The developers of the hit new multiplayer game, Evolve, have promised that all of the game's downloadable maps in the future will be free to all players.

 

Season Passes these days are in full fruition, and it seems like every company wants to milk any feature they 'reward' you with dry and force you to output more money on DLC than the actual game costed. Polygon.com states that Evolve developers, Turtle Rock Studios, are avoiding this trend and making all future expansion maps free to all. Their reasoning was that, "We never want anyone to get booted off of a server because they haven't bought something." Although map DLCs are being made free to all players, that doesn't mean Evolve won't contain other paid content. More Hunters and Monsters will be added post launch that will cost money, but even if you don't buy them you can still play alongside them if your friends have them. Evolve launches on February 10th for current gen and PC only, so if you're on the Xbox 360 and PS3, it might be time to upgrade.

No, in part because money is still needed for game development and if devs have less budget the game produced will generally have less quality.

 

And in part because IMO Evolve needs free DLC to survive; in terms of gameplay, it doesn't have as much replayability.
