Apex Legends New Update Today & Store Rotation As Battlepass Boycott Begins

Apex Legends Season 22's battle pass has the player base riled up. The biggest change is that you can't use earnable Apex Coins to buy the pass anymore, forcing players to spend real money. The season is also split in two, with a separate, shorter battle pass for each half. This means more rewards overall, but you need to buy a pass twice to get everything. This new system has players feeling frustrated for a couple reasons. Free players who used to save their coins for future passes no longer have that option. The total cost might also be higher since you can't recoup some coins through the pass like before. On top of that, having to buy a pass twice per season feels like a money grab to some fans. Respawn says the changes are meant to better align with Ranked mode and offer more value for your playtime, but the community isn't buying it. There have even been reports of negative reviews and some players threatening to leave the game altogether. The controversy is still brewing, and it'll be interesting to see if Respawn listens to the player feedback and tweaks the system.

Every single free to play aspect of Apex was ruined in last 2 years by EA. Free legendary weapons in free event trackers, old legend 20$ and $5 bundles, Belgium glitch on Origin (which wasn't issue until EA realized that they can milk more money from players). These are just few examples. And now this BP change... I hate this, fuck EA

As a Newcastle main I'm so excited about the upcoming milestone event skin! I hate the concept of the milestone and collection events. I only ever want to get the skins I want and hate the idea of having to acquire things I don't want to get other things that I do. With that said, I adore the cosmic theme of the pass and pretty much like every skin.

[@jjmeer]

Gamers please listen. There has never been a more important time than now to protest. They are now charging for a battlepass. Stop supporting and allowing companies to gouge you in every form they can for you to be able to play a game. Apex started as a Free to play game and has overtime become a giant money pit and they keep taking things from you until there will be nothing left. Make a stand and protest this insane decision to force gamers to now pay for a battlepass that was free before. It will only get worse from here.

[@jencycarranza4957]

Dude chill… ive only spent 20$ dollars in 5 years for apex. And it was to unlock 8 characters. Thats bad business! 20 bucks in 5 years?!?! Im more than happy to give them 10$ a month. Maybe they can hire people, with that money, to stop the cheaters. Ever thought how the pass may benefit the game?

Do u even spend money on this game? How are the developers supposed to feed their children? You think they wanna give u everything free cuz u deserve pixels and they deserve to starve?
