Not gonna happen.
Didn't they also release one or two small trinket DLC items (new clothes I think) that weren't even included with the Season Pass?
the whole game is a giant F2P game now.

Oh wow, awesome savings there. That's why I usually buy GOTY editions. Screw that bullshit.
* does not include vehicle and character DLC
True.

Best gen ever, right guys?
Everything is F2P style.....I mean everything. Cosmetic shit and add on's. It's insane.
Borderlands 2 is the only season pass I feel safe getting right now since Borderlands 1 had big add on's.
While I would rather get a bundle of the add on's more then character/vehicle that is partly fucked up.

I've had to leave threads baffled by some people who argue for companies when it comes to shit like this.

Yeah, I think I'm hanging up my gamer jacket. This industry has jumped the shark.

Nobody even knows the nature of the expansion. And given that it is "major" and releases two months from release its hard not to wonder how much of it was set aside from the initial development.
This is without a doubt the worst season pass yet.
Oh wait... that sounds little like Xbox Live Gold.

Soon there will only be a pass and no game.

Season passes are rarely ever worth it. You usually just get a bunch of gewgaws or cop-out DLC (i.e., recycled stuff from previous games in the series), and that never guarantees that the season pass is going to get you ALL the DLC of the game, just whatever useless shit the publisher wants to give to you. Most of the time season pass is code for "give me money since you're already hyped for the game, then we'll trickle this shit so slow after you've forgotten you got the pass already". And this one's $50, nearly the price of the game itself.
Season passes are a slap in the face, the worst of the worst to come out of this DLC fetish from publishers this gen. And to think we complained about microtransactions once.
The outrage here is pretty hilarious because I guess no one has payed attention to how Forza 4 had a shit ton of DLC. The Porsche expansion pack is $30, that's just to have the ability to buy any and all Porsche cars.
Here's the solution to all of your griefing, buckle down and play the base game and don't buy fucking season passes ever. I haven't bought a season pass once and haven't had my enjoyment spoiled. If Forza Horizon feels empty and lacking due to not owning DLC than that's a great reason to be outraged. Forza 4 had 500 something cars to unlock alone without DLC, lets see how Horizon is first before acting like it slayed our videogame fantasy or whatever.

Yep. Anyone who does season passes may as well be selling snake oil. It's nothing but a scam designedto lure in gullible people.
No doubt it's successful just like dlc which most gamers fell for, hook, line and sinker.

The only season pass I could ever see myself getting would be something for SF5 when it releases. I know I would buy everything released for it anyway since the games are that valuable and precious to me. I would be adding to the problem though.

At this point I would rather they just start asking for $100 up front and giving me complete games again. In principle, that is, cause I'm not getting Forza Horizon in any case.

If the content is good i dont mind if is 20 or 200 dollars in DLC, i spent probably around 150 dollars in Forza 4 and with a big smile, i love having new cars (and i hoped for tracks 
)
But a Season pass with only a 17% of discount its a joke, especially one as expensive as that. Also with so many cars cut from the game (lower classes and upper R1-R2) its possible that they release some of those cars as DLC and im not paying for cutted contents.
I´ll wait and see but doesnt seem like im going to buy many DLC´s from this game, unless the packs are made from 15 new cars (not from Forza 4) i think they will be expensive, 560 per pack was on the limit of a good deal, if they expect me to pay 10 usd for 10 cars they are crazy.
By the way
Forza 4 Season pass (7 carpacks) : 2400 MSP
Porsche Expansion : 2400 MSP (1600 for VIPs)
Forza Horizon Season Pass : 4000 (6 packs + 1 expansion)
Other 4 o 5 Forza 4 DLCs : 560 each.
So, this is not crazy in my opinion, but 17% off it just lame.

This is the future, people.
I attended an EA "recruitment session" at my university earlier today, and they specifically talked about wanting to increase their sources of revenue post-release. They were looking for people to add to the team currently responsible for micro transactions and the like. I fear that this kind of thing will only get worse and worse as we move to the next generation...

I'm not surprised. Everything about this game seems like one last attempt to milk Forza fans this generation.

This was to be expected. Seriously, have you guys PLAYED forza? The fucking FM4 cars are expensive as hell.

