In Call of Duty how their Battle Pass system works is if you buy it with real money ONCE and if you manage to 100% it then you will have enough points to get the next Battle Pass for “free” + they gives you 400 extra freebies points.
This is kinda a smart way for these companies to keep their playerbase active and playing their games + potentially make a ton of money.
I think Fortnite does it this way too? I have never play that game or Apex.
Fun facts: The OG devs of the original Call of Duty are also the makers of Apex and Titanfall. They were some of the founders of Infinity Ward Studio in Activision.

This is what Supercell does basically got Clash Royale/of Clans

Basically doubling price of an already egregious practice

Until respawn removes controller option from PC and separates controller lobbies (console) and MnK lobbies (PC), I won’t be playing the game ever again.
Not putting up with that garbage any further.

I haven’t been able to play the game for 2 years now due to a glitch that removed all my bought items and legends and doesn’t let me buy new ones so that game has been dead to me for a long time.

‘Changing how Battle Pass Works’ is a very neutral way of saying ‘doubling price’.
Instead of a pass working for a full season, they’re making the battle pass work for only 1 part of each season.

Considering the number of aimhackers and afk-farmers in the games, guess they figure they’ve gotta charge their actual customers more to make up for it.

Aren’t they the fans that buy skins for around $500? of course they are gonna have their prices increased lol this is on them

Good thing I don’t play Apex

Played Apex consistently for years. Quit about 3 months ago.
Sounds like I quit at the right time ✌️

$20? Why does a FOMO grind mechanic cost more than a monthly mmo sub? Just get rid of the battlepass and sell the cosmetics directly with no shitty limited time bs.

They’ll complain and buy it anyways.

The items in the BP were never worth it to begin with and now this just seals the deal to never buy future BPs.

My 2 favorite online games (Apex and Rainbow Six Siege) ruining themselves within 2 months of each other by being greedy, and not fixing real issues is honestly madness.

I find it amusing that no one owns any of these pay to win or freemium battle loot box games. It’s probably why I don’t get into them. I like owning my games and not just logging onto a service that can and will be taken away from us.

Not happy I’m sure but watch people angrily dig into their wallets so it doesn’t matter if they get angry.

I just saw this news, it’s really very sad, same content at double the price, who can be happy with that?

Holy greed

I liked this game a lot. The first few seasons it was the best Shooter out there IMO. Great Gunplay, Insane Movement. Pretty fun and really brought fresh wind into the Battle Royal Gerne.
Now it seems like a cash grab on every level while the core gameplay gets ruined by cheaters and weird balancing decisions (Controller vs MK discussion)
I am not playing anymore but people need to learn that you have to vote with your wallet. Stop buying this shit. This is the only way they will learn.

And yet they’ll pay anyway.

Battlepass for Apex has been poopy these past couple seasons. I blew all my apex coins on that FF7 collab months ago anyway

Double it, triple it, make it a thousand dollars a day I don’t care. The amount I spend on this nonsense stays the same no matter what you charge.

If youre a “fan” of apex; statistically, you already have enough problems.
philosopherrrrr
People still play this game?

Apex already had a pretty bad battle pass compared to other games, do companies just not know competition actually exists?

Battle Passes were a mistake
