Borderlands 2 DLC AFTER Season Pass

Apparently Gearbox want two dips of the pie by developing separate DLC from the Season pass.

If you want more BL2 you'll have to fork out extra on top of the Season Pass

"We will have other, non-season pass related DLC. The additional character (Mechromancer) is one kind of example," Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said in aKotakuQ&A. "The Borderlands 2 team is fired up at the moment. Customer love for the game is driving us wild - making us want to do more and more stuff. So, expect that there will be even more beyond the big Campaign DLC"

Scummy practice if you ask me. They didnt say this until after they started selling the season pass. I bet everyone who bought it thought they were getting all DLC for BL. For 2/3 the price of the game it should be all DLC.bonafidetk

The season pass will probably include new campaigns only. Other DLC stuff could be gameplay add-ons, such as new classes. Considering they did say the season pass was for 4 add on campaign from now till June, this doesn't suprise me.

Season Pass is all campaign stuff, missions, etc.. like BL1

THe new character you get for free if you preordered the game, I bet any other DLC will just be cosmetic type stuff for people who want to pay for extras.

Wow, that's EA-level scummy. What the hell are you doing, Gearbox?

That's generally how season passes tend work. Don't see why Gearbox would do it any differently.

Well those people can't read then because the season pass clearly states that you'rre getting access to four campaign add-ons. No where does it say "You get all the DLC"

All the more reason for me to wait until the GOTY version hits. This DLC business is getting rather shady, if you ask me.LongZhiZi

Wow do any of yall actually read and try to educate yourselves on the situation before you start criticizing the company?!?

The Season Pass description: "Cant get enough Borderlands 2? Grab the Borderlands 2 Season Pass and get access to four downloadable content packs for Borderlands 2 at one discounted price"

There is no foul play or shady business going on, the Season Pass clearly states it's just for the 4 DLC content packs and anyone who bought it without reading that is at fault, not the company.

I think you're confusing legality with ethics. Sure, what they are doing is certainly legal. But I bet you that when people realize they effectively spent 80 bucks on one game, and suddenly it turns out that wasn't even enough to get all the content for it, they will be upset. And they have a right to.

Exactly. I don't care how well the explain what you're getting, the whole DLC practice is bullsh!t, and is ruining the industry. I was actually considering getting BL2, soon. But ya know what? Screw them, if that's how they're gonna do things. If I'm still interested in a year or so, I'll pick up the complete/GOTY edition for like 20 bucks on steam next summer. Or just pirate it. F*** DLC.

wow. didn't this game just release? seems like there's more content going up for sale (in the coming months) than there is on the actual game. thank christ i didn't buy this. otherwise i'd just be left out if i wanted to play co-op without any DLC.

i'm not even confident in getting the goty version of this, if they're so adamant on pumping out paid content like a preteen spewing his first several batches.

I don't think you know what unethical means...they are selling all 4 DLC story packs as a bundle for a discounted price to those that want to buy them all. They clearly state this in the product description. It's a great deal if you want to play the DLC's as soon as they come out.

The idiot who shells out $30 without reading what he's buying has NO right to be upset.

Wow who new optional content that you don't have to buy would make people so angry?

I agree some DLC is just BS and a cash grab but Gearbox delieverd some quality DLC with BL1 that I happily payed for, I'd imagine the DLC for BL2 will be solid as well.

But hey if you need to justify stealing the game to ease your conscience then go ahead and keep getting angry about having the option to purchase addons.
