Enter-author-nameIf you're sufficiently amped for Batman: Arkham Knight , you're gonna want the DLC Pass.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Rocksteady have announced the Season Pass for the upcoming action title.
As originally revealed on Twitter , the Arkham Knight DLC Pass will provide fans with new content for six months after the game releases. This will include "story missions, supervillains, and more." Then, in a press release, we find extra details: Batmobile skins, advanced challenge maps, and new racetracks.
The Season Pass will run you $50 but if you want to be extra ambitious, you can spring for the Premium Edition, which will include the Season Pass and a bunch of other goodies for $100. Batman: Arkham Knight will hit store shelves on June 23 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

$50? Jeesh. Does that include the next sequel's worth of content?
It seems wrong when DLC is approaching the price of the original full game.

After three awesome games (this being the third) I think RS deserves it. Specially with this being their last Batman game.
RS like any dev will always have to earn my DLC money. Because DLC in general feels derivative and tacked on to the core of most any full game offering. Hence why it seems wrong that tacked on content is approaching full game price range.
I feel this isn't as much about RS as it is the publisher who, like most any, always looks for ways to maximize a return on an investment.
People clearly keep buying into this stuff because publishers are continuing to offer it, asking more and more each time. It just makes you wonder where this rabbit hole will have us 10 years from now.
Edit: oh and open world design just makes it so tempting to ask money from people in the melting pot of disjointed game design. Just keep tossing stuff into it until people stop coming back for more. Who cares how bloated the whole of it becomes.
Edit2: it sort of bugs me in gaming that everyone always freaks out about a game being too short but rarely that it's too long. Sometimes a game doesn't have the game play legs to carry it for dozens and dozens of hours. More shouldn't always be better but many gamers seem to think that it does.
End of rant

Be honest here people. Doesn't this somehow feel wrong? That's almost double the price of the game. Shouldn't I now expect almost the same amount of content as the main game? Is it wrong of me to even question this? Would I be bludgeoned with accusations of being cheap? Are gamers susceptible to the obvious udder-squeezing tactics of companies when it comes to their favorite franchises? Does this mean the price of milk will now rise? Tune in next time for the answers to these questions, same bat-time, same bat-channel.
This it's a scam ironically if Batman was real he probably would whoop this peoples asses.
Who ever wrote this since it says Enter Author Name got the price wrong i just read on another site that said the season pass was 39.99$ not 50$ some needs to check there sources.
Could the author have been Batman who didn't want to reveal his true identity?
Lame sauce humor, I know

So DLC pass is a new way of business now?
I think it's time for some of you to find another hobby or be happy with the original content you purchase.
If you consider how good the previous Batman games are and how the DLC is optional, there really shouldn't be a problem.
an extra 50 bucks thats steep man but yeah DLC pass was always going to come but its still a hard and bitter pill to swallow
happy gaming
