[quote]These players pay a subscription fee to make up for revenue lost due to having a rather narrow (or more narrow) player base.[/quote] Agreed 1,000%. That being said, annual pass is nothing more than an subscription, albeit a small one, paid in one annual lump sum. Basically, I pay a little over $3 per month for the Destiny 2 “annual pass” and just under $13 per month for my ffxiv “annual subscription”, both in addition to their respective $60 game prices. Annual fee is an annual fee is an annual fee, regardless of whether Bungie calls it a “pass” or Square calls it a “sub”. Whether we like it or not, we’re effectively subbing this game. A tiny sub, but a subscription fee nonetheless.
