Battle pass....😂😂😂
Look I've tried real *******ed hard to support y'all on what a lot of folks on here thought were truly boneheaded decisions but this really takes the cake.
Ya know if I were a video game developer and I had an already upcoming franchise title announced releasing in less than a year I sure as hell wouldn't be trying to alienate a huge portion of my playerbase right before release.
That's like a presidential candidate saying he's pro-second Amendment and then right before the election he says he's going to ban guns....
I saw this coming from a mile away but I was hoping y'all wouldnt be insane enough to do it.
Ya know some of us have to buy diapers and pay light bills and gas to get to work before we have endless dollars of downloadable content shoved down our throats
I'm truly disgusted right now because it isn't bad enough that's some of us have already shelled out hundreds of dollars on other cosmetics over 4 years now even more..
I'm not even going to talk about the rest of it
I believe the battlepass in the upcoming update will be free, then the season after that it will be a 2 tier battlepass with on of the tiers being free. Honestly, if the content in the battlepass is cool then it might actually be a good move because it will give you something to work towards in the game.
Here's the thing though.. It won't beOriginally Posted by WhackyClock Go to original post
We've got player skin packs in this game costing $12 USD and that's outrageous for any digital item whatsoever.
They are doing the same Battlefield model that EAs done for years and if this game makes it another 3 years you'll start seeing crap like "premium matchmaking" or "priority server slots" slowly be snuck into the game.
Battle Royal incoming I'm sure.
We're adding more paid content instead of addressing major issues that are plaguing the game right now.
I'm not really trying to slam the devs because this isn't their doing it's the suits at the top responsible for this bullshart.
IDK... I'm old... Irritable and just very disappointed at the state of the gaming industry currently but I guess that's what happens I'm sounding like one of those baby boomers *****ing about having to get a digital converter box for their televisions.
Pulu they've made a literal fortune off of it and profits do nothing but continue to go up year after year it's by far their biggest success in years and probably their biggest title currently generating revenue.Originally Posted by Pulu. Go to original post
My thing is while profits go up we continue to see issues still plaguing this game that should have been solved 2 years ago.
How many hundreds of millions did it take to fix matchmaking and these bugs.
Yes they continue to support the game through patches but not enough is being done
Like if you dont have the money... just dont buy cosmetics which dont impact gameplay. You only need the base game for the full experience. Hell the battle pass even has some items for everyone.Originally Posted by Raytheon... Go to original post
Not sure where all the hate comes from but its really unreasonable.
Right Ok, tell me they need to make money of a game that as of March 2018 hit over 30million players https://www.shacknews.com/article/10...yers-milestoneOriginally Posted by Pulu. Go to original post
Sorry bud but they have already earned enough money with this 4 year old game........ even if we go of the cheapest discounts that are available (£10) that means they have earned minimum £300 million of the franchise alone (excluding) cosmetics/R6 Credits etc.
They have already earned way more than enough of this game, what a battle pass shows is simple. numbers are declining and they are trying to keep revenue high.
Noticed how after the 20 million player announcement back in 2017 then only 8 months later they announced 30 million players registered but what has happened since then....... no news on player count which tells me its in decline hence the heavy microtransaction scheme.
Sorry but this is why a Battle Pass has made its way into a game that is not F2P and has a Season Pass along side it, they need every bit of money they can get now on a game in decline.
Ubisoft is not even in top 10 in highest game companies in world. If you look revenue.Originally Posted by Boris_HY Go to original post

Its not that cheap to keep game going. You have to rent servers, keep employes etc and ubisoft is not THAT big company if you compare to EA, Activision blizzar etc.
Atleast ubi doesent make new siege every year and sold loot boxes and keep all dlc behind paywall.
I dont say ubis choice to put battlepass is a super good thing but i dont see how that affect to gameplay, it doesent affect in anyway they are just skins. If that battlepass keeps this game going im just happy that the make it.
There is no other competive shooter that has been updated this much, i dont know if there has been ever. They could make siege 2 but they decide to support and update siege still after almost five years. Stil every single DLC is free and you cant still buy even alpha packs with money.
