Dota 2 is moving away from the battle pass model as Valve says there are better uses of dev time and most players 'never buy' one anyway (www.pcgamer.com)

The studio is shifting away from battle passes to release more varied content at a more regular pace.

Good on them. Now if everyone else would get on board with this. Fomo pay to win battle passes are why I quit games rather than why I stay. One of the worst modern inventions for gaming since lootboxes.

I actually like them when there isn't a time limit. Chivalry 2's battle-pass-thing is nice for that reason. It's just something i can throw on while i play normally with no grind

Halo does this very nicely. You can buy either the current battlepass or any other battlepass that's been sold so far.
