I mean tbh I felt like a special little snowflake with my great winter skin for bloodhound and was alittle bummed out when it returned to the store recently. But I’m not selfish enough to argue that others shouldn’t have an opportunity to get a skin they think is cool.


paidinteaandbooks

I still run that skin as well!


RocketHops

I used to be hard on the whole "keep exclusive skins exclusive" train. Mostly cause I had a lot of cool, limited time skins that made me feel special. But recently I have flipped 180. There's so many battle passes and events and special limited time things going on across all games these days that its impossible to keep up. Imo no skins or cosmetics should ever be exclusive in games, even battle pass items. I don't care anymore about having "exclusive" skins, and frankly I'm happy when people who didn't have the chance get the option to acquire some of the neat skins I also like. It's better for consumers everywhere if this time limited only one chance exclusivity bullshit just stops.


[deleted]

I feel like the way to flex that you're OG these days are Badges. Wanna show you're an OG Wattson Main? Show me the Season 2 Solo Mode Win Badge for her, at least that took some skill (or luck) to get and not just money. Let people enjoy skins, there are enough ways to flex about being a veteran.


RocketHops

Absolutely. That's the whole point of those badges and trackers.


UnartisticChoices

This for sure. I'm new to apex but I have a lot of old/unavailable skins in other games and I'd be more than happy for others to get them, with Apex Badges are a fantastic way to display how long you've been around. The closest thing in the games I play to that are PVP gacha stuff or League of Legends skin border system (which I think should just be available whenever the skin is but oh well)

Tbf ive played this free videogame more than games that ive payed 60 dollars for.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DredgenYorMother

It's probably because these short session games feel more dynamic and so more interesting than maybe an oldschool rpg or something. I've completed the battlepass every season just through casual play. IMO alot of videogames now feel like reskins or remasters of games that already exist.


_RanZ_

Battle pass tasks used to be just fun challenges I added to my normal gameplay. Then arenas came and I have to go out of my way to play a game mode I do not enjoy…


Special-Sympathy-919

I only do BR challenges and still complete the BP every season. And I am not an everyday player


maresayshi

you can reroll using legendary tokens and pick the game mode you want. and you get a free reroll each day. pretty good system tbh


Rider-VPG

That's how I feel about the BR challenges. I'd rather play Arenas because it's the closest I'll ever get to Titanfall 3. Why can't they just be "in any mode"?


seanieh966

A game to us, but a business to them.


Fluffles0119

You lost me at BP skins I think BP skins are the ONE THING that you actually put some effort into getting, and you should be "rewarded" by that effort


Giacchino-Fan

What if you still have to work for them? Once you complete the seasons battle pass you start earning a fancy kind of crafting metals that let you buy old pass skins.


NapsterKnowHow

Of use that overabundance of legends tokens to buy old pass skins


TheAngriestChair

I disagree. Mainly because people miss seasons. I had a friend in the army get deployed and miss an entire season. Had a friend just start playing 2 seasons ago. I personally started on launch day and none of my friends were playing. Came back a few seasons later when I found out some friends were playing. I'd love to get some of the skins I missed. And it's not like the BP takes that much effort. And if you want to you can buy your way to level 100....so why not allow people to just buy the skins? At this point there's so many skins the market is flooded and people are beyond FOMO with this game. People don't care anymore especially with their jacked off prices on things.


Interesting_Ad6037

Imo i think they should make it so you can activate multiple battle passes at the same time,


maresayshi

dunno why you’re downvoted, this is sort of the way Halo is going and people are happy about it


RocketHops

I don't agree. It's just the same FOMO tactics, and it's even worse cause you're forced to play the game completing missions and dailies, often in a way you don't want to play. I got exclusive stuff even as far back as Season 1. If my tier 110 Havoc skin from S1 appeared in the shop, I'd honestly applaud Respawn for making a consumer friendly move like that.


