Why are Season Passes not on sale ?

EXLEX · Mar 15, 2016

Hi,

at the moment LEGO Batman 3 is on sale, the basic version and the Deluxe Edition (game + season pass).

I wonder why the season pass is not on sale ? and that's the not the first game where that happens.

Is there any reason that I don't see, that explains this ?

Why people who already have the game are disadvantaged this way ?

:)

season pass price...

So why is the deluxe version of FF15 (with season pass) on sale for $30 but the season pass itself is not on sale? With the season pass priced at $25 that would make the cost of the game with the sale only $5.

Season Passes now for Sale

Hi,

in former threads I was pointing to the fact that the season passes are not on sale even thow the games + season pass editions were on sale. I didn't understand, why people who already purchased the game are disadvantaged this way !

It seems that someone was listening cause there is a first change for the better (LEGO Batman 3 Season Pass ; ) )

I hope You will maintain this course in the future and

Thank You ! Thank You ! Thank You ! ; )

Hey ManWaDaMaHaDa,

Sale prices are decided by the game's publisher, not by Microsoft (unless it's a game we published). I recommend reaching out to the publisher if you would like further information, as we're unable to speak on their behalf. Thanks for posting!

The Season Pass has been on sale before I believe. I think it went on sale for 1600 which is what you'd be paying if you just brought the dlc during this sale. The Psycho Bandit and the Mechromancer are not apart of the Season Pass.

I appreciate your responses, and do agree that season passes are generally a money grab, but it seems EVERY game now has a season pass.

Sometimes after I play a game, I like it enough to want to play that content. I would never buy a season pass up front before playing a game (and usually I play games after they've been out for a few months) or at full price. The problem with waiting for
the bundles to go on sale is, for me at least, I buy physical copies of games. Am I the only one who prefers physical releases?

Also, the times Season Passes have gone on sale, aren't those usually right after a game is released, the first time they put the game & it's content on sale? So those of us who wait to play are left out when there's another sale but it's just a base game
& premium game on sale with no season pass or DLC sale?

To summarize - why not simply put up a discount DLC/Season Pass when the base version & premium versions of the games go on sale? It doesn't make sense to me to not... People like me may be a niche market judging by these responses, but we're still a market...

Are you confusing Season Pass with Online Pass? I am getting Borderlands 2, as for the Season Pass, I will wait until the first DLC releases, or it goes on sale, which ever happens first. So far I have only paid full price for one season pass, and that was
the Darksiders 2 pass. The LA Noire and GoW3 passes I both got on sale. Still waiting for the SR3 one to go on sale, I may have missed one already.

The season pass never was on sale, it's been the same price since it first came out and will stay that price for as long as it's on the marketplace.

[/quote]But it is on sale, it's on sale right now for 2400MSP, Oh wait then you contradict yourself by saying it is on the marketplace, Why even post that it isn't if you are going to say it is in the same sentence?

Anyway at some point in the next few months it will be in the Weekly MS Sale where it's discounted 25-33%, it happened with the Rockstar Pass, it will happen with the GoW 3 Season Pass. And then I will get it, if it never is in one of those discounted sales,
I will not get it. And then I will not get the DLC for GoW3, unless they go on individual discounted sale and work out to be cheaper than the full price pass.
