Imagine all the people who bought A:CM season pass.

It's almost like pre-ordering things is a bad idea.

You are not entitled to anything but what you payed for. Season passes usually tell you upfront what you're paying for in their description/store page.
(e.g. "Grab the Borderlands 2 Season Pass and get access to four downloadable content packs for Borderlands 2 at one discounted price")
People shouldn't cry so much when they are too lazy and/or stupid to actually look at what they're buying.

Agree with this pretty much. Also, people need to quit buying games from companies that they know are going to leave core gameplay out so as to sell dlc on day one. Don't like it? Don't buy it.
That said, I am not against all day one dlc. I think some companies that offer day one dlc have in fact already offered a complete base game experience.

I think this is a bit different than the complaints about people who Pre-Ordered SimCity.
In this case the complaint isn't that hey I'm not getting this DLC and I bought the Season Pass. It's the idea that the Season Pass was promoted as a way to pay once and get all the DLC and now companies are just pumping out five DLCs for the pass and then adding stuff on top of that to get around this expectation. It's annoying. Like the way Pre-Order rewards are now mostly intangible DLC that most of the time you can get anyway.

the latest Borderlands 2 DLC, which cost £8 ($12 i believe to the US) took a whole 2 hours to finish.
I mean. what the fuck? those who work on a principle that you spend $1 per hour on games to make it worth while? it's physically not possible to do!

That short? Damn....thought those were suppose to be like 5-10+ hours each.

Until enough people are sufficiently dissatisfied to vote against DLC/season passes with their wallets nothing will change. Even if this does happen, chances are that the unexpectedly low sales will be attributed to piracy...
Most of the time, gamers get the business models they deserve. If enough gamers keep buying up these DLC packs and season passes, why wouldn't the corporations selling them release more and more of them? I hate this practice as much as the next guy, but a few forum mutterings and some bellicose feet-stamping on Facebook/Twitter are going to do very little to discourage the trend. Until people are upset enough to change their purchasing habits, rather than carping about the products, but buying anyway, we shouldn't expect anything other than a proliferation of post-release paid-for add-ons.
Lube up and bend over, gamers.

I won't buy season passes / day 1 DLC unless it's a game that I'm super into. Like Bioshock Infinite, or Metro: Last Light (nothing for that yet, I'm just saying, if they release it I'll probably buy it). But those are two of my favorite video game series of all time, so I'm willing to splurge a little to get a full experience and support a series / developers I love. Not many other games I'd do that for though.

As if season pass weren't bad enough trying to suck more money out of us, it seems the new trend is to make DLC and not even put it in the season pass.
Games that come to my mind this moment.
-Borderlands 2
-Darksiders 2
And now recently Black OPs 2(They added Micro transactions.)
Why must publishers keep doing this...
I wonder what the next bullshit next scam will be...
