I hear you @ThaDruSta ,
And actually also myself tending just to dole out the cash for like a Premium experience and access! Just once and getting it over with, so I can enjoy the gameplay and exploration of this new world in peace without having to bother with more monetary transactions.
From the last 3 investor meetings EA have hosted, it does however tend towards a new business model for EA across all their game franchises and platforms. EA appear intend to transform their model from players purchasing licenses to instead having us pay for live gaming as a service.

So expect actually these BF2042 season passes is the first we will see of that kind in the BF world, as expect that we will have to keep buying these going forward on regular intervals as some sort of 'subscription fee' to play the game.
- @CyberDyme I'm Glad to see there are others that feel the same way. Also yes I was certainly fearing for 2042 as well. This game is gonna be too good for things like that!
- @CyberDyme If it becomes a paid subscription service, I will stop playing. To be honest, I'm doing a cost-benefit analysis of gaming, in general, and I'm on the fence going forward. Many things that I don't care much for are becoming a regular part of gaming, these days. I will be saddened, for a little while, but it won't kill me to stop playing.
- @ChugKendall You misunderstood his post.
It's not a paid subscription just to play the game. The paid Season Passes are mainly just cosmetics while the stuff that effects gameplay such as New Maps and New Weapons will be FREE for everyone who owns the game itself.

And no point in buying passes. I also misunderstood what I was reading.
