Players express frustration with the introduction of a season pass, likening it to a battle pass that promotes a fear of missing out (FOMO) and time-gated content, which can lead to burnout. Many feel that such grinding mechanics detract from the enjoyment of the game, making it feel more like a chore than a fun experience, especially in a title that may not have a large player base.
- “The developers seem to be following trends by adding a season pass, which feels like a battle pass. This creates a fear of missing out (FOMO) and time-gated content that isn't fun and leads to burnout. After grinding for content, players often feel so exhausted that they don't want to play anymore, especially since this game doesn't seem to have a strong player base.”
