I mean, come on, they don't even give you enough currency from the pass to buy the next one. Rocket League does it, CoD does it, Red Dead Redemption did it and neither those companies suffered damage to their bottom line.

But no, ActiGreed cannot show any kind of goodwill towards their players

I'm going to disagree. The price of the battlepass is negligible over the three months that it runs for. There should be no expectation that investing a huge amount of time into the game should effectively mean you can receive free updates and content for the rest of the game's existence.

In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to realise that there is nothing worthwhile in the battle pass, so I just haven't bought it. If you think the content inside is worth the money, then buy it. I can't understand this attitude of wanting everything in the battle pass but wanting it for free (or at least a single small payment up front).

Yep. As they'd said repeatedly, the premium battlepass is just extra cosmetics. You get armour/weapon skins, emotes, titles, horse stuff. Nothing that affects the gameplay at all. The smoldering ashes that have gameplay effects are all available on the battlepass for free without the premium unlock.

The only way the premium battlepass is "worth it" is if you really like buying useless cosmetics. Not my thing, but I figure some people enjoy it.
