And here we go. I bought $10 worth of croms, I got the pass, I used the croms from the pass to get the next, I still have the croms I bought. So all that content was no cash cost. I figure the value of the enjoyment of playing easily covers the cost of electricity, and my time.
Then quit trying to tell them to me. Your description of the battle pass sounds like some one trying to describe the monster they heard in the woods.
I doubt the inflated prices can go any higher, too high and the pod will take their $$$ elsewhere.
