Spare Platinum for your thoughts?

What's locked behind Platinum? I thought it was just cosmetics. Is there any actually gameplay/QOL stuff that it gets you?

You’re right it’s just cosmetic stuff. However the battle pass itself costs money. So the idea that paying money for the battle pass doesn’t earn you enough to buy ANYTHING is kind of ridiculous. I know you unlock other things in the battle pass itself but still.

I only have this seasons battle pass because it came with the digital deluxe edition. I can’t see myself ever buying it.

If this is the case, they might as well not included. But it gives incentive to buy more platinum to actually buy something.

Yeah, that is exactly it. It's a psychological trick to scam a few dollars out of people. Mobile games have been doing this exact shit for years, because it works. It's the type of manipulative bullshit you'd expect from a "F2P" gacha mobile game, not a full price AAA title.

Not that I disagree with you, because it is absurd, but I’ve been writing off the cost of the battle pass as just a way to get “discount” cosmetics. The overall cost of the cold iron set is cheaper than a standard store set at the cost of needing to grind to get it.
