@@j-flashm297 brother you don’t even if ppl aren’t playing because they’re tired of Apex or maybe because they’re playing other new games that released. And I can tell you with confidence people aren’t gonna bandwagon to quit just because they see a low player count. That’s literally smooth brain thinking of you. Player count goes up and down for years. It’s gonna go back up soon as new season starts or they drop new content.
3:20 exactly this. You already know they had many huge meetings at Respawn that basically went like “okay guys, we’re at our lowest player count yet, we HAVE to jack up the price on stuff, people are leaving anyways, kids who buy skins with their moms credit cards won’t know the difference, let’s do it!” 💀
Players are leaving, so revenue is going down. They are either just too oblivious, or more likely, are aware that the game is dying, but are still trying to milk the remaining players.
They’ve literally been doing this for years lol people are upset now but I guarantee in a week or two all the outrage is going to disappear when apex announces the next event (it’s going to be a recycled gamemode with a brand new limited skins)
When buying the Battlepass before it specifically said that u could receive the coins back so u could buy the next pass for free(if u completed the battlepass). I think they can get legally attacked on this. They cant change this halfway now.
Disney Speedstorm did a similar thing, but nothing is going to happen legally-speaking. Something Speedstorm did that Apex might want to adopt, just in case, is a period of time where you could convert your credits into season pass tokens. So if you have 10,000 Apex Coins built up, make it so you can buy ... 10? battle pass tokens. And then they can say "SEE? You CAN use the coins you saved up for the battle pass!" and then change the wording behind the scenes. Apex Legends is much bigger than Speedstorm, so maybe something litigious really may happen in this case. It's also an American company as opposed to being based in Europe. And that makes things more likely to be illegal here.
I just bought my first ever pass for this current season and was so excited when I realized I would be able to keep getting a new battle pass with the coins I received! Yeah. Now I’m just never going to play again. Feels dank.
I live in Canada its $13 for 1000 apex coins, and $9.99 USD is 13 something CAD so I basically have to buy apex coins every single time I want the battle pass. In 10 seasons if I buy both battle pass I'm spending 260 dollars rather then 13 dollars one time that I can re-use over and over again. This is bull. I'm seriously about to start an Apex boycott, if you buy this you are part of the problem. Fuck EA.

It's not "causing controversy". The controversial part is EA's decision. I'm equally glad he speaks up and more creators should, this just isn't creating controversy by the creator, it's standing up against disgusting corporate greed.

Respawn or EA (maybe both) just dont care. The game has so much potential to be great, i just can't beleive it.
Yeah... About 2 year ago.. i was soo excited to get my own pc just to play Apex Legends but then right now.. I'm not even playing anymore.. and now.. I'm just playing some gacha games
I’m calling it right now. Every free to play will turn to this. But the ultimate thing is. What will the purpose of the coins be other than packs? Is the content “worth” it? Will heirlooms be cheaper to get? Will skins/events/heirlooms/etc. be cheaper to offset the cost for real money? I feel like these are the questions that need to be asked.
all legends unlocked with premium plus is not a selling point. any player who plays daily, will have soo many legend tokens they can buy any upcoming legend, for example I have unlocked all the legends and still have 100k legend tokens.
Okay, and with that in mind i know you have the brainpower to deduce the situation a little more. To save time I'll just tell you though, it's obviously geared towards newer players.
@@shalindelta7 geared towards new players 5 years after the game released lol, and people who have spent a lot of time in the game are giving up. They don't care about diehard players at all
@uhskn9753 it makes more sense than the alternative. They're tryna make it appealing for new players to jump in, it's almost like that timesaver shite you find in Ubisoft games. They never cared about diehards thus far, only whales. There's a difference.
Haven't played Apex in months. Tekken, Elden Ring DLC and FF7 Rebirth are taking up all my gaming hours cos they're actually fun. Does EA think charging double's really gonna bring people like me back? 😂
Ain’t no way I’m gonna spend 40 dollars per season bruh!!! Absolutely insane bruhhhhh😂😂😂 I feel like at this point EA has given up on the game and is just trying to milk some last dollars before the move on from apex. Super sad😭😭😭 Also having to pay 40 bucks to rent a legend is wildddd😭😭😭
Mande please continue to encourage other streamers to discourage their audience from buying this or any other apex items until EA does something beneficial for its users. They only thing they care about is money so we have to hit them where it hurts and you’re in a position to make a difference.
