I sense a great disturbance is the force!

Don't like how the season pass costs $50? Don't buy it. Just wait for the DLC packs to come out and decide on an individual basis on whether any specific DLC pack is worth owning. All a season pass is is basically pre-buying all the DLC, sometimes at a discount (e.g., buying all four DLC packs for CoD:AW costs $60 vs. $50 for the season pass). Hell, I bought the season pass for Halo 4 (rather, I bought the special edition that included the season pass) because I knew I was going to be getting all the map packs anyway.

I'm sure most people are aware of what a season pass is. The problem seems to be the amount they charge for the DLC while shipping us a much less complete game compared to it's prequel. This time there's no single player campaign, Galactic Conquest or Epic Star Battles, among other things.
Some of those things may be sold to us in DLC form instead. I haven't looked into it so I'm not sure. But here's a checklist to compare.

While "don't buy it" is the right approach if you want to make a statement, or simply find it too pricey, that doesn't mean there's never any room for criticism in how publishers chose to price and market their game. And with popular franchises like this, chances are the people who try to get their voices heard by holding off on buying it might hardly get noticed if a huge amount of people still buy it. Which signals these companies that it's ok to cut up and sell a game to us in bits and pieces, and encourages them to push the boundries even further to see how much they can get away with.

That first picture with the table comparison says it all. So peed off right now (might also be due to not having eaten and being on a 3.5hr train journey to a place called Rochdale).

 

We need a hashtag to make this a thing with all overpriced dlc. Where are the bloody activists?!
