Too little, too late. (Gaming)

I’m not sure we need to have this conversation again.
But since you asked, it’s because instead of being about providing a good product, it’s still just designed to pressure people as much as possible to play as much as possible and spend as much money as possible to get the stuff before it goes away forever. It’s inherently predatory.
I'll agree that it's inherently predatory, but I've gotta say that lootboxes and the "gambling" nature of them is A LOT more predatory. One encourages an addiction with almost boundless amount of money it can extract vs the capped nature of "buy this pass".
I wish the "Premium battle pass" just had things timelocked where throughout the season you'd be able to check out new gear or get an infusion of materials, whatever.
It's the "well I've paid 10 bucks for this, I should get all of it, damn gotta grind it out I guess, sorry can't join you for strikes, already knocked out those bounties" that bothers me.
