For the love of all that is holy I will strangle whoever came up with the battle pass.
I don't see the problem with f2p games having them but it's a bit of a joke when a full price game has buyable battle passes
Kind of sucks when a franchise that wasn't previously f2p goes f2p and then introduces all these bullshit mechanics and are covered by the fact that it's f2p now.
Looking at you Overwatch
Halo too. Cool that it's free to play now but it was a lot better when you paid a full price and got a full game. Now everything is sold a la carte for way more than a full price game and it ruins the fun of unlocking things.
It's why I think Naraka is such a shame. When they did the free weekend when the game first released. I had a blast trying the game out.
The game was basically fortnite without guns and focused more on the bladed weapon combat. But the charged for the game as well has micro transactions on top of having battle pass.
So I didn't get the game, despite playing a good 25+ hours over a 3 day free weekend.
They were too greedy with their push for profit and that speaks volume to me as a player.
Game is free now and I no longer have an interest in it anymore
