucking hell for this considering they're the ones who came up such brillant quips as "A sense of pride and accomplishment" and "Surprise mechanics!" so fuck 'em with a rusty spork.

The thread, which announced changes to the way players obtain Legendary skins during the event, attracted comments from individual Respawn developers, including executive producer Drew McCoy. In the course of the discussion, McCoy called players "ass-hats" and "dicks", and lamented toxicity in the community.

"I've been in the industry long enough to remember when players weren't complete ass-hats to developers and it was pretty neat. I forged a bunch of long lasting relationships from back then," he said in one comment. "Would be awesome to get back there, and not engaging with toxic people or asking 'how high' when a mob screams 'jump' is hopefully a start."

In reply to user who called the devs "money-grabbing fucks", McCoy said: "Hey everyone—found the dick I was talking about." Later in the discussion, he said: "I think technically I was calling gamers dicks? I dunno. I had a spicy lunch, feelin' it."

McCoy also joked that most players are "freeloaders": "The amount of people who spend is crazy low, most of ya'll are freeloaders (and we love that!) and a change in price doesn't move the needle."

Community manager Jay Frechette came to McCoy's defense when fans jumped on the comments, pointing out that players had slung personal insults at the team. "So it's fine for you all to call us liars, full of shit, and other personal attacks when we communicate an apology and update to the event but we're 'immature' when we call people out on it. Got it," he said.

The immediate response from the subreddit was anger and outrage. This morning, the most upvoted post on the subreddit claimed Respawn had "alienated [the] playerbase".

props to him for saying that
