He ' s been a starter for 8 years for the best club in the world bar Barcelona but he is average . <| sep |> This article has a good explanation seasonpass 30157186 Here ' s my take on the ideaAt this stage of Fallout 4 ' s release the term season pass is confusing a better name would be All DLC bundle . That ' s all it is instead of buying the DLC separately , you buy this bundle and get them all together for a discount . A related concept is the complete , ultimate or game of the year edition of a game that usually comes out a year or two after the game was released , which gives you access to everything base game all DLC at a cheaper price than buying things separately a season pass is exactly like that , except it doesn ' t include the base game . Bundles are great for publishers as it lets them handle consumers liking different things . So if some people like quest DLC a lot but don ' t like workshop DLC and others like workshop DLC but don ' t like quest DLC , without bundling they would only buy some of the DLC by offering a bundle the people who like quest DLC might be willing to spend an extra couple of dollars for the workshop DLC , even if they weren ' t willing to buy at the full price this topic has been studied by economists see for an introduction . You ' ll often see bundles of DLC on games with lots of DLC available , like Civ 5 , but not on games with a small number of large DLC , like Witcher 3 . So as games have started to release more and more DLC , bundling them together has started to make more sense to publishers . But why the name season pass , which in a lot of settings seems to imply an expiration date ? For example , if I bought a season pass to stream the Olympics I might not be able to watch the events after a certain date . The name makes sense when you think about when the season pass is made available for purchase usually at the same time the game is available for purchase ! In that sense the season pass is also an extension of preordering you have purchased all the future DLC of the game , so in some sense you have a pass to the season of upcoming DLC , though you get to keep all the DLC once they ' ve finished being released . So part of the discount on a season pass is to compensate for the uncertainty about exactly what DLC will be released , not unlike how there will often be a small bonus for preordering a game .
