Realistically games like Apex work on a 6 month dev cycle, meaning anything you see now was being worked on 6 months ago, and any BIG changes take 6 months to reach the public. That means realistically the Apex community should be prepared for at least 2 seasons of nonsense before this is reverted.

I was one of the launch day players, and ended up playing pretty actively for around ten seasons. Then things started getting significantly worse, from unnecessary changes to previous Battlepass skins (Heatskin), to ridiculously priced events, and a consistent lack of any major balance changes

[@piepie3167]

This works for anything too guys. If we all worked together and didnt buy skins or heirlooms or anything apex would be forced to change or die. People often forget that getting ripped off isnt just how it is, but the people hold the power with their dollar

[@NithilKS]

Hey @Grrt, I really wonder how the first BP in S22 being claimable via challenges will affect this whole situation! Respawn has mentioned that just the first one can be claimed without spending money within 2 weeks by completing challenges, meaning many people could claim it. What I feel is this might be used to quiet down the playerbase. Its hard for playerbase to keep their voices high for suck long periods (like 6-10 weeks), and by that point I fear a large portion of backlash would become silent. EA might just ride the wave and wait till no one is complaining anymore.

[@KestrelsGlade]

The issue in regards to not buying the pass, is that they made split 1 ones pass free as long as you log in the 1st two weeks. So the only way we make this work is if everyone doenst play at all during split one so they cant use playtime metrics to say the change was a success before split 2.

[@qpthree9603]

Garret you have alot of influence and im sure they rely on channels like yours to spread when "new" skins drop. i promise you and bobz are the only people i look to for updates on this tragically handled game. thank you for blessing us with updates daily on apex over the years!

[@sworceress]

thats great and all but here’s the thing: respawn predicted we’d try and boycott the battle pass and already have countermeasures. no one’s talking about the part on their website that says “All players will be able to earn the first split’s Premium Battle Pass at season launch by logging in and completing a set of challenges within the first two weeks. This first one is on us.” we can’t boycott the first battle pass if it’s free, and respawn’s probably hoping that by the time the second split and second battle pass come around, we’ll all have forgotten about being angry at the changes.

[@YouBeenCaged]

[@hellscr3amz]

One thing about Apex is that it doesn’t have great skins for people to spend so they would much rather save it for the next pass which causes a cycle of not spending money. If they would produce nice skins people will spend money and they won’t have to monetize the battle pass. They are for sure going into the wrong direction here.

I quit when they removed their own uniqueness as a gamemode, Apex Arenas using legend abilities bought in a team v team situation was satisfying, and honestly one of the best SBMM displays I had ever seen, the matches had their flaws occasionally but it was balanced. They got rid of that and kept the Battle Royale...like there isn't already 2 dozen BRs. They brought back deathmatch/gun game/domination....except ALL of these modes are watered down and kinda terrible. No loadouts, everything being prefabricated, no uniqueness, off brand TitanFall//Battlefield Gameplay.... I hope they realize what pays and what plays, because this game is on the path to die either way.

Played since week 1 of Season 0. Purchased the season 2 battle pass and have used the coins from that to fund every single other battle pass since then. If I can't use coins I won't buy the pass, simple. I have spent money on the game - at the anniversary events I will usually buy a set of apex packs or something as thanks for all the free gaming, maybe $40 over the course of the games life. Boycotts of digital products almost never actually work because of the scale of engagement needed to have an impact. Boycotts work best with high value (and high margin) products with small sales numbers - small mobilization requirement with high per person impact.
