Borderlands 2, the fancy-pants first person shooter which Peter scored a hugely exciting 9/10 in his review, comes with the option to buy a ‘season pass’ – an additional purchase that bags you a season’s worth of downloadable content and extras.
Except, it doesn’t.
Several packs of DLC, explains Gearbox head Randy Pitchford, won’t be covered by the season pass, and you’ll have to buy them separately.
“We will have other, non-season pass related DLC,” he said in a question and answer session on Kotaku. “The additional character (Mechromancer) is one kind of example.”
“Since we finished the game, we’ve started with some new ideas that we expect will show up in DLC. Some new vehicle types are on-deck – [it’s] awesome stuff.”
Indeed, the season pass – which is around £20 – actually only covers four main expansions to the game. “We’re extremely far along with the first campaign DLC,” added Pitchford. “The second DLC is also in amazing shape. The third DLC is a little farther out and the fourth DLC is just in the pre-concept stages.”
That’s nice.

I don’t see what all the fuss is about if its small DLC below £5? big deal
