Lovely 'Season Pass' goodness: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...pass-announced

I hate all this DLC ****. Season Pass my arse! It's just another way to rip off gullible idiots in to thinking they're getting some great deal when the truth is, 10 years ago this stuff would have been part of the game for free (included as part of the main game). I still want this game but the DLC can get lost.

I love you!

It makes my blood boil and no amount of share buttons will convince me to upgrade to next generation if this ends up being the norm. Grrr.

"Buying the Season Pass will also get you access to the Early Bird Special Pack - a collection of extra in-game gubbins such as gun upgrades, gold skins, plus health and shield upgrades."

Pay money to make the games even less challenging than they already are! Yay! I'm waiting the DLC that gets you max Gamer Score and shows you the ending right after you start the game, good times! Seriously, what kind of moron buys these?

[cutmymilk]

Not buying the game now until it is worth 3p like Bioshock 2. The backlash has been pretty massive for this news!

[Golgo]

Yup, wake me up when the GOTY's out...

[Dogg Thang]

Season pass? Seriously? I can understand it for a small indie episodic game perhaps or a game that is evenly divided into narrative sections with a small price tag for each one. But Bioshock? Somewhat taking the piss, I think...

Was in a game shop today that had SNES games, Megadrive games, Gameboy games. You know, games that you paid for and got the whole thing. Those days were awesome. They really were.

Are there any other hobbies where this kind of thing is accepted behaviour?

I went to the cinema in London once and they wanted more money to sit in the middle, but they didn't leave parts out if you chose not to.

It feels like ordering a mixed grill and only getting Gammon steak and rump steak.

The chef has already cooked lamb chops, pork steak and Lincolnshire pork sausages, but wants to charge you extra for those. Each meat add-on is extra.

You can enhance the meal experience with the chips and peas pack, the tomato and mushroom pack or the egg and six onion rings pack. All available separately.

Or you could could buy the "seasoning pass" that grants you a discount on all the above options at a reduced price with a bonus of salt and pepper.

All of these things should have been on the plate in the first place.

If I want the pudding pack or coffee add-on, I'm happy to pay for them, but they enhance the meal experience, they were never intended to be included in the main event. They're add-ons, not things taken away to be charged for later!

^ lol! Greatest extended analogy ever! I'm giving that Two Thumbs Fresh!

Remember the horse armour furore?

At what point did this become not only commonplace, but acceptable?
