Fans av Apex Legends raser etter endringer i spillets kamp-passasje

17/07/2024

Fans of Apex Legends are rebelling against the battle royale game and its developer Respawn due to planned changes to the game’s battle pass system, which many are calling extortion.
The changes, introduced in the season 22 update, require players to open their wallets if they want the season pass, as opposed to earning in-game currency and using it for purchases as before.
The new system splits the pass into two halves, each costing $10, or players can pay $20 for the Premium+ version which offers additional cosmetic content.
If a season lasts around three months, players who want everything must pay $160 per year, which equals about 1700 kroner.
Fans have expressed strong dissatisfaction on social media, with over 25,000 negative user reviews on Steam since the announcement last week.
Recent reviews are overwhelmingly negative, with only 17% positive user reviews in the last 30 days, many from players with hundreds of hours in the game who now say they’ve had enough.
Neither EA nor Respawn has responded to the criticism.
