You know, I really loathe quote snipping.
It's such a tiresome and petty way of arguing.

EA isn't taking advantage of anyone here, they are offering the standard season pass price for the decent amount of content (assuming they copy a battlefield game with quantity). Ontop of that they are offering the first DLC free to all the players.

The game is £40, standard pricing
The pass will be £35, standard pricing

Unless you'd like to see the basegame cost £80/$90 so that they recover their expenditure from the production of a game, why complain about an optional season pass?
If this was the cut content debacle all over again, then yeah anyone should be pissed. It's not though, Jakku isn't going to be a 108kb day one download to activate disc locked content.

Whining =/= Their entire platform being at risk of sinking into the ground
They fucked up big time, the utter slating they got from the entire planet combined with no doubt dire preorder numbers of the console is what changed the game there. Not a few comments on a forum.

And the only way to get our point across is via our wallets and complaining.

And this is why you fail.

But hey, feel free to go onto battlelog bitching away and see how much they care.

The thing is though, there isn't a deluge of outrage over this. There is a bit of whining going on and that's it, that is because they aren't doing anything out of the ordinary. Every other major AAA publisher offers a season pass nowadays because it is an assured investment into producing extra content that both allows the player to enjoy more of the game and the dev/pub to recover costs of making the title.

Games are bloody expensive to make, very few of them recoup their cost on retail sales alone. A season pass is entirely optional for the player and gives both parties a mutually beneficial transaction. It's less of a gamble than buying a AAA title off the bat because you will have presumably put more than two hours into a demo at that point and you'll know if you want more of it.

Well in that case preach away, and uh good luck father ted.
Just don't expect your audience to all lap it up.

My shilling for EA is a self-deprecating joke, of course I don't shill for a company. I just don't have a problem with EA's recent change of face, enjoy the games they publish and that's that. But of course someone who doesn't see something through your eyes must be blind eh?

Do me a favour though would you?
If you are going to quote snip this post as well, don't bother replying. I'm not alt-tabbing for 10 minutes to read what you've posted and reply at the same time.

Meh. I fail to see how this is different to battlefield.

And all five BF4 DLCs have been fantastic.

It plays nothing like Battlefield.
