What do you think about the growing popularity of battle passes in modern games? Do you find them engaging and rewarding, or do they feel overwhelming and profit-driven? I'd love to hear your perspective on how they impact gameplay and the overall gaming experience for different types of players.

No matter how they try to sell the story, 99% of all video games developer's are in it for the money. It's in fact one of their core objectives. They only do well to add some benefits for gamers who use the battle passes. There's money to be made and they are never going to shy away from it.

I think the value proposition of battle passes varies wildly from game to game. Some offer a good amount of content for a reasonable price, making it feel like a worthwhile investment if you play the game regularly. Others feel like a blatant attempt to squeeze more money out of players, especially if the free track is underwhelming and the paid track is essential for unlocking meaningful content.
