When I look the season pass on the xbl market place and in game it says for the next 4 pieces of campaign dlc. No one has lied here, also, season pass doesn't mean all does it? Look at tv series as an example, a season is just what shows for one season, a show can have any number of them. The term never meant anything to do with having all of something, just a portion relative to what they consider a season.

I think we should just shut down DLC for good, as well as a load of other features, until the gaming community can learn to grow up. Gearbox offered you a season pass, which gave you 4 packs for the price of 3. THAT is good in itself, if you're planning to get them all anyway. Just because the deal doesn't cover this stuff, doesn't make it a bad deal at all.
They might as well take the season pass away, so you have no discount, because apparently if the season pass didn't exist, we wouldn't be crying like tiny baby men when the discounted price isn't discounted enough.
Its like writing a complaint to a Tesco store because theres 4 packs of sweets you want and its 3 for £1, not 4.
Its not asif its pay to win like a F2P game, you're not required to spend the extra money.
Agreed, more, but optional is good, and with the season pass it's a discount. It's not like anyone is forcing you to pay just to play co-op for example. It's more content, to get more content on a lot of things you have to pay for them, because someone has to work to make it.

That's right sheeple, keep shelling out that dough for a game you already paid $60 for. Once they wring you out for $120 or more total, do you honestly think you will have value equal to a finished sequel to your first $60 product?
Crap like this is just a way to get the gullible to pay $120+ for a damn video game, something not even the most foolish among them would do if that were the starting price tag and all they had to do to punk you was sell you an unfinished product and charge you for the missing pieces.
Spit on their DLC and games that push it, else you only encourage this abusive fleecing of consumers.
I'm sorry, did someone force you to pay for any dlc? What's wrong for paying for more content if it's worth it to the person buying it. The game seems pretty polished and people have been getting dozens of hours of enjoyment from it too, adding on more at a discount price and then saying "Hey, we have even more IF you want it." can hardly be considered a bad thing.
So far it's not on disc, we have to wait and see if the new class will be but Gearbox have yet to really do that (unlike Capcom) so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
You could debate all day with someone about your other point of whether or not another 60 dollars worth of content is the same as a sequel, but you also seem to miss the point of dlc like this. It is a smaller cost, you don't have to get all of it, only what interests you and they probably each have their own little story etc, in a full game it all has to be together and tie together completely and it's $60 off the bat. Individually, the dlc is a smaller cost and you don't have to get more then just the one you want. In the last game, I just bought the General Knoxx one because the others didn't interest me, and it's great to have that option.
This is not to say dlc can't be bad, we all know enough example of this, the Street Fighter games, Marvel vs Capcom 3 and RE5 (all Capcom I know, can't think of any others right now.) nickel and dimed with content not worth the price. $10 bucks for a character, or just for vs mode in a game where you could already play co-op split screen in etc are example of bad dlc, on those ones, I can agree with you, but Gearbox has yet to do anything along the lines of that kind of BS at all.
