Homefront: The Revolution will have microtransactions, but free DLC
The upcoming Homefront: The Revolution will not feature a season pass. Instead, the game will rely on microtransactions, and will offer “at least a year” of free content post launch.
Game designer Fasahat Salim explained to Gamespot in an interview that microtransactions will be in the form of loot crates, but won’t offer anything regular players can’t obtain.
“It’s absolutely not a pay-to-win system because everything we’re providing in these resistance crates is available for free in the game through normal play,” he told the site.
“All we’re offering is, for those players that don’t necessarily have the time to invest in the game, to unlock those cool things. It’s basically just a time saver for them; a shortcut to unlocking these things. They pay a little bit of money but they’re not getting anything that’s exclusive to them.”
The game’s post-launch DLC will provide new missions. “We’re not doing any sort of packs. We’re not making map packs or anything like that,” he added. “As we’re done with a mission, we’re going to release it, the community can go ahead and play it, and we’re going to keep doing that for at least a year after release.”
Homefront: The Revolution is due for a beta starting February 11. The full game is out May 17 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

As long as the micro transactions don't give other players an upper hand I could care less

I don't like microtransactions unless they're purely cosmetic, but hopefully the "anything regular players cant obtain" isn't too hard to get without paying

I can't really tell what's worse paying for dlc or being able to pay to win. It's cool that they are giving free dlc though.

Hate these microtransactions - pay to unlock the content because you either don't have enough time to play the game or you lack the skill to grind through as quickly.

Well I love the free DLC. Can't wait to play this new Homefront. I played the old one when it first came out and I really liked it.