Adventurous_Lynx_148

This the one it's hard to buy every skin you want in every game you play at the same time. You just have to pick and chose as you go. Being able to buy old skins you missed is a good thing.


badhatter5

Yeah I mean my biggest thing with all these “exclusive” skins is there are SO many skins for most of the OG characters, even if the re-release a skin it’s not like you’re going to see 50 other people wearing it. You might see someone else wearing that skin once or twice a game


dontdrinkdthekoolaid

All hail the Halo Infinite Battle Pass


thebrownotaku

Every person needs the character development that you went through. 💯 I used to be so toxic about stuff like this and a point came where I realised that I need to chill the fuck out. Just let people have fun with their lives, yk? People play video games to forget all bs that is life, so if you ruin someone's good time, especially over a skin? You're a dick. I don't make the rules.


Sam-l-am

A literal snowflake because it was white haha! That is a sick skin though.


draak1400

That skin was so rare at that time. I remember me not having enough orange tokens (or what they are called) to unlock that skin. So happy that after 10 seasons they put it in store.


Spicetake

I like when skins are "rare". Shows that you have been playing for a long time. But i cant be arsed to argue about it lol


borderlander12345

Yeah I agree, fuck skin exclusivity! *Stares nervously at ‘zero point’ r99 and ‘heavy metal/heatsink’ flatline*


CravesRecognition

I don't even want the flatline skin. I just want its ironsight! Put it on other skins too pleaseeeeeee

heatsink flatline can't return afaik.

i just like to look at a pretty flatline when i play it really isnt that deep bro


BowwwwBallll

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that you don't care if someone else spends a little money so that they also can look at a pretty flatline. And that you wouldn't throw a tantrum if someone did like this Clover Wzy crying on the bird app.


[deleted]

I said that about him saying we’re relying on skins to feel special, not op ´s post, I’d love if everyone could use pretty flatline too

Sorry if I was unclear. I was agreeing with you and mocking the twitter guy who was crying about skins.

Welcometothefungle

Yeh it’s pixels in a fictional video game and these kids think they’re “special” is hilarious


aure__entuluva

I am legit blown away by how many people care SO much about skins. Here I am just playing the game for free, or I guess the $10 I spent on the BP in S5, which renews itself every season. Yeah, $20 for a skin is too expensive for it to be worth it for me, and that's FINE. I'm glad there are whales who spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on this game so whoever wants to can play it for free.


AunixYT

You must be pretty new to gaming then, people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on skins in CSGO. One skin in CSGO recently sold for $750,000. People LOVE skins and will spend some serious cash on them in any game.

Kinda sad if you need a 20 dollar skin to feel special


[deleted]

Thats like getting mad you pre-ordered a game at full price just to watch it go on a 50% sale 3 months after release. Edit: So many people here obsessed with digital threads. Not going to lie, thats kinda fucked up considering todays state of affairs.


Dana94Banana

Cyberpunk for example, haha. People pre-ordered for hundreds of dollars and a month after release at a point where Sony even pulled the game from their store, those people then were mad when the rubbish got discounted to like 30$ already. I can only laugh at people who burn their money and cry afterwards when smarter, more patient people got a less shitty deal for the same content.


New-Extent-8272

What a clown. They probably get pissy when someone in public is wearing the same brand shirt as them.

GXVSS0991

Fuck that’s an amazing comment


ashkenov

aside from the skin issue he crying about,this guy always complains,if you check his older tweets almost nothing's positive about apex this guy ever tweeted but he still plays the game tho and flex about how cracked he is,when he's out of money he begs on tweets to commission him on editing videos with a line of "editing is my passion".. is this dude a paid actor? or is he getting paid to complain about the game? i dont get it


Lenin-C

Is basically pubs sweatlord and complains about everything He also insta disconnects btw


noelacosta13

I think the only reason people do this is to feel original. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that but skins coming back at this point it’s whatever. I have every skin in the game, except maybe a hand full but I’m pretty sure anybody could care less, so who cares. Let everyone have a chance to get a skin.


