Success in the world of gaming can be short lived. Right now they are capitalizing on the annual pass orders/pre orders. I view the game as a success as well. That said I'm not naive enough to believe its going to last. I dont feel this pass was actually good content. It was something but all together has it seemed to you like a true expansion so far? There were several good concepts but nothing cohesive. Combine that with a shortage of good perks and loot to pursue and an economy that is toxic and you arrive at the situation we are in now. From a pure shooting mechanic perspective this game is awesome. The rest not so much. Is what they currently offer going to convince people to buy their next iteration? That will decide if this was a success or not. Past success is not indicative of future success. If you love what you have though im not faulting you. Everything is subjective.
