It's about the principle, and this is a very, very, dodgy practice, you should NOT be FORCED to purchase things which have not been released yet, imagine if TRIPLE A games started forcing you to buy all the DLC with your game before it came out, whether or not that DLC was good?
commit to the season for chist sakes lol its less than 30 bucks like cheaper than like 90% of the games out there.heck liek 2 hours per episode replayabilty do to diffrent choices cheaper than buying 5 dvds.

I'm sorry, but I'd prefer a little confusion regarding updating your version to being forced to invest in the entire season, this practice sets a very dangerous precedent in the gaming world that I just can't approve of.
We've been selling season-pass-only on PC for quite a while. Back to the Future was sold that way as was Devil's Playhouse, and even Tales of … moreMonkey Island, back to 2009.
Often later in the season or afterwards we open up single episode sales, and also often at some point the first episode shows up on its own as part of promotions or sales, but we've found that it is actually way easier on everybody (including customers) to start off by just selling a season pass.
When we opened up on day one selling seasons and individual episodes, the communication was "BUY THE SEASON. OR AN EPISODE. AND THEN UPGRADE YOUR EPISODE TO A SEASON. OR IF YOU BOUGHT TWO EPISODES HOW DO YOU UPGRADE?" and we immediately spent more time explaining how the episodic structure works than explaining what the game is!
It's frustrating that the people who are interested in just buying one chapter get left with a dilemma, I know, but it turned into a situation where we had to make the call that we can't please everybody out of the gate.

Woah, I replied to the wrong person, oops.
