Apex Legends End of Year Sale Scandal

Respawn Entertainment Faces Backlash Over Apex Legends End of Year Sale

The Apex Legends community is declaring an open war against Respawn Entertainment's as their End of Year Sale is received with outrage and overall bad reactions, leaving players with a bitter taste of disappointment. What was supposed to be a festive shopping spree for exclusive Legend skins and cosmetic bundles has turned into a heated debate over what many players are calling "shamelessly expensive" prices.

Apex Legends is no stranger to rolling out great deals and discounts during special occasions. Players enthusiastically received Black Friday and the Fall Frenzy Sale, which offered them the opportunity to boost their collections with discounted prices on their favorite skins and cosmetics. However, the absence of a dedicated Christmas event caused complaints, as almost every player was expecting festive content, and now the End of Year Sale has taken a hit as well.

Players took to social media to voice their frustration with the prices of the content after finding nothing but exorbitant prices in the End of Year Sale. An enraged Apex Legends fan, StraightFPS, expressed their disappointment, questioning why the Voidwalker skin, once hoped to be a steal, now carries a staggering price tag of 2500 Apex Coins.

Comparing it to previous sales like the Fall Frenzy, where prices ranged from 1000 to 2500 coins, the community is now wondering if Respawn is just going to stop doing real sales and just slightly reduce prices. The End of Year Sale has witnessed a surge in prices, with Respawn boosting up the prices of cosmetic bundles, which are now demanding anywhere from 2500 to 6700 coins.

The community backlash has been fast and merciless, with players accusing Respawn of shamelessly overpricing their skins and not giving anyone a real chance at getting them at a discounted price. One player expressed a mix of frustration and resignation, stating, "They're so shameless about it, I can't even be mad anymore, just disheartened." Another lamented the ongoing trend of high skin prices, saying, "The skins have always been overpriced, they have never changed."

Some theories even emerged, with a player speculating that EA's loss of FIFA as an intellectual property might be driving an attempt to extract every drop from Apex Legends players by boosting the prices. The feeling among some players is that the sales strategy has taken a turn for the worse.

When is the Apex Legends End of Year Sale happening?

Respawn has announced that the End of Year Sale will run from December 27 to January 10, promising players "limited-time discounts on bundles and so much more."

However, as the controversy continues to escalate, we can’t be sure if Respawn will reconsider the pricing strategy in response to player feedback. As of now, the developers have not issued a response to the outrage circulating within the community.

The Apex Legends End of Year Sale 2023 has become a battlefield of its own. Whether Respawn Entertainment will adjust the prices or hold their aim remains to be seen. We’ll keep you updated, so stay tuned for more Apex Legends news.