I only paid for my first Battle Pass. The rest I bought with in-game currency made from that same battle pass. I will continue playing the game because I enjoy it, but I won't be paying for a battle pass again and definitely not every half season. It's not mandatory to have it anyway so in that sense it's not a big deal to me.
Bought every battle pass from season 1 until this current season i decided not to buy because of the cheater problem. Looks like im not buying next season either.
If you do the challenges you can finish it quick, but this season, they extended some of the challenges and made them more grindy. Like it used to be 5K damage on x legends, but this season its 10K damage lol. Play Lifeline 2 games for dailies turned into 4 games.
If we really want to put the emphasis on how fed up we are; we ALL put our skins back to default - characters, weapons, no charms. Revert back to the old days of APEX.
People are already playing less because of the rampant cheater problem, and they do this. They are just salting the wound. There is a 0% chance that I buy this pass. Aside from 2 skins all the BP stuff has been lame. It was lame, but at least it was self sustaining after you bought it once.
I can remember a video i´ve seen where a dev said they´re making Apex for the ages. He claimed that they want to support the game for 20+ years or something, so you could play with your son one day and all this talk... Yeah, nah, i think neither of these things are going to happend.
Y’all tripping, you get double crafting material from the BP to CHOOSE any legendary skin you want, not only that but it’s only 60 levels which is almost half of the old ones, so it’ll be easier to grind out. AND you get more apex packs, meaning higher chances of an heirloom. People just wanna have a negative perspective 24/7. PLUS PLAYABLE LEGENDS? That’s big for new players or people who don’t have every legend unlocked
😂no that’s not it you gotta pay 9 dollars a battle pass and that’s 1 per spilt plus if you don’t finish you don’t keep it you move on to the next battle pass. Just greedy ea that’s the problem why trying to justify it ??
Laughing at our face by fulfilling the battle pass with useless items such as charms, holograms, guns and skins recolors it's kinda acceptable when you are able to get the battle pass with the coins you got from the previews battle pass, but this sht? Hell No!! the match making sucks, most skins sucks, game bugs, limited weapon choices, few side games, few maps, No good colaborations with other franchise and still they want to charge you $20 dls a season? this must be a joke! Game transactions are getting out of control and we need to send them a message!
I’m a casual player and this was the FIRST BP I bought thinking it was going to be somewhat decent but I regret my decision EA really has it out for the noobs 😤
Just wait until your battlepass level is linked to what content/modes you can play in the game. New Mixtape mode/LTM! Only for Battlepass premium players.
idk why people keep spending money on apex - i mean dont get me wrong i love the game but... after algs issues and them introducing new currencies... they surely wont change anything to the better with even more money.
i like how people lke mande are boycotting it not because they cant afford it but its because of others who cant afford buying games stuff with real world money since they got other better thing to spend actual money on
Sad all these companys are like this . Sad I've been playing since day 1 when it came out and I've not got single heirloom I've bought few battle passes and some apex packs still haven't gotten. One I've prestige 2 times now so 1000 levels and not single heirloom when they said ur suppose to get one every 500 levels what they are which was false. It's gone to trash
people will buy it anyway. about 10% freeloaders leaving for them is just less money spent on server issues. The same thing happened to many games and they only made more money right after.
ea gettin rich off lil kids allowances cuz most grown folks/smart people feel exactly like mande while the lil kids spending mommies money cant wait to buy this.
😂 hey there not wrong they always gotta read between the line like how they said “they listen to use about the $150 pk skin never doing it again “ … leakers found out they are classic EA …
If it wasn't for the free seasonal Battle Pass I wouldn't play every day like I do now. And I don't REALLY want to do that anymore due to the state of the game. But now they want me to pay I'm out. No need to play every day to upgrade a Battle Pass I won't own. I used to do my son's account too, that account will just die now. I can't afford to pay for two BP's every split.
