@Eeken02 Nope. The quantity of content that came with Premium Pass DLCs was always excellent, it's the locking of content and gamemodes behind a paywall that was terrible. Splitting up the playerbase like that is the dumbest thing that can be done for a games' survivability.

Sadly not everyone buys PP DLCs even though they were affordable, which is why more people always gravitated towards the free launch content, which resulted in previous games eventually dying because the good DLC content doesn't get populated enough and people just end up tiring of the launch content.

Haters can deny it all they want, but it's true. The facts are literally there.

Maybe do weapons/cosmetics behind the premium DLC but maps are still included as free and paid for by extra cosmetics/battlepass/whatever other garbage? Gives people something to do and strive for, but that is of course dependent on the maps still being 3-4 maps every few months instead of what we currently have.
