@LukeAlmighty at least you know for a fact what you are getting ahead of time so you can make an informed decision on whether to buy it or not.

The problem I have with battle pass is, that it makes you game into a job. And I mean serious 9-5 with idiot manager.
Lootboxes on the other hand is a random reward you get once in a while. So, that's nice.

The only free game I have ever conidered buying was Star trek online. (sadly, back then I didn't have the income to support it, and now, it is a dead franchise.)
But that game did contain a lifetime purchuse. And that is something I can respect. Because I seriously cannot immagine buying premium currency, that will be worthless in a week.
