I'm stuck trying to unlock red death... I've unlocked everything else afaik.... Does anyone have any tips? I can't even get to both rings without dying.

Operation Payback for CS:GO came out in 2013 and basically rewarded you with a coin that was a different color based on playtime... similar to how a battle pass would work, but without the objectives (which would come in later passes).

At least with those, the creators of the maps that got featured were paid the money raised on the passes.

Yeah Fortnite is the first one I at least saw it be present in, I know it goes back even earlier, but it made it popular, at least it worked though since it was a free to play game, once games started making you pay for it, on top of making you pay for the game already, it became more annoying, like Black Ops 4 had a battle pass, but it didn’t cost anything since you already had to buy the game.

You are sort of right in thinking it was Fortnite.

All it did was popularize it to a large audience and demonstrate how lucrative it was. Not to mention, it isn't terribly implemented in Fortnite, so that helped.

DOTA2 introduced the battle pass in 2013. Valve added a battle pass to TF2 a couple years later

Season passes had been around for a couple years — starting in 2011 with L.A. Noire.

Fortnite adopted battle passes in Season 2, which started in December of 2017. Wikipedia notes that the season 3 battle pass (February 2018) brought in over 50 million dollars in a single day.

This game is such crack, goes hand in hand with Holocure for me, which is completely free!

It completely caught me off guard with how satisfying the gameplay loop is.

I started way before Fortnite was even in development.

The popcorn sound is highly addicting

True, i am not sure what the first BP was, just know cosmetics is older than skyrim so dropped a reply. Oldest BP i remember was maybe PUBG, but im unsure.

Oblivion came out in 2006. Still a moot point, OP never asked about a single cosmetics, just an entire BP

Recently I've really been into the style, character designs and all of 'Buriki One', something about it I really like.

Love how blocky and polygonal the characters look, yet they're bursting with personality, they all look different to one another. Just captures a very specific time period and style. Love it.

Recency bias, but Hi-Fi Rush is absolutely gorgeous. Any single still image from that game looks like it came straight out of a comic book, they really nailed the aesthetic.

Go play Soulstone Survival and Brotato after you "finish" this one.

Incorrect, even crossfire in 2007 had paid cosmetics actually, its much older problem than skyrim.

Oblivion. Not Skyrim.

Really liked that one, it's a bit more straight forward with combinations and stats, almost like an active RPG version of the genre.

It's an absolute power trip. The game lets you both be struggling for survival as well as feel like a god. Many games try to make sure the player isn't too over powered and don't offer options to abuse. This game doesn't do that.

They said option, not opinion.

Horse armor in skyrim was the first paid cosmetic found in a game. Not quite a battle pass but it was definitely the precursor that started it

Let's not forget about sekiro and Darksouls (all 3 of them)
