I bought Fallout: New Vegas on Day One and loved it. I spent a lot of time exploring everything. When the first DLC was announced, it was just perfect timing and I was ready to jump right back in with the game fresh in my imagination ...
... except that it was an Xbox timed exclusive. Not even a MICROSOFT time exclusive, as even we PC players had to wait.
I was so pissed that I swore not to buy it at full price. I didn't, either, as I ended up buying ALL the major New Vegas DLC later on during a Steam Christmas sale for like $3 each. I even got a pack that added a bunch of new weapons, the kind of thing I never buy, for like $.75. It had been long enough that I was able to enjoy starting over from the beginning, as well.
Now, in complete contrast, we have Fallout 4.
I had no intention of buying the Season Pass. I like to pick and choose my DLC, so I've always avoided that route. In fact, I think it's mostly people's own fault when they buy a Season Pass and then complain about it later. Purchasing something sight unseen is a sucker's bet.
However, Bethesda came out later and said that they would soon be raising the price for the Season Pass because they ended up creating more than planned. Though prepared for disappointment, I bought the Season Pass at the cheaper price. Turned out to be a great decision and worth every penny, as Bethesda produced some of the best DLC I've ever played.