Blame people like RaynDay and Noko, For constantly gaslighting the community. Now they change their positions on it, when they could have helped bring this game back to life since season 11
They could make 2 battle passes per season and add more rewards to the premium pass. People would buy it, but doing so is terrible. 1 season without a pass for us. Season 1 without money for EA. We'll get the old pass back.
Thank you Mande, I wish more streamers would take a stance like this and fight back against corporate greed, people in general should vote with their wallets, if their favorite streamers are buying it anyway then they tend to follow suit and then EA/Respawn continue their path of greed and eventually run this game into the ground.
I suggest you guys not listen to him. Even if he doesn’t buy it someone from his chat or w/e likely will. then you on the other hand, who’s all about the cosmetics won’t buy them anymore because of some big streamers complaints. majority of the player base will waste the coins from the battle pass immediately, which tbh is a + from them anyways. there really doesn’t need to be any coins from the battle pass, when you can just buy them separately.
I got this recommended randomly. I didn't watch Mande clips or from this channel , but... I did QUIT Apex just over a week ago. I couldn't play the game.. cheaters everywhere on ranked and after 3 whole seasons they decided to do nothing, I simply quit as I think the game is dead, this is gonna go down the same route H1Z1 gone. Too many cheaters and people are gonna quit playing the game. Wait untill you find cheaters in normals like you find them in ranked. That's gonna be the downfall..
Please everyone needs to skip this battle pass, it doesn't matter if you buy heirloom stuff or anything but just make a point by not buying this battle pass
Glad i have unistaled this garbage game... If you are not getting melted by software abusers rollers, you get deleted by cheaters... 22 seasons into the game and the game is worse than most games launched 25 years ago... Criminal
@@koaoi9172 That is something you will never understand about quality of games that were launched 1990-2000 and how passionate were the devs... New games are just pure monetized shit with 0 quality... lets be honest. AOE I is still played, Quake is still played etc
I’ll buy the battlepass for three reasons a Pathy skin, bang skin, and trackers I’m missing for 4 legends, if it don’t have one of those three I’m not buying
The only motivation for playing casually through a season was to get the battle pass stuff. Now that it's gone, the only reason to play is for fun. No-life grinding is the only way to reach high ranks, so playing the game in a normal pace doesn't have any rewards anymore.
On principal, if you buy this, you are the problem.

Ain’t no way I’m gonna spend 40 dollars per season bruh!!! Absolutely insane bruhhhhh😂😂😂 I feel like at this point EA has given up on the game and is just trying to milk some last dollars before the move on from apex. Super sad😭😭😭 Also having to pay 40 bucks to rent a legend is wildddd😭😭😭
There’s not even enough scroll wheel space to put all the emotes and quotes you want. It’s just a big mess to me.
Mande please continue to encourage other streamers to discourage their audience from buying this or any other apex items until EA does something beneficial for its users. They only thing they care about is money so we have to hit them where it hurts and you’re in a position to make a difference.
with all the cheaters, audio issues, game bugs, and server issues, apex is in no place to make these types of changes
Do you people not own wallets?
I only paid for my first Battle Pass. The rest I bought with in-game currency made from that same battle pass. I will continue playing the game because I enjoy it, but I won't be paying for a battle pass again and definitely not every half season. It's not mandatory to have it anyway so in that sense it's not a big deal to me.
Bought every battle pass from season 1 until this current season i decided not to buy because of the cheater problem.
Looks like im not buying next season either.
If you do the challenges you can finish it quick, but this season, they extended some of the challenges and made them more grindy. Like it used to be 5K damage on x legends, but this season its 10K damage lol. Play Lifeline 2 games for dailies turned into 4 games.
If they had done reworks on server lags and cheater problem, ok. But not doing anything and upping the price is so EA
This reminds me of nba 2k24. They made it $30 to be able to reach max battle pass per season
3:40 EA got their hog rider in chat doin overtime
Mande is one of the purest human beings on that planet!
