Allegedly, studios "hope" Rockstar will raise the price of its upcoming title to set a precedent.

I do think fighting games are a special case because the DLC is so obvious that the seasonal microtransaction stuff is not as much of a focus.

But hey, SF6 did add a battlepass, so… it’s moving in that direction. We’ll see.

Yeah, I have a love(like… tolerate)/hate relationship with the battle pass. I don’t mind it, cause it is cheap, pointless and you get your money back, and it is super easy to complete it.

But also, it can fuck off, battle passes suck in their timed implementation, it is pointless, you have to get premium currency to get it which is obviously not purchasable at the exact amount.

Only thing I think was good is that it bought in the emulated game catalogue.
