@ArchAngeL-PCX It's not that, it's the large number of cheap players that would still never buy them even if they were $1 each, resulting in most players only playing the same 6-8 remastered launch maps over and over (a sad pattern that's also seen in BF1 and 4 servers).
Premium Pass may have "guaranteed" more content, but you divide it all up behind paywalls and it's really just an illusion that slowly kills the content players payed extra for, which is why there's sadly always more base map servers than anything else. Maps and game modes are the life of games; if players pay the price of the game all maps and modes should be available to them at all times.
Premium Pass only works in an ideal world where everyone who buys a Battlefield game also buys Premium, but that's just never gonna happen. And I'm so glad gaming companies have moved on from restricting maps and modes. Keep further costs exclusively for cosmetics / unique cosmetics only, as long as said cosmetics don't do things like hide from night vision, etc.
