Respawn is walking back its unpopular changes to the Apex Legends battle pass

Apex Legends players will be able to use in-game currency once more to buy a battle pass tier after Respawn's latest changes.

The developer drew player outrage and a sweep of review-bombing earlier this month after it announced a new approach to the game's reward system. The original announcement was convoluted, but the gist of what frustrated the Apex community was that players would no longer be able to use in-game currency to access an upgraded version of the battle pass. But the trend toward game communities tanking review scores or directly harassing devs and creators to air their grievances at any changes means that the financial situation for many of these ongoing titles can still feel precarious.
