@dtOddity92 I paid some hard earn money yesterday for some of the new skins.
Sure it was more expensive, but also looked fantastic so i had no problems with it.
I know that is might be to much money for young people, unemployed and so forth, but the world is not fair.
If they get enough money they will continue to set these prices. But they do listen to us players. Things have gone down in prices in the shop (some stuff) and these limited time skins may return later in the future at a lower price. We don't know yet.

@Werawulfaz You’re right, the real world certainly isn’t fair. Of course it is your personal right to spend money however you see fit. I’m not telling anyone to not buy these skins.
However if someone has the option to invest their time and money into a product, is it too much to ask for that consumer to receive a product that is considered to be fair from an ethical standpoint? And not just be expected to endorse unsustainable business models?
Granted the skins make you look and even feel good whilst playing. I know as I’ve purchased multiple Apex packs before... but when they bump up the price by seven times the original value, is that not evidence to suggest the developers are taking advantage of their demographic?
As for items returning later, they may well do. Yet I’m inclined to think the idea of these new event skins being reintroduced at another time with a lower price tag is highly unlikely.
If EA can arguably successfully sell these skins at 7x the cost of regularly available skins, lowering them will most likely be something they’ll endeavour to avoid as best they can.
