That's always an interesting rebuttal.
As if season passes are the one and only possible way to go, almost hardwired into our collective business perceptions.
They could also have developed and charged for every update individually in the shape of DLC.
You would still have had the same update frequency and the same content as it became available.
Only that you would have paid for it in increments after it was done, and not a year and a half in advance for the whole thing....and that's even assuming season 2 will conclude in june or thereabouts.
See, i like to see the folks who stand to reap the economic benefits to also be the ones who shoulder the economic risks.
To me that appears to be only fair.
What is a season pass, from an economical point of view ?
It's a loan, an interest free loan even. And one with no fixed due date.
Also with no repercussion for the loan taker, should it all come apart or fall short of what was announced.
The facts of the deal are that FD has your money, and all you have is your trust, hope and faith that this money will be matched by content.
And if that fails you don't even have any legal leverage.
Now you go and tell me who's got the better deal here.
Hint: It isn't you.
