The only real problem IMO
The real problem—the fundamental and inescapable problem—is that you can't simply buy a fucking game these days (at least, not a AAA game). Instead, you have to to navigate a warren of pre-purchase bribes, day-one DLCs, timed release DLCs, season passes, combo packs, etc.
Do you know what a season pass is?
It's pre-purchasing DLC en masse. That's not a real problem, eh? Yes, you can buy the season pass later after all of the content is released, and they still call it a season pass, but at that point it's just a bundle deal. If you just buy each DLC as it's released, you will be penalized for it financially.
But yeah, the only real problem is that they offered a poor man's version of the season pass.
I guess the silver lining here is that I only have to deal with this bullshit every once in a while, because >95% of AAA games aren't worth playing. If you're wondering why I'm being so dramatic, that's because I go years between actually buying and playing AAA games, and I still haven't learned to swallow this bullshit with a smile.
