Re: $28 for just a single weapon skin is a little over the top...
Then don't buy it, CSGO as an example has skins for 1500€, people are not complaining.

- I mean, to be fair... You can't really compare those two. Imagine if Steam had an ingame store and tried to sell a skin for 1500€, instead of the marketplace (with massively inflated costs because of it). 15 bucks for a single epic (I think?) skin is very, very pricey.
CSGO skin prices for the most part are driven by market demand and quantity of supply... You also have the option to later sell/trade said skin for whatever its market value is or lower if you decide.
All skins in Apex Legends that are for sale are a set price determined by the developer and/or publisher with a presumably infinite supply, and once you have it you're stuck with it. Unless you sell your account which is against EA TOS. Basically once you buy the skin in Apex it's worthless. What's worse is that you have to buy an ingame premium currency to then buy said skin, and to make it yet worse you can't use that premium currency in any other game. EA premium game currencies are the epitome of anti-consumer bs. Imagine having a few dollars worth of leftover coin you can't use in 5 or 6 different EA titles.
It is NOT the same
