Why change the battle pass

Since Season 2 when I purchased the pass, earning the next season's pass by playing hundreds of hours of this game has been the main motivation for me to keep playing, and so I can spend some money on the skins instead... I've spent at least $700-800 on skins since the game came out, $80 of skins this season alone... because I know I can just grind out the battle pass and EARN the next one, because that's how it SHOULD be... And to support the game by paying for a skin I like - take care of your player base, and they will take care of you.

Needless to say, I, too, will not be purchasing the battle pass, or any skins until this is changed. Apex Legends I've spent over 5000 hours playing, just for them to pull this sort of crap now... How dare they.
