The Battle Passes are one of the best things about the overall “live service” design in Infinite so far. Not perfect, certainly, but the S1 pass was pretty decent value for money IMO (especially compared to the exorbitant shop prices), and the S2 BP looks like a big improvement even from that.
I’m in favor of supporting one of the only things this game is doing right when it comes to the monetization and player engagement side of things.
I really wish I had nothing better to do than just be upset at a game franchise, I have no control over or have ever worked in, just to post angry rants on their forums. You got quite the life!
This wasn’t their original business plan which is why it doesn’t really make sense. I think they’re pivoting to a more store focused business plan. I’m sure it will expand further once a progression system is incorporated into the game, along with the Certain Affinity mode and campaign DLC.
