Holy wow, I had no idea it had got that bad! Pay a AAA price, then four battle passes in the first year alone?! Apparently I can't afford to be a hardcore FPS gamer anymore! Sheesh! Halo: Infinite's multiplayer being a free product, with (IIRC) a single battle pass that lasts the life of the product, is suddenly sounding pretty damn good in comparison to the competition!
Ah, thanks for the correction that the battle passes are quarterly for Infinite. I won't be purchasing them, I'm a campaign guy, so I was going based on a memory of something that I thought I'd heard somewhere. :)
You're right, the battle passes sound easy to skip on Infinite, so that's a win. Ah, the battle passes last indefinitely? That's probably what I'd heard, and I confused that with there only being a single one. :)
