I don't actually understand the business model of this game at all.

Purchase cost - £0

Reason to spend any money if you don't want skins = 0%

Reason to spend any other money at all - 0%

I don't think you are confused at all because there is nothing to be confused about, it is a free game with no reason to spend any money on it.

Although that in itself is confusing.

    If you dont think the pass is worth it, then dont buy it. That simple.

      I think the point is they want it to be worth it lol.

        Well you can cut it two ways:

        Don't buy it if you want cool skins. Not much is on offer.

        Do buy it if you understand how much it would suck to entertain thousands/millions of people for hundreds of hours each and get nothing in return.

        I want to pay only because I've passed the 100 hour mark but also seen that the other store offerings are abysmal. If the game dies before I gave them a single penny that would make me a part of the problem. This is the best way to give them a fair donation for everything they've done up to this point, base game included.

    I think the angst is coming from this game not having a standard progression system. Like me, a lot of players play for the progression tree. Meaning we play for unlocks. This game only really has one way to progress. And that’s unlocking skins. Can’t rank guns or unlock attachments. So the progression in this game is going for skins. That being said if you pay for the season pass the max chances you get at skins are the 3 that drop for everyone and the octane skin. The rest of your chances are 11 maximum apex packs or 21 packs if you spend the gold on them. That means for the next 3 months your only progression is the 4 guaranteed skins and then some packs with minimal chance of getting a skin to drop. That’s a rather lean progression tree. The only caveat is that you can spend more money to buy coins or packs outside the season pass. So even though you are paying to play by buying the season pass you are still paywalled from progression with only 4 guaranteed skins over the entire course of the season. So they are double pay walling the progression system.

    At least this is what I’ve been reading. And I totally understand it. I want to support the game. I want to pay to play. But I don’t want to pay double just to have progression. Playing for fun is great and everything but with nothing to strive for it feels like an empty gaming experience. Unless you pay up of course. If you open your wallet, multiple times, then you have progression.
