They plan to release the DLCs intended for the Season Pass within the first year after The Divisions release. What you have quoted there is simply a fancy way of saying exactly that.
Fallout 4s season pass does exactly the same thing iirc.
There are games out there whose Season Pass covers all upcoming content of said games - and it's not restricted to year one DLCs. Nevertheless, The Division's Season Pass covers the 1st Year's DLCs only, as they say on their website.
This. That's the industry norm and standard. I've never seen them only cover one year and I played many Ubisoft games. A Season Pass usually covers all upcoming DLC.
Okay let's completely ignore whats industry standard or what players expect from a Season Pass and think about it from a business point of view because i think thats the important thing here.
IF The Division suceeds - and for the sake of this argument i will assume it does - then Ubisoft has already said they will support and expand it over a longer period of time which equals to several years, until a sequel will ultimately be released.
Now under that assumption we can easily assume a number of anything between 6-9 content DLCs depending on their development plan. Now they would obviously not sell that amount of content for 30 bucks, the price the season pass is currently sold at.
So basically if the Season Pass were to contain every future update it would come at a tremendous price tag since we all know Ubisoft is a company and not necessarly the most generous one we will definitely need to pay for that content.
To avoid such a price tag and make the development plan more flexible they have simply "limited" the Pass to one year worth of expansion which will probably equal to something around 3 content updates.
I stopped here because assumptions are like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... everyone has one and they stink. That said, to play that silly game... let's assume that like every other game, every other developer, The Division 2 comes out in 2 or 3 years (which some franchises seem to do yearly). They basically say, "Well your DLC pass expired... so just buy our next $60 with it's $40 season pass" and rinse and repeat every other year. That's garbage.
A pass is supposed to grant you access to all upcoming DLC... not necessarily EXPANSIONS which are treated different than DLC and sequels.
Look at Battlefield... they released 3 then 4 rather quick following behind it. Not something I liked seeing, but they offered a Premium season pass. That granted EVERYthing they had to offer for that title. The same again for BF4... with no silly expiration date.
That's poor business.
Actually according to the wikipedia page as well as the Word index a Seassion is exactly that 1 seassion.
and I remember a couple of games where a Seassion pass only does that.. covers a seassion.
Actually I do not remember one Game that has a Lifetime seassion pass cuz.. wouldn't that be a lifetime seassion pass?
I only remember some games saying *This is a seassion pass for multible seassions*
So I am a bit confused.. Industry standart? Isn't that like 1 Seassion 1 pass? next Seassion next pass?
At leats that is really a standart in the real world too if you go so far as ordering a seassion pass for logistic transport it will cost you an estamated amount of dollars and you get free delivery for 1 seassion.. or.. am I wrong? I am not sure anymore
Generally, expansion passes and season passes are two separate things, and while its within the purview of the developer to decide what that means for their game, its generally meant to imply that a season's worth of content is roughly for a year.
Games such as Elite (Space Sim) sell their expansions as seasons, while other games sell their content as "Seasons". In the end its just another way to market content to be delivered slowly over time. Games like Witcher 3 have expansion passes and still give DLC content away between expansions for free.
Things to keep in mind are:
1. The developer ultimately defines the length of time that a season or expansion lasts.
2. Buying into any season or expansion pass means that you are giving your money to the developer on a promise of future content. It is a demonstration of faith in their ability to deliver on their promises.
3. Always read the fine print before making a purchase, and talk with the developer before making a purchase if you have any questions. As we've discovered with some of our conversations with Ubi Support earlier, certain things that are unclear are worth asking them about. Don't believe everything you read on the internet from unofficial sources.
Well then that should only cover 3 months worth of DLC. Let's not act silly guys... a "Season Pass" has nothing to do with a length of time or period of the year.
