So, does that mean you would buy a season pass? Because a season pass for certain games will sell with the game. So, it's kind of like raising the price of the game, like you said. As far as my logic there goes, sort of. It does mean they're offering the option to buy the whole game up-front, but they're still painting it as being some sort of premium bonus instead of just being the intact game. Season passes also run into the issue that they're often effectively a pre-order for content that hasn't been previewed at all, which turns me off of them. That said, I have bought season passes when I had reason to trust that they'd be worthwhile. -For Borderlands 2, I was sufficiently impressed with the DLC for the first game that I trusted the new stuff would be good and went for the season pass (at that point, I believe only the first two campaigns were out) -For MK8, adding another 50% of the game's tracks for only $12 was guaranteed to be a good deal if the tracks were any decent, and given the track record (heh) they established with the ones already in the game, I was willing to make that gamble. -For Hyrule Warriors, I bought the season pass when the first two packs were out, knowing that even just the Adventure Mode maps they were adding were a massive amount of additional content, and it'd be worthwhile. Those are the only examples I can think of. I considered the one for Xenoblade 2, especially once more of the content had come out and it was seeming worthwhile, but now that it's all been released (and looks very worthwhile) it's not really a gamble anymore. I'll probably buy that at some point. Mostly, it just boils down to whether or not I feel I can trust that the season pass will be worth the money. Usually, it's too much of a gamble. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. <cite>adjl posted [p:909419365] in Your thoug...
