Before, players could use Apex Coins to grab each new pass, earning enough from previous passes to fund their next purchase. The new system for the battle royale game would require real money transactions in addition to doubling how many battle passes would be released per season.

I don’t play this kind of game and don’t understand what the controversy is. What does a “battle pass” buy you? I guess they made it so people can’t obtain it by just playing where before they could? Why is that something to be outraged about?

Typically you pay for a battle pass with some sort of currency that costs real money to acquire. The battle pass isn’t anything on its own, but if you play the game you’ll then unlock experience or whatever with the battle pass, thus unlocking whatever it contains. Often that’s cosmetics for the game, sometimes useable items, and sometimes it’s more of that currency that costs real money.

IMO they suck. Usually they expire at the end of the month, so if something comes up (family emergency, computer died, whatever) you wasted it and paid for nothing. It’s a cheap trick to devalue a player’s purchase, and to try and boost player count in lieu of good gameplay.

But apparently if you completed the battle pass, it would give you enough premium currency to buy the one they out next month. So theoretically you might only have to buy it once if you were diligent in finish the pass before it went away. Now they’ve taken that away because they wanted more money.

Good. We need to stop letting companies announce something aggreious and then pull back to something slightly shitty after “reflecting on community feedback”

It still has 200k people playing it. I do wonder how many of those people actually bought the battle pass and how many didn’t.

Shoulda not done the shitty thing in the first place if you don’t want people leaving bad reviews.

Edit: EA has done so many shitty things at this point I simply feel nothing whenever they advertise a game to me. So many better games out there for me to spend my time and money on.
