As a free-to-play FPS, Apex Legends relies on the sales of cosmetics to generate profit and continue live-service updates. While the community is aware of this, there has been growing frustration among players that skins are becoming too expensive and Heirlooms are overpriced. This came to a boiling point with the release of the Celestial Sunrise event on January 24, where instead of an Heirloom, Respawn released the Jadeite Retribution Peacekeeper which cost a total of $160 to unlock through packs. Well, after unlocking the reactive skin on stream, ImperialHal called out \u201ccringe\u201d pros who refuse to buy skins, saying \u201cpeople whose job is to play the game\u201d should \u201cshow some support\u201d to EA and Respawn. ImperialHal calls out pros for not buying Apex Legends cosmetics During a recent stream, ImperialHal decided to unlock the Jadeite Retribution Peacekeeper and called out the \u201ccringe\u201d pros who are refusing to buy skins because they think they\u2019re overpriced. Although he understands \u201cRespawn and EA can be not the best\u201d, he thinks pros \u201cmight as well give them 160 bucks\u201d because the developers are the reason they have a job. According to him, these pros need to get their \u201chead out their arse\u201d and \u201cshow some support\u201d as the devs \u201ccan\u2019t be perfect all the time\u201d. It\u2019s clear Hal feels that he owes EA and Respawn for the career he\u2019s built in Apex Legends and believes skins are a good way to give back. It\u2019s worth noting that Hal says he understands \u201cit\u2019s different for casual people\u201d and that he can see why normal everyday players are getting angry. However, for him, Apex pros need to realize that without EA they wouldn\u2019t have a career, and therefore, he thinks they should buy the game\u2019s cosmetics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ImperialHal calls out \u201ccringe\u201d Apex Legends pros refusing to buy skins Respawn Entertainment\/TSMTSM star Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has called out \u201ccringe\u201d Apex Legends pros that refuse to buy skins &#038; Heirlooms, saying they should \u201cshow some support\u201d.
