DLC, Season Pass Model Is “Pretty Much Accepted,” Says Ubisoft

Over the past several years we've seen the rise of post-game support via downloadable content, oftentimes along with the option to get it all through a season pass. According to Ubisoft's VP of digital publishing, Chris Early, this method of delivery is here to stay.

"I think there are some models that are accepted now, DLC is pretty much accepted. Season pass is pretty much accepted." he told GamesIndustry in a recent interview. "Now it's interesting when you start to think of Season Pass as a Service Pass. For our Season Pass holders, I know we hold events for them specifically, so it's little bit more than just DLC content. So there's an evolution going on there."

What are your thoughts on downloadable content? Do you like having the option to purchase additional content for your favorite games after they've been released, or do you prefer having the entire experience on the disc and nothing more? Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the latter.
