@eyesnore I have always thought it likely that they would sell more than twice as much if things were half the price. I know we don't need these things, but they shove them in our faces with events and it's only natural to feel that you are missing out sometimes.
I buy the season passes mainly because I enjoy having objectives to work towards and the game does tend to lose a little appeal for me once I have finished a season off a few weeks before the end. I am still annoyed that EA decided to remove the "free" season passes from the Origin subscription as it is but I don't really mind having to throw £10 their way for this game a couple of times a year but that already means I have paid for this game several times over already.
I have my eye on the re-release of a pretty cool Caustic skin coming next week but I will resent having to buy 2000 coins to get one skin.
The only time I really feel I am missing out is with the Halloween stuff because there are often some really cool skins but I will generally only have one or two rolls of the dice and see what I get with those because its just too much money in my opinion.
