Apex Legends is having a tough week

Apex Legends It seems like it can’t catch a break. The game has been plagued by two notable issues over the past few weeks.

First up was the announcement made earlier this week by hero shooter developer Respawn Entertainment. It was a rebalancing of the game’s battle pass.. Starting from Season 22, the Battle Pass is now split into two parts, each with 60 levels. Additionally, players no longer have to choose between AC or top‘s in-game currency. “The decision to move to real-world currency in AC was not made lightly, but it has allowed us to lower the Premium+ price point for our community,” the announcement reads.

Players have reacted negatively to these changes, accusing Respawn and publisher EA of cheating their customers. Respawn claims the new system is a way to “increase value” for players. But removing the ability to purchase Battle Passes with in-game currency (previously, players could complete Battle Pass progression to earn enough coins to purchase another Battle Pass without spending any more real money) has many seeing as a way for the studio to squeeze more money out of its dwindling player base. The backlash has been fueled by players Steam has started bombarding reviews of the game.Previously mostly positive reviews have now been downgraded to mostly negative.

In terms of esports Apex Legends Another embarrassing incident occurred as the players participated. Apex Legends Global Series Tournament An incorrect payment has been reported to your account. One player received $100,000 in his account just days after starting to play. Other players reported similar incorrect payments, either too much or too little. The tournament organizer, ESL Faceit, took responsibility, calling it a “system error” that led to the incorrect payments. polygon “As the payout partner, we are working to resolve this issue quickly and ensure all players receive their correct prize payout,” a tournament spokesperson wrote.
