unnecessary badges in the game

can you please stop putting unnecessary badges in the game. I do not care for your politics and do not want it in the games I play.

you DO NOT need a badge for BLM or Gay Pride or Asian hate.

I really do like playing apex but this is ruining the experience for me.

    But I must agree there is no place for faked interest in political/social platforms from a company that only cares about money, in their video games.

    But that said, you don't need to equip any of the badges either, it's a non-issue, other than how they cheapen the actual movements by faking like they care.

  • @DarthVaderNo13Its honestly just a greedy scheme to earn more money, they feel if certain groups of people feel accepted they may be more willing to either drop cash into the game or stick around and continue playing 

  • @Irres169 If they lock this thead for a general opinion about badges, they cencor free speech. They may say they can do what they want because its their forum, but it doesnt make it right and they lie to themselves and thats not much better than adding these badges for the sake of virtue signaling, which is probably the case.

    Hey folks,

    These badges were put into the game by Respawn developers that have a personal interest in the matter and care about the issues. 

    Feel free to check out this video from the developers that worked on the badges so you can hear their reasoning directly.

    As a reminder, please keep your discussions and comments here respectful of others. I'll be locking this thread as it's already getting away from that point, thanks.
