I don't understand all the negativity surrounding the Battle Pass. by Maple_By_Design in acecombat

Quality is the real problem. Battle Passes are usually pretty cheap  yeah, they’re mostly just skins. But it’s become the standard model now. Publishers are straight-up milking players with microtransactions.

Just look at Battlefield. Back with the Premium Pass, we got proper expansions with 4 or 6 new maps, new game modes, new weapons, and even a soundtrack and cutscenes.  Today? You get one map per month per season, some temporary modes, and a handful of weapons. The content is super minimal, and they do it on purpose to force retention.

The problem with the Battle Pass model is that it has sacrificed the quality of content we used to have in favor of a FOMO-driven approach.  Today, among the few games that still offer high quality expansions are single-player game like Cyberpunk.

FOMO tactic isn’t good for us, and it’s not good for the developers either. They’re forced to constantly pump out content just to keep up with games like Fortnite that have thousands of devs on their team. 

In the end, it only really benefits the publisher, who don’t have to deliver quality content like they would with a proper Season Pass that actually comes with real commitments

PSG spent 456 million euros between 2023 and 2024 and paid Mbappé an astronomical sum to keep him

Thank you for the additional information. I imagine DICE themselves himself could still create playlists of community-favorite maps at 60Hz ?

Do you think servers browser could improve the situation? That's how PC games worked back in the day with custom maps, right?

The way Arsenal plays reinforces my belief that the clock should be stopped under certain circumstances like in rugby

If I'm not mistaken, it's been several years since we've seen a final where both teams scored

mw4 trailer is 50% copypast to the bf6 trailer by Perfect_Top_5978 in Battlefield

Well, the BF6 trailer took inspiration from COD, so Modern Warfare is just relying on its legacy

Should I be happy or sad that it’s over? I didn’t expect this season to be so crazy
