"Fortnite" recently entered its most controversial season, and now another multiplayer game is following its lead with some major changes. EA just pushed forward the most unpopular overhaul in "Apex Legends" history, totally reworking the game's Battle Pass system for Season 22. Up until now, a single Battle Pass lasted for an entire season, cost $9.99, and could also be purchased with Apex Coins that players could earn in-game. Moving forward, "Apex Legends" is splitting its Battle Pass in half. Now the $9.99 pass lasts for half a season, for 60 levels instead of 110. There's also a new Premium+ battle pass that costs $19.99 and includes extra level skips, exotic shards, and skin variants. Assuming you always buy the biggest and best package available, your typical cost for a season of "Apex Legends" just jumped from $10 – or $0 if you earned enough Apex Coins – to $39.98. Oh, and you can no longer pay for the Pass with Apex Coins.

Apex Legends Players Furious Over Major Changes

Fortnite players are calling for a simple customization feature to make back blings and other accessories fit skins better. Fortnite dishes out a ton of cosmetics in the Item Shop, from skins to backblings and beyond. More often than not, though, these backblings don’t stick properly to skins, even when they come in the same bundle. This leads to floating cosmetics that detract from the game’s visual appeal.

I always tell people that iPads, specifically iPad Pros, have the best displays for any tech device. Even dating back to the 2018 iPad Pro, that 120hz ProMotion display was second to none. As we have gotten new iPads, Apple has doubled down on the display by giving us MiniLED with the M1 iPad Pro, and now we have new OLED panels with the new M4 iPads. But aside from using features like Sidecar, you cannot natively use your iPad as a dummy display for other video sources. I am going to show you how.

Some surprise hits have reignited players' enthusiasm for what live service games can be, but even the most exciting online games of the year have fallen victim to similar flaws. In many cases, overpriced battle passes, rushed gameplay mechanics, and a general lack of fresh content can drive players away from games that initially had them all fired up.
