Thread inspiration came from playing red dead online and seeing that this dead ass mode even had a tiered battle pass feature. 
So I just want to know what you dudes prefer in terms of scummy money grabbing practices by these pubs
Battle Passes-
Pros: Usually cheaper than regular season passes. Can be paid for continuously if you consistently complete them. Usually has a free and premium track so all players get rewarded
Cons: Usually time based so if you can’t play all day it’s pointless. Sometimes can be grindy because some devs limit the amount of points earned to move up. Free tiers are usually garbage and spaced out
Season passes-
Pros: Access to exclusive and new content(applies more to Single player game) Once you purchase content you own it(MP games) Don’t have to worry about grinding or missing out on content once a battle pass or season ends
Cons: Expensive. Usually splits player bases in MP games to the point it may not even be worth purchasing especially if said game has flopped.
Loot boxes:
Pros- uhhh you like gambling? Makes content like future maps/characters/weapons/etc free
Cons- Crap predatory practice that promotes gambling and general overspending. Duplicates reward enabled to promote more spending. Government investigation and crackdowns
