After a stealth release back in 2019, Apex Legends has gone on to become one of the most popular games in the world with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. However, Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale shooter hasn't been without its controversies. Case in point, players are boycotting Apex Legends after details emerged about Respawn's plans to release an overpriced limited-edition skin for the game to commemorate its third year.
According to this aptly-titled threat on Reddit, a growing number of Apex Legends players are planning to boycott the game because of the upcoming Prestige Bloodhound skin. The outrage stems from the skin taking the place of Apex Legends' heirlooms. To acquire the Prestige Bloodhound skin, players will have to buy all the other exclusive limited-edition cosmetics that Respawn will sell during its third-anniversary event. Because there could be a total of 24 cosmetics, players are looking at spending around $164 just to acquire the Prestige Bloodhound skin.
For what it's worth, the Prestige Bloodhound skin looks amazing. The only problem is that it shouldn't be as expensive as it is. The exorbitant price tag suggests that it is as valuable as the heirlooms from older Collection events in Apex Legends.
