Apex Legends Respawn Is Going Too Far With This, People Are Mad
In today’s video I go over why respawn is going to far with the overpriced skins, especially with ones that are of low quality. It just isn’t right to be charging the same price as the battlepass for a skin that brings basically no value, and respawn seems to be making their prices progressively higher and more ridiculous as time passes. That’s why I’ve decided to address this in today’s video. Hope you enjoy 🙂

Keep in mind, i'm not saying the developers suck at their jobs. They are most certainly good at doing their job, but what I am saying is that they can do it even better if the community helps out. I understand that making a skin is more than just the design as it requires a lot more technical work in order to be finished. However, I wholeheartedly believe that creating a system where (for example) the top 5 skins designed by the community each month gets worked on by respawn and get put into the game would work much better. A combination of efforts from both sides which allows both parties to benefit! Respawn makes more money, and the people who designed the top 5 skins each get a certain amount of prize money as a reward. Let me know what you think 🙂
Don't help them. All they care about is the money.
Thirty?!FORTY!?
Community skins will NEVER be a thing because a huge company like EA doesnt want the chance that people might sue them for taking their work without a license, and maybe even with a contract to buy the skin design from a person there is the chance they get fucked too. Enjoy your stripes of different colors.
Terrible,10$ for a horrible skin, what a joke, they're not even struggling money wise, they made a billion…. it's just lazy work and people that support this, by purchasing these trash skins are definitely blind. At the end it's their money but god…those skins are AWFUL. The community is so talented, I was impressed with all those artworks you showed in the video.
I mean to me it makes sense that they’re 10 bucks. I mean like it’s a battle pass level that other players have grinded thru, so like if you dont wanna grind to have the skins right? Then pay
A skin should never cost more than 20 bucks lol… I mean they can mark however much they want but it is how it us
hey.
you do know you don't have to buy cosmetics?
also, if respawn uses community ideas, they have to pay the creator/give them royalties. They are probably hesitant to do this.
They should 100% allow the community to design these skins and let the programmers bring them to life. The skins we're getting lately are honestly F tier but as you said it's probably money related. I know I won't be paying 1000 AC for a crappy rare looking epic skin thats for sure
Respawn should do a community event at one point where several lucky people get their concept art made an actual skin in the game. That would be awesome
i knew a MMO rpg game that does outfit design contests once a while and add that design to game, everyone win
I absolutely love the community skins, they're better than most of the stuff that apex produces. It would be awesome of they let the community submit and give them a cut of the proceeds. I believe they are actually missing out on some fantastic content
lol it's the gaming industry in general. have you seen the halo infinite skins? they're basically destiny 2 shaders for $20. they're gonna keep rolling this over priced garbage out as long as people keep buying it.
This battlepass sucks
Warframe is a great example of a game where the devs actually give members of the community tools and pay them based on the skin sales they make. They even have specific updates to add more of these community cosmetics.
You are totally right. I would buy the Jessica Rabbit style Loba skin I saw on Reddit half year ago. I would buy it for 1000 as well I would not care 🙂 Anyway, a free phone game has a better financial strategy than these "guyz" we call devs. And they never learn…
Team Fortress 2 Cosmetics for Apex
Yes, 100% I want community skins, I also want them to be 30% more for kickback for the artist.
To prove your point about community skins would sell more and bring wanted content to the game… I was listening to this in the background until I looked over and saw that Shark Gibby skin. Now I'm going back to watch the whole video instead of just listen. I'd happily pay extra to cover both the price of coding/development from paper to game and the artist from the community. HAPPILY!!!
I actually really like this idea. I think having community input will lead to some absolutely stunning skins. I think the one issue here is that they probably don't want to pay other people their royalties for these skins, they probably would rather just make the money themselves. I do think they should at least consider reaching out to those who want to help out and make skins and it would help grow the game and community so much
As someone else said, I think skins could be stolen from the actual designer. Also, EA/Respawn would have to pay or reward the designers for skins likely and I imagine that wouldn't go over well
csgo accepts community made skins into their loot boxes (or cases as they're called in csgo). respawn could maybe do something like that, but it's a lot of work to get all the formatting and submission stuff to work well
Possibly, none of those community skins will be sold because respawn will have to pay a percentage to the creators and EA don't want that.
LOL…. DONT BUY IT….You get free skins in loot boxes… dude the game is free and I have never bought a skin…and neither have you…
this happened to overwatch until the devs started looking at concepts by the community and although they didn’t directly copy it they still took heavy inspiration from them you can literally see the difference from skins since they started doing that
I think the thing with those community skins is that they would have to give credit to whoever designed the skin or a certain percentage of all the money made from that certain skin, or they don’t it could lead to lawsuits. Just a guess tho
If they sell a Loba swimsuit skin for that price, I'd shit my pants, sell my leg and then run a mile to get it.
would much rather community skins
"Respawn is going too far with this, people are mad"
Shocker.
100% agree
I think this is 100% a great idea, there are so many crazy good community skins i would love to own haha
The rank changing has gone to far bronze in platinum rank match getting more points then us
They don't want to play royalties to external creators.
I agree with your thoughts
They are getting greedy and the skins have been weak especially the ones in the battle pass
30,40,50$ for a skin??? Mf that’s awhole bill 👀
once again, no one said you had to buy something you didnt like. literally no one is forcing you
a drawing isnt the same thing as a "skin"
Damn people really mad about an expensive shit skin that they can just ignore
Look dead by daylight allows the community to make great skins, hell they are even free at times. BHVR is a very small company to say the least you’d expect to see some kind of similar plan from respawn being a what billion dollar company?
It’s crazy how community skins are miles better than apex. It’s insane….
