Mr_Karate_II 12/10/21 6:02:58 PM #1:	Take Call of Duty Cold War for example, since Vanguard came out the battlepass for Cold War isn't available anymore yet there's still an option to buy it in Cold War. If there's no content for Cold War then why even make it available for purchase? So glad I didn't pay for the battlepass when I bought the game, came with a free battlepass. Anyway, battlepasses need to fucking go especially for paid games. --- Currently Playing: Dead by Daylight,Friday the 13th and Forza Horizon 5 <cite>Mr_Karate_II posted [p:960803417] in Battlepass...

Gobstoppers12 12/10/21 7:16:55 PM #18:	A good battle pass only needs to be purchased once, and then pays back the cost to fund the next battle pass if you complete it. Obviously, this only applies to people who play a given game for a considerably lengthy period of time.
