Sounds like false advertising. A Season Pass is meant to include ALL DLC for the game.
Perhaps a lawyer might consider a world-wide class action suit.
I am surprised there is not a larger out cry from the gamining community for such behaviour.
Exactly. Why people always think Season pass is for ALL DLCs? It is called "Season" for a reason ... it is not "All DLC Pass". If you buy Season ticket for theatre or basketball matches, you won't get free entry for all plays forever. Especially it was very clean from the beginning what this pass will contain.
Because that's what season passes used to do but I'm surprised that anyone in 2018 hasn't realized the new way season passes work by now... (I'm not defending the practice just saying that this has been around awhile)
That is not too fair. People think all DLCs are part of season pass, because it was this case in history. However, that was not because of fairness of developers, but because they simply release most of the DLC shortly after release and then did not care about the game. In these days, there are games, which are supported for longer period of time and that is the reason why there is year 2, year 3 pass etc. But that is not because they set new restrictions on season passes, but because there was no year 2 or year 3 of the content earlier.
Any way Y2/Y3 is not case of Syndicate game, however as I stated earlier, only DLC which is not part of Season Pass is DLC, which was released for PC only because players was begging for it. It was not a plan, it was console exclusive DLC. I am not defending this practive, I don't like exclusive DLCs, but I am at least happy they do the favor to fans and let us buy it separetely instead of leaving it exclusive forever. Imho better option.
Does a season of a TV show contain every episode of the show? No, it contains a specific collection of episodes chosen by the producers/creators to be released in a specific order. Season passes for games are the same deal. It's a specific collection of DLC packs chosen by the developer/publisher.
Like let's be honest. A single game has more in common with a new season then it does as the entire show.
No. New game is new TV show. One game/TV show might have multiple season. Do you working for free? In your job, you are getting paid every month. Month is your job "season". What you are trying to say is that if your boss pays you once (for first month - season) he can expect your job for free forever. He would pay monthly fee again only when new employee (game) come. Would you be okey with that? Getting paid once and be expected to do anything since then for free? I hardly doubt.
If you look at the games themselves each new game = new tv show doesn't work whatsoever. Just look at the AC series. 1st season of AC where we follow Altair through desmond who is being held by abstergo. AC 2, 2nd season is out and Desmond has now escaped and is training to be an assassin through Ezio. AC Brotherhood, 3rd season we follow Desmond as he searches for the pieces of Eden through Ezio who rebuilds the brotherhood. Each game has multiple missions and things to do (episodes) to see what happens.
All they have to do is name the stuff in a clearer way but then it wouldn't really sound or look as nice to the consumer (Good marketing practice though but not very consumer friendly). It wasn't always that season meant season dlc, which is why some ppl are still confused but all I did was answer your question. You asked for why people are complaining. I answered where the logic came from since that was how it used to be.
PS yes I know how money works and you're really stretching for that analogy. Honestly, I don't mind companies trying to make as much money as possible. It's what they do. But then they shouldn't mind me trying to save as much money as possible, especially when I look at how lackluster a lot of games have made their dlc... So far the best dlc for the AC series has been in Origins and even that's the minimal of what they could've done. So far I've skipped over a lot of AC dlc/season passes cuz they're not really worth it ($13 CaD even on sale? I could buy an entire game for $13 CaD. Cough Cough AC Unity).
Yeah, nice point. I would pay a little extra for bringing this for PC without any thoughts it should be free.
