DLCs have no price tags now
I was looking at buying scorched earth, and I've been monitoring the price for several days now. I checked about 5 minutes ago, and saw that there were no price tags on Ab, SE, and Ext. Now the only available buying option is though the season pass. Is this an issue or, the devs trying to squeeze more money out of me?

They no longer sell DLC's separately for ARK.
You either get the Season Pass which includes all the DLC's for that "Season" or you don't.

The Season Pass will not charge you for the DLCs you already own.
So if you already own say Aberration, it will "discount" the Season Pass the price of that DLC for you automatically.

All together the Season Pass winds up being cheaper than it were if you were to buy all of the Expansions separately anyway. (At least when you could still do that)

The problem with that is that Season Pass includes Genesis, which is worth roughly as much as the rest of the DLCs combined, which me and my friends don't care about. Our friend who doesn't have the game wants to play with us and I wanted to gift him ARK with Scorched Earth, Abberation and Extinction so he could play with us. But now I found out it's not possible to do that. I can't afford the bundle, because they want me to shell out an unplanned for extra 100 PLN for Genesis - an expansion which we aren't interested in playing anyway. It's a huge disappointment to see something this pricy shoved down our throats.

What are you talking about?

There are 2 Season Passes.
1 with SE, AB and EXT.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/21151/ARK_Survival_Evolved_Season_Pass/

1 with Genesis and Genesis 2.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1113410/ARK_Genesis_Season_Pass/

Don't confuse "Ultimate Bundle" with Season Passes.

Yes very much so in my opinion. I have spent almost 2000 hours in this game and I plan to push that over the 2k mark come the new expansion. Its a great game. Sure it is hard on lower end pcs but compared to when it first came out its much much more optimized.

Thank you so much for linking the page with the Ark Season Pass! For some reason, it isn't listed among the DLC's on the Steam page for me - only the Genesis one. This is very confusing. Also, it doesn't say how long the Ark Season Pass will be discounted for, so I have bought it now, just in case. Should we complain to Steam about this? After all, it's their responsibility to make sure all DLCs are listed properly.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
