Recoloring Battle Pass Skins & Its Ethics
With the recent leaks of future recolors to previous battle pass(BP) skins, I can't wrap my head around anyone supporting this idea. The excuses I see others use to defend this completely ignores the...

@Psn388 The only thing I an see making this negative is if we're forced to use apex coins to get recolors of skins we've essentially already paid for instead of legend tokens. I'll understand if you dont own the original skin then you have to use apex coins, but aside from that I really dont mind. This is for the anniversary after all we dint have evidence that they'll be doing this all the time. If it goes well then maybe every anniversary a few skins will get a re color. But it doesn't seem too huge if that would be the case with three or four seasons and events coming out each year.
And there is some variations on the models, for instance i dont recall the spikes on the season one skins. I kind of like it. Longevity? If someone missed out itll attract them back or new players who've seen past skins but didnt get to the game in time.
Oh and uh comments 1-4, 8, and 9

@DK9027 So, you don't see dishonest advertising as being negative? The spikes are also on the season one tier 100-110 Havoc skin. The recolor is an exact copy of the original except for the color.
@Psn388Still its not really false advertising is it? The model has been recolored yes, but people arent getting the the specific coloring from past battle passes. One could argue that this enough of a distinction to fall in line with what they said about past battle pass skins not returning.
I refer you back to my original comment. I dont Care, the skins look amazing. As long as we can use legend tokens to get the recolor of the skins we've paid for already I'm fine.@Psn388Nearly all the worlds advertising holds dishonest advertising. This is what you are not understanding.
Example
Pictures of food restraunts offer to sell you. You get food it looks nothing like its picture.
Insurance they talk you up on everything it covers then in the end you get a huge bill.
Self driving cars offer the safest driving experience one can offer yet it has had wrecks.
Trains are known as one the safest and fastest ways of travel yet they come off the tracks at times or hit cars at intersections.
Taxes you are told you will pay less in taxes which may be true but you take a smaller refund because they accounted the taxes in that.
ALL advertising by any company has hidden dishonest advertising in it. Its up to the user if they choose to see it and choose to buy it or not.- @Psn388 I see you have never been in marketing and it shows. Companies are here to make money not sugar coat things. What do you think pays all these devs and designers and tos teams lore teams? Companies say and do many things in the name of advertising to generate income on a free to play game.
