[Diablo 4] Who actually likes Battle Passes in games? (lemmy.sysctl.io)

Title.

I've never purchased a battle pass. They've always been a detractor to me. In any game I've played. I just can't bring myself to spend $10 here, $15 here , oo shiny skin $25 here, on top of paying $70 for the base game.

I wouldn’t mind them in games if they’re really pumping new free content on a regular basis. I get the trade off. Regular new quality content and money coming in allows them to keep a solid team for it.

Why I hate them though and never buy them is the timed garbage. It’s predatory. I’d be fine if you could buy and pass that’s ever came out and complete them at your own pace. Like hey I love the stuff they’ve been adding to a game. Here’s a tip and for the donation I get some cosmetics with some goals to work towards at my own pace. The timing aspect of them is some psychological bullshit to boost their viewership and stress you out so you just outright buy $20 shit from the cash shop. I don’t obsessively play a single game so they’re meaningless to me.