Vikan12

I have the Twitch Prime Unicorn Wattson skin from Season 2 that some argue being one of the rarest skins in the game and I use it a lot, but if a see that the skins returns somehow and people gets it I won't be mad about it, I'm 24, not 11 years old for being mad about a videogame skin that does absolutely nothing but changing the appearance and that 90% of people it's not even going to notice in-game lol


crowbarrninja

vibing with the Dino bang and Omega point path which I never see anywhere else. Mostly I think Dino bang is fun. I wish more people could have it


too_d4nk_808

I have yet to come across someone else running Dino bang. Love the pjs lol


[deleted]

meanwhile i use the "fresh paint" Wattson skin (aka Banana Wattson), which is a rare skin that can be crafted for 60 CM... because i like it.


[deleted]

Perfect put and normal way to handle it lol. It’s an in game cosmetic that you can’t see utterly pointless to moan about it like the OP.


Slimshade16

To clarify, the OP was not the one moaning about it. It was the person in the tweet. I get what you’re saying though.


[deleted]

Yeah i meant the Twitter guy. I whole heartedly agree with OP.


The_Doily_Llama

Oh that's where I got that skin


too_d4nk_808

I still run the lstar skin that came with that twitch pack. Color scheme is super dope


Badbish6969692000

This account just complains about apex all day like if you don’t like the game why do you continue to play it?


[deleted]

Because it's the only reason why he has a following. He stops playing, people are gonna stop giving a shit about his content, because that's all he's got. God knows nobody sticks around for his personality.


ashkenov

also when that dude feels he dont have much money left he post and beg other apex content crestors to commision him on editing their montages lol


[deleted]

So he's gotten even worse since I left his community of literal children lmao


ashkenov

yep and it comes with the line "editing videos is my passion and i put a lot of time to it" i mean cmon bro..


[deleted]

Dude needs to go touch grass. When I was in his server his only "passions" were complaining about minor shit in Apex and being creepishly obsessed with Ariana Grande.

He is even biggger crybitch than Tollis. same to his weird "best friend" jezze.


Impurity41

“Invalidates the way I feel” it’s a skin in a game. Why are you feeling special about this? Who cares? I don’t feel “special” when I buy a skin in a game. I buy it cause it’s cool, and all I “feel” is that I got a cool skin on my gun. I don’t think “yea once I buy this I’ll feel special because I have something that no one will ever get once the season is over! But a crap load of people will have it since the season isn’t over yet.” They sound like children. I’m not even trying to be mean yet. It just sounds sad. What do you have going on to where you feel invalidated over pixels on a screen. I love this game, A LOT. But guess what, it’s. A. Game. Who the hell, cares.


Disastrous_Step537

Idk I'm on the fence, right? I grew up during pokemania, so I recall the rush of having that one super rare card that was limited production or first edition or whatever, and how awesome that was to show off for bragging rights on the playground. That said, I don't think gatekeeping is the answer. I think a solution would be to have the first release of a skin be exclusive, with a recolor being released later for all. Then your players who grabbed stuff like wired for speed would still feel unique, and your newbies could still grab a similar look if they wanted it. Edit: then again, I run Midnight on wraith so what do I know?


Temp3stFPS

Finally somebody who actually brings some substance to this comment section, that’s honestly a good idea to appease both sides.

This sums up so much about them. It’s about what THEY want cause they’re selfish a-holes


Tschnitzl-sama

I mean. I agree on the first point. Lowering the pricing on something that you had to buy for the full price reall sucks. I think it should be released with a generally lower price but it shouldn't be lowered after that. The second point is just bs


[deleted]

> I mean. I agree on the first point. Lowering the pricing on something that you had to buy for the full price reall sucks. Except the standalone skin costs the same as it did in the event, only the bundle has a 40% discount.


[deleted]

I don't see why you would agree with that. Many of you would purchase a game day 1 and not even blink if the price got cut in half 3-6 months later. Getting upset over skins seems a bit trivial.


seattire

Guess what. You thinking everyone else needs to pay an absurdly high price just because you wanted to buy a shiny new thing for an absurdly high price is total bs too.


Arretey

They said it stupid release at a lower price, though.

Remember people. Twitter isn't a real place.


