I NEVER buy Season Passes- Never. It was a rule I always stood by. Why?
1. You often don`t know what you`re going to get.
2. Even when they say what you`re going to get, you`re not actually sure you will.
3. It`s a lot of money for not being certain what you`ll get.
4 You don`t get the respect that a consumer would have got with any other kind of a product. It`s like, "We got the money, they`re gamers so who cares?"
5. Be wary of anyone that sells the Beta of something you`ve already paid ahead for and won`t let you take part unless you pay.
I broke my rule.
If I were you I would do some math:
Playing time in hours / money spent for game = leet factor
Low factor = money spent well
High factor = waste of money
My example:
1 cinema ticket + beer / popcorn for a 2 hour movie = 30 € / 2 = 15 €
lifetime pass/premium beta for elite (150 €) and 25+ ingame weeks (4200 hours)= 0,035 ct
There you go.
