Reader Discussion: Let’s Chat About Season Passes
Just a little while ago, Warner Bros. and Monolith announced a season pass for Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor. If you haven’t yet read that story, it might be worth checking it out for context.
Since the advent of the season pass, we’ve seen the concept applied in different ways. L.A. Noire added new cases (story missions), Mortal Kombat introduced four new characters at a discounted price, and more recently, we’ve seen the bundling of story and multiplayer content with cosmetics to round out experiences.
Some of the season passes have delivered solid value. Others have been criticized for protracted development and delivery or simply underwhelming content.
We want to take your pulse on season passes. Do you buy them? If so, at what point do you usually buy? Which season passes have been most satisfying for you? Are there any that you regret purchasing?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
