Shroud is "over" the Apex Legends battle pass

Former esports professional turned streamer Michael 'Shroud' Grzesiek has criticised Apex Legends' battle pass for making players feel like they're coerced into playing the battle royale.
In a video where he streamed Apex Legends - brought to our attention by Dot Esports - Shroud explains why he thinks battle passes are bad for Apex Legends, and why battle passes in games in general hinder the player's gameplay experience rather than enhance it.
"God, the battle pass meta is so ... I just don't like it anymore. I'm over it. I'm over the battle pass meta," Shroud says. "I want to go back to the days of just grinding and playing the game. You play and you see your tokens go up. Then you buy what you want. It's just easy."
