Apex Legends gets the ol' Steam review bomb treatment. The free-to-play shooter is facing blowback from its new cash-only battle pass policy. (www.pcgamer.com)

After over 1,000 hours in that game, I left my negative review a couple years ago and quit forever. The predatory monetization eats away at the fun. Slowly at first, but building up over time. It's just been bad decision after bad decision since the game came out. You slowly start to realize the game you've been playing isn't even fun anymore and you only play for the new cosmetics for fear of missing out. Daily challenges, weekly challenges, seasons, events, limited time game modes, premium skins, loot boxes, special legendary cosmetics for those that spend the most, vaulting content for a false sense of scarcity and slow progression. And now after all this, the one thing people could get from a one time purchase (if they grind hard enough) is gone. Honestly, I'd leave another negative review if I could.

I left when I realized people weren’t aimbotting… they’re just using a controller and my keyboard/mouse ass is being auto-aimed at from medium and short distances.

Yeah, the fact that all the pro player switched to joypad was so sad
