Hi @DankToliet @thanks for your reply and feedback 😊 Yes I agree, that is unfortunately the current state that they will never be released.
i have to admit I’m not sure what the specific. agreements are between respawn and Prime around releasing the skins, but it would be within their power to negotiate such an event between them if they thought it were beneficial to what the community wants, and that’s the only power we’d have to change it too - if the community wants to have their skins available then collectively asking for it is the only way to impact that. I would be interested in seeing those videos you mentioned.
as for battle pass - I agree - it’s a very different system - it’s very clear that it’s a pass for you to get all of those items but only if you level up within that season’s period. This is done to encourage people to play their game more! Ie they are trying to ensure they get maximum players during the season getting the battle pass items because they know the players understand that if they don’t get it complete in time it will be too late so they all spend more time playing. That’s a fair and very easy to understand system.
Prime gaming would also be trying to attract the most members. But then clicking on a skin doesn’t increase subscription to the service. The idea that they get skins is the lure to the service. That they need to be members before the skin is gone is a a catch to sign up immediately. But once you miss claiming the skin that you actually deserved due to your membership, assuming you really wanted the skin (ie you won’t care much if you didn’t like the skin really), there’s now nothing left than a feeling of disappointment and regret that the service doesn’t automatically credit your skins I think.

maybe youd have a small chance. I'm sorry, Loba skins aren't where they draw the line.
^ I'm sorry that you feel you missed out, but this. I wouldn't expect Jeff Bezos to empathize and change Prime Gaming marketing policies.
the reason why those skins are so cool and unique is cus u can only get them once and they arent rereleased
Hi @DankToliet thank you for the further reply 😊
I do understand, and agree with your point regarding renegotiating
I think the point I’m making might not be clear so just to reiterate, primarily I’m just interested in people having access to the skins they deserved as members. The re-release point is another way of achieving it but agreed unlikely to happen.
To put it another way. I was a member through all of those drops. I had linked my account. Why don’t I get all of those skins when they come out?
If you are a paying member and already have your account linked I don’t see why you need to then click on the skin during the period to receive it.
Hi @aaron317 thanks for your reply 😊 I agree that they’re only available once but just find it a little unfair that it’s not available to you unless you happened to know about it even though you’re a member with a linked account.
ironically though I haven’t found any of the other skins really that cool or worthwhile except this one that I mention. And that’s where it’s so disappointing to miss especially when I don’t recall it being advertised or mentioned anywhere.l and only found out about it just after it ended.
of course had I known I would’ve clicked it and then probably wouldn’t feel the need to start this thread, though I would bet if anyone else were in a similar situation they would also feel they should still be able to get their skin.
@FitmaidogI've been a linked member for years and I went 8 months without playing the game. I missed out and I understand why and I accepted it.
It's called returned traffic and marketing. If they set it up so you automatically get the rewards you'd have no reason to visit the site ever again. By forcing you visit each month it increases the likelihood that something else catches your eye and eventally your wallet. It also FORCES you to remind yourself the important of Prime each time you visit.
It's real simple marketing strategy, and you will never change it. Sorry you missed out, maybe a new skin that resembles the one you want releases. That one specifically will never come back.
Hi @pandareno1999 thanks for your reply 😊
I also wouldn’t expect Jeff Bezos to do that but I would expect his marketing team who actually would do that work to consider the most effective way to attract people to their service and implement the best method or adjust if they thought it’s not ideal.
Though mainly they would happen through people agreeing with and supporting the idea that I mentioned and sadly it seems to me that most people think it’s better that people who deserve the skins should indeed miss out if they haven’t clicked during the period. That’s a shame. I wonder if anyone else has genuinely missed it for a similar reason though and wants to see a similar change.
Hi @DankToliet - yes I think that’s a pretty good and fair point re the return traffic.
I think I agree with your sentiment. I just wish they actually made skins similar to that or as good as it in the game itself and not offer it on this service without really advertising it. Had I known it was out I would have definitely visited the site.
ironically I’ve collected every other skin since the launch of Apex. I’ve never found any of them special. And somehow this one came out and I wasn’t aware and it happened to be the best one they’ve done.
appreciate your effort to explain the situation 😊
at least I feel a little more like there’s nothing else I can do here!
