I mean, come on, they don’t even give you enough currency from the pass to buy the next one. Rocket League does it, CoD does it, Red Dead Redemption did it and neither those companies suffered damage to their bottom line.
But no, ActiGreed cannot show any kind of goodwill towards their players

I was scrolling through it yesterday and the free track stood out to me as being especially lackluster as well.
Lack luster for what though. Does anyone honestly really care that much about the cosmetics? It’s barely visible.
Initial 10€ and 4€ for each upcoming pass. I could understand this scheme if you were be able to earn plat otherwise like Red Dead Online, but like you already said, even they gave you all your gold back when you managed to finish the pass. IMO corporate greed and the inpatient of the playerbase are the biggest nails in this coffin.
I figured that if I buy the $10 horse pack in the shop, it comes with 800 platinum. Then the 666 platinum from season 1 would give enough to buy season 2, and the 666 from season 2 would pay for season 3 with the left over platinum.
So $10 and end up getting the battlepasses for the first 3 seasons (including the premium battlepass from the deluxe edition of the game.). And you sort of get a ‘free’ horse.
I’m going to disagree. The price of the battlepass is negligible over the three months that it runs for. There should be no expectation that investing a huge amount of time into the game should effectively mean you can receive free updates and content for the rest of the game’s existence.
In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to realise that there is nothing worthwhile in the battle pass, so I just haven’t bought it. If you think the content inside is worth the money, then buy it. I can’t understand this attitude of wanting everything in the battle pass but wanting it for free (or at least a single small payment up front).

I dislike battlepasses in general. I have a lot of problems with them, but what they have inside of them usually isn’t super high on the list.
I dislike the idea of them, but they can put whatever they want in them, imo.
Buy them or don’t buy them. I’d advocate for not buying them …… ever …. Personally.
The argument I usually get in favor of battlepasses is that they ‘find the continued development of the game’. Well, that’s bullshit for a paid game.
But if that’s the argument, shouldn’t people be happy to buy them? I hear people wanting other people to buy them so the game gets new ‘content’ (another arguable term) regularly, but I’m also hearing that people want to buy one and then get all of them forever for free.
If you’re getting the battlepass for free how does that now fund the continued development of the game?
None of it makes any logical sense to me

Agreed. My only real issue I’ve had is it’s one click to upgrade if you got the deluxe or ultimate edition. I clicked it thinking it would give a confirmation like, “You have one free battle pass upgrade due to purchasing the deluxe edition, would you like to use it now?” Either way, I don’t mind paying a bit each season if I deem it worth the money.
I agree, there really isn’t anything crucial at all in the battlepass.
That’s a good thing, I hate battlepasses. I’ll end up buying them if I know I’ll complete them but chances are I will rarely ever play enough to complete them
