The studio is shifting away from battle passes to release more varied content at a more regular pace.

    Good on them. Now if everyone else would get on board with this. Fomo pay to win battle passes are why I quit games rather than why I stay. One of the worst modern inventions for gaming since lootboxes.

      I actually like them when there isn’t a time limit. Chivalry 2’s battle-pass-thing is nice for that reason. It’s just something i can throw on while i play normally with no grind

        Halo does this very nicely. You can buy either the current battlepass or any other battlepass that’s been sold so far.

      Funny thing is, valve invented the battlepass, and now that almost everyone else is using it, they’re getting rid of it.

        Valve also “invented” the Free to Play model with loot boxes and showed on large scale how much money one can make with it, if I’m not mistaken.

          with the difference being that they didn’t lock any gameplay content behind payments. only cosmetics
