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.
8:11 I have completed it and Have 560 games this season with 89 wins 326 top 5s the whole season and I’ve been lvl 110 bp this season for 100 games so exactly
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.
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.
Idk man, I've put literal thousands into Apex. I'm walking away. Between this, bugs and server issues. They just don't care clearly. Season open I'm uninstalling
@@RaZziaN1 You dont know Mande a single bit lmao. Mande never puts a penny in that game, he doesn't care at all. He also has like five thousand apex packs sitting in his account for almost 1 year (thanks to a hacker) and he doesn't even open them because he couldn't care less about cosmetics let alone the battle pass 😂
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.
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.
I don't want to go straight doomer but this really does feel like a bad sign. The gacha and wow comparisons are too strong to ignore they are clearly going all in on whales and it feels like a desperate last move.
Naw the sad thing is if this catches on, Respawn is already looking into monthly battlepass subscriptions, they have been doing surveys asking about it recently.
I got detached from any sense of fomo when my account got perma banned for typing "shut the fuck up" to a guy yelling the n-word into the mic and I lost everything going back to pre season 1. I'm on a permanent alt account now and never buying a battle pass lol
if the majority have been using the coins to perpetually buy the BP for free, then not buying it won’t result in any difference. So you won’t be really making an impact really. But we can try I guess. So him saying he won’t “buy” it again….was he spending money on BP anyway besides the first one he bought with cash?
But now less people will play because they refuse to buy the BP to grind so they will have less incentive to play over the entire season…so that’s the problem. It will wreck the player count

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 would buy a Battle Pass for $20 if it included servers without cheaters, horizon 4-3 linear, packet loss every 2 games, bugs that break the game after each update and normal sounds
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.
I’m in between causal an binge playing apex an I’m barely on LV 81 on the BP for season 21. So to get 60 LV for the free BP let alone the premium BP you have consistently play in order to get your money’s worth
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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😭😭😭
😂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 ??
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? 😂
😂 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 …
@@shalindelta7 I know ppl still will but I won’t be buying it. I’d have no problem with it if they actually invested resources to fix the things that make the game frustrating to play but they’ve shown no interest in doing that for 20 seasons and instead we get this change.. smh
@tattooed_jesus2315 agreed. The amount of times i got kicked from games and wasn't able to join a game even though i was in a party with friends is outrageous.
@@shalindelta7 yep. That, the new “disconnected” error I get every day now, the horrendous audio.. you could pick so many things to work on to make the game more enjoyable and instead they waste time re-working a “free” system to require money from your dwindling player base lol
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
hey uprise the price but i find hackers every game and fucking MMR is unbalanced as fuck i canr rank up in silver becasue triple predators with 120k of deaths just fck this game
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.

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.
Mande is based.
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.
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😭😭😭
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 CZcamsrs were like “if you don’t like it, don’t buy itl
Like Riot's $500 Ahri Skin, i doubt they revert.
I love how everyone talk shit and 6 months later they have bought it, because the one cool skin.
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 ??
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? 😂
14:46 absolutely took me out😂😂😂
😂 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 …
lets do it " no apex august"
I hope literally no one buys it
Your faith in the gaming community is interesting
@@shalindelta7 I know ppl still will but I won’t be buying it. I’d have no problem with it if they actually invested resources to fix the things that make the game frustrating to play but they’ve shown no interest in doing that for 20 seasons and instead we get this change.. smh
@tattooed_jesus2315 agreed. The amount of times i got kicked from games and wasn't able to join a game even though i was in a party with friends is outrageous.
@@shalindelta7 yep. That, the new “disconnected” error I get every day now, the horrendous audio.. you could pick so many things to work on to make the game more enjoyable and instead they waste time re-working a “free” system to require money from your dwindling player base lol
Literally everyone will buy it. This will make ea so much money because gamers are pathetic and willingly get scammed. And its only going to get worse
Even with all the trailers they release and them getting ratio they still do this
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.
funnily this will make me play apex less because i wont be buying this. ive been meaning to play some other games
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.
Good thing I just started playing, and loving VALORANT
Bro i play for a couple of hours a few nights a week theres no way im gona max the battle pass aha
example of post malone event XD 14:00 sponsor meant
If no one buys this then they will go back to apex coins… but some people are stupid so…
We are literally witnessing the death an a legendary game ran by a shitty company.
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!
That’s wild
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 never gave a shit about video game skins so this makes no difference to me.
I don't think the changes would be so bad if they didn't make a bp only a half season imo.
Im thankful i play the game just to improve my skill and increase my rank, i don't even bother to open the store let alonr purchase anything 😂
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.
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.
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
Turns out, it was never intended to be free-to-play.
The game is still free to play buying the battle pass is a choice for cosmetics 😂
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.
The finals is where it is at people, stopped playing apex like 2 years ago
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.
Only reason I kind of like this is because I’ve been done the battle pass for 2 weeks now at least
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.
How did you get this sentinel pack?
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
It's only slightly better for free playes since you can get 200 coins each split
Do people not realize that you don’t spend 20 bucks immediately and you can wait for the splits to near the end
40 bucks per 3 months. lmao. that's basically as expensive as a subscription service for something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hey uprise the price but i find hackers every game and fucking MMR is unbalanced as fuck i canr rank up in silver becasue triple predators with 120k of deaths just fck this game
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.
Cancel the whole fk game time to push them to fix the darn game
