Is there a deeper meaning behind Season passes?

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
Perhaps the cost of making games and paying workers is rising, but they don't want to charge $80-$100. Instead they take minor to significant junks and re-sell it as DLC as an incentive to give them what the game's true retail price would be?

It just doesn't feel like Season passes are going away.

....that's not a secret. It's been the case for a while. Although I can't remember the last season pass I bought. It's been years.

There's no deep meaning to them besides the developer or publisher being greedy. Unless the game is complete shit or is some underground game the game is going to bank. GTA 5 banked over a billion in two days and that game still has microtransactions just out of greed.

Why is this so black?
This reminds me how I bugged the shit out of my dad to get him to buy every map pack for Halo 3 when they came out.
I was and still am a shill for Bungie.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
The average AAA game has costed $45 million for years now. That sounds like a lot until you realize they only need to sell 2.5 million copies to profit. So EA games wanting to sell 5 million copies per entry in a franchise or else it gets canned? That's so they can make 200% in revenue per product.

The last season pass I bought was for TellTale's GoT. It's cheaper that way.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
They arent as long as casual idiots still buy them.

It was the same thing for me when I was a teenager. Dad, I need your credit card for a map pack!!

Gamers would rather feel like they're buying an equivalent portion of the game than pay $90 for the whole game at once.

Those Shark Cards apparently made all the DLC for GTA V for free according to R*.

I neither fear, nor despise.
It's just annoying how all you see nowadays are "buy the season pass" for literally 99% of games. And it makes the quality of the original game drop like a brick because they just cut content.

To be fair, all GTA V DLC is free. Decent amount of stuff has been added, not including the temporary holiday/seasonal stuff. I'm okay with a few 9 year olds stealing mommys credit card if it means free DLC.
