Apex Legends’ holiday Twitch drops of old skins are here—and the players who bought them aren’t happy

It’s the holiday season, and over the week encompassing Christmas, part of Hanukkah, and several other winter holidays, Apex Legends is giving away old skins as Twitch drops that players can earn by watching their favorite streamer. Some players aren’t happy about it, however.

The Twitch drop move is a nice one for most players as well as streamers. Players get the chance to earn a bunch of free cosmetics just by doing something they probably would’ve already done: watch Twitch. At the same time, the move serves to give a little boost to the Apex content creator community over the holidays since every streamer on Twitch in the Apex category will have drops enabled on their stream, no matter how big or small that streamer is. The problem isn’t about having Twitch drops, however. It’s about what’s being given away in those Twitch drops.
