So yeah, EA is going full apeshit on Apex Legends monetization, doubling the number of battle passes and removing the ability to buy them ingame. Great. 😑 Good thing I left that game what feels like forever ago.

I just want arenas back...

Not that I've ever spent, or ever will spend, on Apex.

I mean you don't have to buy them and it doesn't make you lose out on anything in the game. I stopped bothering with it awhile back and I found the game much more enjoyable not having to bother with all these quests.

I only ever get it if I happen to play so much that it pays for itself already,this change just seems like it's gonna make that happen even less.

Overwatch BP looking mighty fine in comparison

Such negative posts about this.

If you don't want it, don't buy it. It's not pay to play. You can play the game just fine without spending a dime.

Oh and by the way, the reason you can play without spending a dime is because they monetize on people who are willing to spend money on it.

Again, if you want to spend money you can. If you don't want to spend money, don't.

Sure, but independent of whether we are spending money or not, we can critique their changes, no?

"We have doubled the amount of Apex Coins" which people used to buy battle pass. Now you can't. 🤦‍♂️
