Why is everyone so upset about SWBF's $50 season pass?

I don't understand why so many people are upset about this. Let me explain why. So for the past couple of installments, Call of Duty's season pass has been $50 with about four map packs each. Also, Battlefield's premium has been $40-$50 and the most recent Battlefield Hardline's premium has been $60. So what's with the sudden uproar about SWBF's season pass? This has been going on for a while now and I don't understand why people are bitching about THIS season pass in particular. If anyone can offer any insight, I'd be glad to hear it. Thank you for your time.

    • I'm not, anybody who plays battlefield knows this is how Dice always does. People are just entitled these days.

      • Because people are sick and tired of being sold incomplete games and being charged to complete it. I'm down for doc, but when its pre-planned it gives me a feeling that the product isn't finished. The more they see their profits go down because of this sales practice then maybe we can see full complete games in the market again.

        • I'll go to season passes I've bought. -Destiny Season pass, $40 fot shitty content -Halo 4, i believe $20 for maps i rarely played -Gears 3 $25 for 3 map packs (one was in a way free) and a great 2-3 hour story add on -battlefield 3 and 4, got them all at a discount price, I'll never spend over $40 for a pass -Borderlands 2, 4 dlcs for $30, I'd say this was the best past imo

        • It will split this community that will already be dying by the time the first expansion/ map pack comes out. The game is fun and it brings up happy memories of Star Wars but it was wearing off by the time the Beta ended.

          • Well they said they wanted this to be a more casual game for Star Wars fans, then they give us a $50 season pass like every other hardcore FPS. Lol they use different excuses based on what benefits them more... Kinda the definition of EA.

            Because these are the BUNGIE forums where the gamers are entitled brats. Oh yeah, and given the chance to complain about EA or DICE, well some can not help themselves.

          • A $50 season pass for a game that has mp only(no campaign), no. Game should be 24.99 Season pass 24.99

              • I don't play the games you mentioned so the price point was shocking. And a little crazy. Then again I've been throwing money at Destiny since Day 1 so it's not like I haven't spent that much (and more) on extra content.

                  • It just bothers me that they already have the dlc laid out, like seriously, the full game plus any future dlc would probably still just be $60 worth of content if it all came out in release day.

                      • People of a certain age have zero issue throwing money at the screen for classic Star Wars. Its a shrewd, shrewd move. Imagine the uproar if Jar Jar playable hero is part of the season pass though.

                          • Probably because certain games like Halo 5 and Rainbow 6 Siege will have microtransaction to fund for free DLC maps. While games like Battlefront and CoD BO3 will have microtransaction with paid DLC.

                            • Id rather them announce the dlc beforehand sell season passes than have the devs pretend that they weren't planning it all along.

                              • Just because it's been going on for a while doesn't make it right. It's still terrible and shouldn't exist.

                                • Because those are the people that like jumping to conclusions, same people that name a game game of the year before it's even released.

                                • The game will die just as fast as Hardline did. EA's only hope is BF5 next year unless they f u c k it up again like they did with BF4.

                                    • People are mistaken in believing that DICE owes them the DLC content as part of the game. The DLC likely is not finished yet, and even if it is, it should be sold separately. People are claiming that the base game of content is not worth $60, which is ridiculous. Not only have they not yet announced everything included in the base game, the amount of content is "worth" far more than $60. The rights they have to pay Disney and normal production costs have to be made up somehow. All of that is objective, my subjective stance on the situation is that people need to stop being entitled bitches.