It goes without saying those complaining aren't going to buy it. They're still allowed to complain, however.
The first paragraph actually does a fine job in proving our points. It's the indication that all this ridiculously priced DLC is getting out of hand, to the point where the purported "money-saving" pass is almost as expensive as the game itself.
Seasons Pass are just a little mind trick (for stupid peeps) so they engage themselves into buying "all" of the DLC. Intelligent people wait and pick up only the DLC that they are interested into and if priced right.
I wonder what you guys are expected of Seasons Pass, they don't have any other purpose and I never imagined them different than what they are now.

I know. But it does not bother me that much, I knew what was included in the Season Pass when I bought it. The game + sp only costed me 58$(GMG <3 <3) so I'm not that mad.
This on the other hand is wrong mainly because most of the stuff included in the SP is cars and honestly that's not what I care about the most in a racing game. Expecially when the base game include like 300 cars. If it was something that expend the map/add tracks/new environments it could be worth it. Maybe. Probably not, not at that price lol.
EDIT: For exemple I bought the Premium thing for BF3. For the price I think it was worth it because it add something like 20 more maps overall and a bunch of new guns.. That's a lot of stuff.

Remember when people used to joke about how one day DLC was going to end up costing more than the game itself?
It's perfectly fine to be bummed out about overly priced DLC. And when a game is lacking in something due to it being cut and added on as DLC that's pretty damn shitty.
But this Forza season pass thing isn't really worse than any other season pass, I'd bet you'll get your money's worth quantity wise, but as far as what cars you'll get is the biggest issue. This isn't really a terrible deal but I've always avoided season passes and DLC in general. This season pass doesn't feel like cut content added back in, it feels like Turn 10 will have to come up with what cars should be added each month.
If Forza Horizon feels like it was gimped and that the DLC will make up half of the cars then I'll be pissed. If the DLC is a car pack every month like Forza 4 then I won't be irked at all.
Um, pre ordering or getting the special editions of Forza 3 and 4 would net you exclusive vehicles in the past. I won't be salty about 5 cars missing.
Exactly.

Pre-order cars are BS too, especially in this case were other 5 cars are retailer exclusive. 2 wrongs doesnt make a good.
Also in this case the Pre-order cars were cutted from Forza 4, so its not even a real bonus. Im thinking this Season Pass exclusive cars will be exactly the same.
I was just saying that the same "exclusivity" stuff has happened in the past with Forza.

Slowly backing out of gaming at just the right time. Have fun guys.
Yeah, they should just give out that content for free. Not like it cost them anything to make it.

I'm still waiting for the day when Season Pass surpasses the MSRP of an Original Retail Game
That day will be hilarious and GAF will make me proud
Game Release @$59.99, Season Pass $69.99, roffles, bet you EA will be the first one to do it
Also isn't the point of most Season Pass is that yes you pay up front, not knowing what you will get, but you do get a huge discount.. around 25%-40% off
Most of these new Season Pass Bundles are polluting the name
It just saves you $10 overall most of the time, so you save on 1 pack, that's all
Borderlands 2 went a little misleading with said Season Pass, now Forza comes in and fucks up the price range, holy hell
I Guaran-damn-tee if Forza gets huge sales, prices will get marked up
The scope of these passes are entering the Elite & Premium status
Usually there was a hierarchy of the way DLC was Handled:
Elite & Premium (wouldn't be surprised @ all if Ubisoft joins up with the crew up here with Assassin's Creed III and some new term phrased say Ass Credd III "Prime" or "Select Choice"... just watch)
Season Pass ($10 Off) <= New
Season Pass (Heavily Discounted, good savings $20-$30 off)
DLC Pack ($9.99)
DLC Mini-Pack ($2.99-$4.99)

And season passes are part of why you're backing out?
What a weird thing to announce on a fucking gaming forum, "Yup, I'm glad to stop a hobby because of optional things you don't need being there."
I mean, if there are other things going on in your life and gaming isn't your main hobby anymore then obviously more power to you, but posting this here in this thread because a $50 season pass is announced is laughable, as if the season pass is the point of no return for all of gaming.
That's already happened with Battlefield 3, sales for the game on origin for $10 but BF3: Premium was still $50.
Shit, the mega Cod Elite stuff was like $99, people freaking out over Forza having this season pass is sorta late.
