"Apex is so chalked": HisWattson, LuluLuvely, and others express frustration after Apex Legends error wipes progress and cosmetics

A new Apex Legends error that resets game progress and wipes cosmetics seems to have affected a lot of players, with professionals such as Jacob "HisWattson" and Twitch streamers and content creators like Lindsey "LuluLuvely" publicly calling out EA for the mishap. As it stands, the glitch seems to have caused a number of players to lose skins worth a lot of money, leading to widespread backlash on social media.

Popular Apex Legends streamer and pro player for FURIA HisWattson revealed in a post on X that he not only lost his Predator badge from last season but that several of his heirloom skins are also missing:

YouTube streamer Thordan Smash also vented his frustration at the issue, noting that he had lost nine tiers instead of six, and called out EA for releasing "the most expensive heirloom" skin in Apex Legends in an update that has made players lose their previous skins:

The new Apex Legends update was supposed to bring cross-progression to the game, allowing players to sync their progress from various platforms. However, it seems that due to some sort of error, many players have lost skins and rank progress.

On the other hand, another popular streamer, LuluLuvely, did not mince words while talking about the issue on social media. Taking to her official account on X, the Twitch star openly called out EA, describing them as a "terrible company" and insinuating that Electronic Arts was responsible for the error due to bad quality