If we really want to put the emphasis on how fed up we are; we ALL put our skins back to default - characters, weapons, no charms. Revert back to the old days of APEX.
My villain arc started when I lost a 7+ heirloom account at the beginning of Season 19. I’m ready to watch this game burn.
Mande is the only Apex content creator that thinks in the playerbase, all other freaking apex TH-camrs were like “if you don’t like it, don’t buy itl
Depending on your payment options, it will also add tax
Sales tax has to do with where you live
@mande @20:00 it's almost like lawyers wrote it up lol 🤣🤣🤣
"Clearly they wouldn't remove it from your account..." - I don't think we can put stuff past them at this point.
People are already playing less because of the rampant cheater problem, and they do this. They are just salting the wound. There is a 0% chance that I buy this pass. Aside from 2 skins all the BP stuff has been lame. It was lame, but at least it was self sustaining after you bought it once.
big W to mande for condeming EA's practices as harshly as he did
I can remember a video i´ve seen where a dev said they´re making Apex for the ages. He claimed that they want to support the game for 20+ years or something, so you could play with your son one day and all this talk...
Yeah, nah, i think neither of these things are going to happend.
Y’all tripping, you get double crafting material from the BP to CHOOSE any legendary skin you want, not only that but it’s only 60 levels which is almost half of the old ones, so it’ll be easier to grind out. AND you get more apex packs, meaning higher chances of an heirloom. People just wanna have a negative perspective 24/7. PLUS PLAYABLE LEGENDS? That’s big for new players or people who don’t have every legend unlocked
bruh its 60 lvls for half a season so its more than before.
also u cant buy it with coins
I love how everyone talk shit and 6 months later they have bought it, because the one cool skin.
Bro we really need to boycott this shit , this game that I loved is going to down the drain and there’s nothing we do unless we ban together
i honestly dont think there would be controversy if they still allowed you to pay with coins but then this wouldnt happen
😂no that’s not it you gotta pay 9 dollars a battle pass and that’s 1 per spilt plus if you don’t finish you don’t keep it you move on to the next battle pass. Just greedy ea that’s the problem why trying to justify it ??
Remember when EA said they plan to run Apex for at least 20 years? Well I dont think so
wasnt 10 years?
@@DaRockCandy Im pretty sure they said they want to be successful like csgo and hopefully keep Apex for abt 20 years but could be wrong tho
Laughing at our face by fulfilling the battle pass with useless items such as charms, holograms, guns and skins recolors it's kinda acceptable when you are able to get the battle pass with the coins you got from the previews battle pass, but this sht? Hell No!! the match making sucks, most skins sucks, game bugs, limited weapon choices, few side games, few maps, No good colaborations with other franchise and still they want to charge you $20 dls a season? this must be a joke! Game transactions are getting out of control and we need to send them a message!
i never gave a shit about video game skins so this makes no difference to me.
40 bucks per 3 months. lmao. that's basically as expensive as a subscription service for something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do people not realize that you don’t spend 20 bucks immediately and you can wait for the splits to near the end
If I was them, I would make prev pass to give 80% the cost of a next BP.
14:46 absolutely took me out😂😂😂
IF YOU BUY THE PASS YOU ARE THE PROBLEM
If no one buys this then they will go back to apex coins… but some people are stupid so…
Bro i play for a couple of hours a few nights a week theres no way im gona max the battle pass aha
Bois you can’t even buy the normal one. There is no option to buy with Apex coins that means for every season you have to burn $9.99.
I’m a casual player and this was the FIRST BP I bought thinking it was going to be somewhat decent but I regret my decision EA really has it out for the noobs 😤
I don't think the changes would be so bad if they didn't make a bp only a half season imo.
