Players are criticizing Respawn again for the cost associated with buying recolors of existing skins. Not only is Apex Legends overflowing with vast worlds and colorful characters, but it\u2019s also brimming with a whole collection of vibrant cosmetics. With Legacy, the title\u2019s ninth season, set to introduce some Titanfall-inspired skins into the game to accompany Valkyrie, the hype is real. However, as Season 8 comes to a close with the War Games event and Golden Week Sale, fans have once again called out the developers for their monetization of cosmetics, particularly recolors. Apex fans criticize skin \u201csales\u201d While fans have always made their feelings clear on the costs associated with buying skins, a mixture of the War Games Event and a lackluster Golden Week Sale has stirred up controversy yet again. With one post slamming the price of Wraith\u2019s \u201crecolor\u201d \u2018Queen\u2019s Guard\u2019 War Games skin garnering 2.4k upvotes, and another attacking the Golden Week skins earning 13.2k votes, fans are not letting this issue go away. While it\u2019s important to note that the latter post was not removed by Respawn, despite claims to the contrary, a glance at the comments show that fans are really not happy with these latest recolor prices. One respondent writes \u201cI would spend so much money on Apex if they had a half decent store,\u201d while another admits \u201cI would LOVE to support this game with my money, but apparently they only care for the whales, so I end up missing out on cool things unless they come with the BP or I can somehow craft them.\u201d Can Respawn fix the store? Two years in and there\u2019s been little effort from the developers to look into how the store works, but some fans have put forward interesting suggestions. Many have compared the store\u2019s current situation to Fortnite, with one commenter noting \u201csay what you want about Fortnite, but its shop is great.\u201d Comparing the cost of Fortnite\u2019s cosmetics to Apex\u2019s, many argue that the rival battle royale is \u201csuper cheap.\u201d While many members of the community don\u2019t want Fortnite\u2019s gameplay transferred into Apex, it\u2019s clear that Epic Games have cracked the monetary code to urge players to buy skins. Will Respawn learn from this? Only time will tell, but with Season 9 around the corner and the skins already set, we might be looking at a fix in Season 10 at the earliest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players slam \u201coverpriced\u201d skin recolors again with Golden Week Sale Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends is a game filled with cool cosmetics, but their distribution has always been a point of contention.