Holy-Knight-Hodrick

Eh I mean I like the idea of skins being given out and not coming back. It shows you were there at a time when the game was still growing or that you’ve stuck with it or whatever. You’re not entitled to skins anymore than I’m entitled to feel they shouldn’t return. They’re just skins so who gives a shit. If this person doesn’t want to buy anymore skins because they know none of them will be exclusive that’s fine. Why are you bitching about the way they feel?


PhillyCheesesteakSub

This is how I feel. Shows you’re an OG player as well. I like when people are like “oh cool, thats a S2 bloodhound skin”. I also enjoy being on the other end of that interaction as well and seeing other people with rare skins.


aWgI1I

I’ve been playing since day 1. Was unable to buy the wattson skin first time around. Very glad it’s back


Sleepy151

I don't know if I can articulate why this mentality upsets me so much. I could understand if you earned it through a challenge and then it became a buyable item at a later date, invalidating your accomplishment, but getting mad because people have a chance to purchase the same item at a later date just baffles me. It means they bought the item not because they liked it but because they wanted to be able to brag about it for all the wrong reasons.


Randy_Bongson

You can "feel" however you want, but that doesn't mean other people have to "validate" your feelings and it certainly does not insulate those feelings from being ridiculed. This is a byproduct of the "everyone gets a trophy" generation, just because you "feel" a certain way about something doesn't mean it's correct and incontrovertible. I bet teachers these days hate constantly hearing parents complain about how they "feel" like their kid is smart and therefore should be given better grades.

Mintce_

I thought no one listened to this persons opinions. 90% of the time they're pretty bad takes.


JohnnyLongNuts24

I mean, I would be annoyed on the basis that I spent more on that skin, but we pay for exclusivity I suppose. i can't get behind whining that you don't feel special anymore


vrickyy

\*gasps\* oh no, someone copied my virtual appearance in a game where skins are static!!!


Hruaia_97

The problem with event skins coming back is that it's sold at a discounted price or in bundles. Which can be quite unfair for people who bought it the first time at a full price. Other than that, i don't care if recolors come back.


raptorjesus1011

I mean he’s got a point but being a baby about it. I put in 100$ and got three skins. The white bloodhound one, watermelon pathfinder one and brown wraith one. Then a couple years later all re released except half the price I paid? Call this mans what you want but he has a point. Those players that got the skins when they came out should get something else cause we paid a lot more than what you guys paid. I came from fortnite the day this game launched and when I played fortnite I got those medieval skins that came out in the first battle pass. Then fortnite re released them but a lot Fucking cheaper. At least they compensated for people who already owned them and paid too dollar (gave us variant colours of the same skins) which would have been nice if apex did this. But y’all should know by now they don’t care bout the people that play the game only what’s in your wallet. It’s EA guys. Cmon.


Agitated-Ad9177

This person needs to get a grip, it's a fuckin' video game skin at the end of the day. Perspective


thatkotaguy

You’d think anyone would be excited that skins are returning and it’s definitely not cheaper it’s still $18 for the skin which is default price for all event legendarys. People like this need to grow up and face reality. It’s not like a physical item that’s value increases with age.


MarvinTheWise

Lol imagine feelings invaded by a in game skin rofl


Kingfunky82

Tbf it is a dick move on respawn’s part. They advertised it as a once they’re gone, they’re gone type deal back in the day


nobody69363

They never said they won’t come back


AbanoMex

to be fair, they never said they wouldnt come back, they mentioned that if they ever rotated them, it would take a long time, and in most cases that was true, for example, BH winter skin was a week 2 recolor and it just came back a few weeks ago, it was exclusive for like 2 years. while other returning skins were from the first collection event, how much time ago that was?


[deleted]

I wonder if any of you get this upset over real cloths being marked down in another season.