Just wait until your battlepass level is linked to what content/modes you can play in the game. New Mixtape mode/LTM! Only for Battlepass premium players.
idk why people keep spending money on apex - i mean dont get me wrong i love the game but... after algs issues and them introducing new currencies... they surely wont change anything to the better with even more money.
i like how people lke mande are boycotting it not because they cant afford it but its because of others who cant afford buying games stuff with real world money since they got other better thing to spend actual money on
funnily this will make me play apex less because i wont be buying this. ive been meaning to play some other games
Sad all these companys are like this . Sad I've been playing since day 1 when it came out and I've not got single heirloom I've bought few battle passes and some apex packs still haven't gotten. One I've prestige 2 times now so 1000 levels and not single heirloom when they said ur suppose to get one every 500 levels what they are which was false. It's gone to trash
people will buy it anyway. about 10% freeloaders leaving for them is just less money spent on server issues. The same thing happened to many games and they only made more money right after.
Mande is based.
ea gettin rich off lil kids allowances cuz most grown folks/smart people feel exactly like mande while the lil kids spending mommies money cant wait to buy this.
😂 hey there not wrong they always gotta read between the line like how they said “they listen to use about the $150 pk skin never doing it again “ … leakers found out they are classic EA …
If it wasn't for the free seasonal Battle Pass I wouldn't play every day like I do now. And I don't REALLY want to do that anymore due to the state of the game. But now they want me to pay I'm out. No need to play every day to upgrade a Battle Pass I won't own.
I used to do my son's account too, that account will just die now. I can't afford to pay for two BP's every split.
Blame people like RaynDay and Noko,
For constantly gaslighting the community.
Now they change their positions on it, when they could have helped bring this game back to life since season 11
Boycott season 22 Battle pass
Even with all the trailers they release and them getting ratio they still do this
If youve ever spent money on a battlepass you cant complain. You literally brought this upon yourselves
They could make 2 battle passes per season and add more rewards to the premium pass. People would buy it, but doing so is terrible. 1 season without a pass for us. Season 1 without money for EA. We'll get the old pass back.
Thank you Mande, I wish more streamers would take a stance like this and fight back against corporate greed, people in general should vote with their wallets, if their favorite streamers are buying it anyway then they tend to follow suit and then EA/Respawn continue their path of greed and eventually run this game into the ground.
I think we should just all go on strike and not buy this battle pass so they keep it the same (apex coins
Wise)
I suggest you guys not listen to him. Even if he doesn’t buy it someone from his chat or w/e likely will. then you on the other hand, who’s all about the cosmetics won’t buy them anymore because of some big streamers complaints. majority of the player base will waste the coins from the battle pass immediately, which tbh is a + from them anyways. there really doesn’t need to be any coins from the battle pass, when you can just buy them separately.
I got this recommended randomly. I didn't watch Mande clips or from this channel , but... I did QUIT Apex just over a week ago. I couldn't play the game.. cheaters everywhere on ranked and after 3 whole seasons they decided to do nothing, I simply quit as I think the game is dead, this is gonna go down the same route H1Z1 gone. Too many cheaters and people are gonna quit playing the game. Wait untill you find cheaters in normals like you find them in ranked. That's gonna be the downfall..
Exotic shards(X)
Convincing players to quit this gamestyle shards(O)
Please everyone needs to skip this battle pass, it doesn't matter if you buy heirloom stuff or anything but just make a point by not buying this battle pass
Glad i have unistaled this garbage game... If you are not getting melted by software abusers rollers, you get deleted by cheaters... 22 seasons into the game and the game is worse than most games launched 25 years ago... Criminal
25 years ago lmao
@@koaoi9172 That is something you will never understand about quality of games that were launched 1990-2000 and how passionate were the devs... New games are just pure monetized shit with 0 quality... lets be honest. AOE I is still played, Quake is still played etc
@@vlads.3192 dont tell me what i dont understand. i thought you were saying apex launched 25 years ago
@@koaoi9172 🤡🤡🤡
I’ll buy the battlepass for three reasons a Pathy skin, bang skin, and trackers I’m missing for 4 legends, if it don’t have one of those three I’m not buying
We are literally witnessing the death an a legendary game ran by a shitty company.
The only motivation for playing casually through a season was to get the battle pass stuff. Now that it's gone, the only reason to play is for fun. No-life grinding is the only way to reach high ranks, so playing the game in a normal pace doesn't have any rewards anymore.
Even if you don't buy it, they'll keep on killing the game unless you stop playing. All Live service games care about is Player count
