We have supported this game since early access. PUBG has made over $730 million dollars. Yet, it's still not optimized, cheaters are rampant, crates are locked behind keys. Even after charging $30 for the game, they now introduce this $9.99 Event Pass.

They promised us no DLC but while the maps are free, missions, rewards and progression will come at a cost. They ask for feedback but get upset that we're not singing their praises. If this were free to play, none of us would care. It's just a shame. A damn, stupid shame.

This whole thing is a tone deaf slap in the face to all of us who have supported the game since launch.

No one should be surprised that the Event Pass is anti-consumer.
Think about what Bluehole has done so far in terms of monetization:

They said there would be no loot crates before release, went back on their word and made them anyway. They said there would only be 1 key to unlock all crates, that was simply a lie.
They constantly release loot crates despite complaints that the odds are unfair and no one is happy with them. They release an Event Pass that is obviously anti-consumer as described in many other posts on the subreddit. All of this inside a $30 game. Compare this to games with similar loot crates / season passes like Dota 2, Fortnite, which are free. I mean come on, they've shown themselves to be anti-consumer since day 1. We shouldn't be surprised that the Event Pass is exactly the same. It's par for the course. It would be more shocking if it was consumer-friendly... Idk what the point of this is. I guess I just want to point out that we should not even be 1 bit surprised by this recent development.
