The only one I've bought is the one in Marvel Rivals but that's cause it was only $5 for a game I've already put like 50-60 hours in. Plus with the way it's setup if I want to get another one in the future if it's the same price it'll only be like $2 with the included currency you get from buying it. I generally agree I would rather just not have battle passes at all but I think Concord showed that paid games in this kind of genre don't really work anymore. Sure Concord had other problems but I'm sure it would have been better off if it was free to play with micro transactions as a lot more people would have given it a shot if there was no barrier to entry.
