Keep the Free Content Coming
It’s hard to believe a company that has been consistent and notorious for its season pass content will be ditching the paid DLC for Battlefield V entirely. We’ve gotten so used to everything having paid content, so this notion is unexpected but a welcome surprise. EA revealed Tides of War, a series of ever-changing experiences for the community, that will receive constant updates and content – all for free. The pessimistic side of me has a fear that the community won’t get as much content because it’s free. That remains to be seen, but it would behoove EA to get on everyone’s good side and, again, generate a discussion. Think of games like Rainbow Six: Siege, For Honor, or even Splatoon 2. Sure, there’s a bunch of paid content in those games, but the conversation surrounding those games is overwhelmingly positive because of the continued support from the devs. EA can start that positive reception by giving fans a slew of free content that matches the amount of the previous Premium Passes.