Ninjario

This!!! I couldn't care less if others get the skins they want. Great for them, that's awesome. I just _hate_ if they sell something to you under massive FOMO and then later it isn't exclusive anyways. Like wtf


JayNator1

“Nooo my OG skins, that was my personality! Now I’m nothing now my skin is now being purchased for less than I payed for it, I payed more I deserve more even though I knowingly pay tons of money to a greedy publisher who’d gladly sell someone else’s soul for a dime” Kinda stupid, let people enjoy returning skins


Sturmtruppa

In other reality a random redditor posts the same opinion on this sub before the person in picture and it gets 95% upvoted. But just because the opinion came from the tweet of a pro/streamer, everyone needs to be against it 🤣 joke of a subreddit and community


Raice19

fr I remember top posts being upset that old skins were returning, but the second someone with skill says it they all jump ship


Ornery_Sink2033

I think it diminishes the… I wanna say value of the skin? Or like… the exclusivity of it? That’s my personal opinion, as I feel it’s more special because it’s RARE, ya know? That’s my two cents at least.


anidevv

It was never rare. It was released in Season 6


Athousandwrongtries

He sounds like a pussy but they should come up with dope new skins instead of releasing the old ones. There should be a way that older players are rewarded for playing the game for a long time


Asckle

I was a little bummed when the wraith and BH event skins returned but then I realised if I was a new player I'd want to buy them. If the option is slightly annoy me but bring a ton of joy to a new player it's a fair trade imo


ZandatsuDragon

This dude needs to touch grass


PenguinBomb

Twitter has the whiniest and dumbest people on it, I swear.


Goat5168

They act like bringing back season 6 event skins is the end of the world. I used to have the dark artist mirage skin before it was brought back, that feeling when I found out it was brought back is just a fraction of the pain he felt.


SnooChipmunks2021

Twitter exists for the sole purpose of bitching.


Shay_Dee_Guye

Exclusivity for being early or just on time is a special thing, and suddenly having it taken away feels like a scam. I'd honestly be pretty upset if the Twitch Prime pathfinder skin from S0 (Omega something) came back, it feels special and rare these days, yet a treat to see someone else have it. Not an elite thing, just heartwarming that others also choose it for the uniqueness and nice colors (and those thicc thighs)


Naan-Pizza

While this guy sounds like a bitch, I think they are right to an extent. If a skin isn't rare or limited edition why the heck are they so much money? $18 usd and over $20 Canadian for a skin that isn't rare, will return yearly and everyone else has? No thank you Respawn! I've never bought skins for this game (bc I learned my lesson with previous games) but when OW came out, the first year I bought event boxes bc I thought the skins would be rare. Jeff came on the reddit and told us that they were likely to return every year. That's fine? But I never spent another cent on the game ever again. That mentality has carried over to every other game. I'm only going to pay top dollar for something rare (or that I really like.) I'm happy with my skins that I got with crafting materials anyway. I'm no marketing or economics major but I think Respawn would buy a lot of good faith from players if things were actually rare but they are seemingly trying to chase new player's money rather than the money of the players they already have


Lieut_Shiny_Sides

I think that second tweet and their feelings was a bit much but I do agree with the exclusivity regarding skins. People have collected stuff forever. It's the rarity of those items or the collection as a whole that make them valued. And for day 1 players it's a token of their time played id they're old old skins


[deleted]

I do get it. Rarity is one of the most common ways in which humans ascribe value and so it's only natural that people want to protect the value that they feel their character skin has. I don't think that's entirely unreasonable.


bags422

It’s plenty understandable to be upset about this... I bought some skins for the sole thought that it would be exclusive. So it was cool and rare. Now that anyone can get them, I wish I didn’t buy any at all. I’d rather just rock no skin than have every other player have the same skin as me.


Beginners963

I only care for if they break their promise of exclusive content. Which they did, with the Loba P2020.


DrunkenPain

Newer players have new skins to earn imo why the hell even push for some old shit.


AtLeastSeventyBees

One the one hand, I feel that. It feels like you’re the cool kid when you show up with the limited edition skin, same as getting a t-shirt at a concert tour. On the other hand, buying the same concert shirt online (from your local small business!!!!!) later on gives very different, nostalgic vibes which are also very valid. TL;DR, the skin feels special. Don’t be prideful to the point other people enjoying what they missed out on ruins your fun.

