Motorpass prevents me from getting back into the game.
This isn't a concrete problem moreso than it is a complaint about the services The Crew 2 offers, specifically how the Motorpass is a serious issue in player onboarding.
I've been compelled to play this game over the past month or so, but I can't bring myself to because of one major fact: I missed the first Motorpass due to a myriad of IRL problems, and I'm now locked out of content permanently. This extends to all modern live-service games of course, but Ubi has a feedback forum so here I am.
Being time-gated out of content is a huge problem in many ways:
- I am not going to dedicate a larger install size to semi-frequent, large updates for content I cannot use nor have the means to obtain; it's effectively bloat.
- I am demoralized that there is content that I cannot obtain in any way even if I wanted to pay for it.
- I am completely disincentivized to begin the grind (and by extension, pay for future Motorpasses) knowing I've already missed the boat, in addition to the fact I may still be missing content even if I did pay should I not complete the Motorpass in time.
I paid $40 for this game and have an excellent opportunity to buy the Season Pass at the time of writing since it's on sale, but knowing that I will never get my full money's worth prevents me from pulling the trigger. I feel the need to express that being locked out of previous Motorpass content is a wholly negative experience from the perspective of someone who's missed out, and I have reason to suspect this may become a much larger problem in the future (especially concerning new players) as the game fills with more and more inaccessible content.