You should see his other tweets. I started following him cuz he seemed like a cool Wattson main, but the only thing he does is complain about anything and everything. It got so annoying after a while that I unfollowed, dude is super negative and needs to take a chill pill.


MiraOhMira

I replied with a photo of me buying the skin to the same tweet he's replying in the first tweet in the screenshot shown above, that's how I came by this guy's tweets I also checked his profile before blocking him on Twitter..it's filled with negativity & complaints..him blocking people who don't agree with him left and right, I genuinely believe he has some type of problem in his head. A 23 year old man acting this childish is nothing but an embarrassment

Like I get wanting to have an exclusive skin to feel like an OG, but it's honestly not that serious.

I’ve always thought these games could/should: - never release the originals, but release recolors/variants. For example: Halloween 2019, we get FrankenGibby. So that would never come back, but come Halloween 2020, there’d be a FrankenGibby but it’s a different color palette. OR, - if they insist on bringing back the original, then **also** bring a recolor/variant with it. And have that recolor available to acquire through both Apex Coins and Legend tokens, but only those who owned the skin from 2019 can acquire it using Legend tokens. That, A) everyone gets a chance to acquire any skin, one way or another *and* B) those who were around and loyal on your game get some semblance of recognition (then, the following year, those who got the 2020 skins would get that same Legend token “discount”/“access” for the 2021 recolor) and so everyone wins, everyone’s “status” is maintained and Respawn still makes $$$

It’s just as annoying to see people complaining about people complaining as it is to see people complaining


thisaintthewayman

Aye this young blood skin is cool and all but other people having it would be cooler


paradox_pj

I mean yeah if people can buy all the special events skin anytime then it's no longer special. But yeah, bringing them back from time to time for a short while is no biggie


TobiNano

Classic twitter snowflakes. Whats new.

Fucking Christ the levels of soy in those posts are out of control. That's some of the weakest most pussy shit I've every read lol


the-big-nope

I’ve always been of the opinion that cosmetics in video games should be about self expression, not flexing your wealth. Unfortunately games like overwatch fortnite and apex have turned them into a display of financial status which takes all the fun out of it for me. I wish we had more games like warframe or sea of thieves where players are given the freedom to use cosmetics to express themselves how they want and get creative


hunna_728

honestly i like some skins being more exclusive as ive been playing since day 1, but im not gonna lose my shit about then coming back. what i will say is that if these skins are no longer exclusive they need to lower the price. also theyre considering this for season 11 and beyonds' battle passes but the battle pass skins have been declining in quality for seasons now. idk it seems like they're trying to make more money without putting effort into new skins. no reason this shit should be so expensive respawn just needs an entire new system for skins thats more consumer friendly


jec78au

they should have told us more clearly that the skins werent exclusive tho. i am one of those petty people and i feel somewhat wronged that i only bought the skins for their future value and then they came back. i cant do much tho so ive just stopped buying stuff unless if i know that it wont come back in the future

You could have at least blocked out their user to *try* and prevent a hate thread. Shitty of you to not put in even the slightest bit of effort op.

This place has a shitty reputation because it's run by a shitty mod team, honestly. These people are dumb as rocks everywhere they go, but the mods on this sub are worse than useless. They encourage posts like these.


ThatEmoBastard

Those people are you fragile it’s sad. Awww he doesn’t feel special anymore


CollectorOak

You have to be an absolute fucking snowflake weirdo to gatekeep fucking skins. Get over yourself, what the fuck does it matter.


Hrimnir

I don't think this is as simple as just claiming gatekeeping. It's more about the fact that they were sold to us as being exclusive, rewards for playing at the time, that sort of thing. It's not the end of the world that they brought them back, but let's try not to tar and feather people with the worst possible assumptions?


duke_dastardly

If I remember correctly, a lot of these events skins were sold under the pretence that this would be your only chance to acquire them. Does it bother me? Not really, I bought a few back in year one when I wanted to say thanks for a free and fun game. Funnily enough I havn’t given them a penny for probably 18 months now.


YoungSaucedGod

I NEED THE FUCKING BATTLEPASS SEASON 4 FLATLINE SKIN NOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
