Steam will force developers to be transparent about their season pass plans

This week, PC game platform Steam has rolled out support for the season pass approach to monetization.

Steam documentation now states that when a season pass is made available for a game, it must list all of the downloadable content (DLC) included within that purchase. In cases where a season pass is canceled, customers must receive a refund for any unreleased content that they have paid for. The platform now clarifies that the hundreds or thousands of games in players' libraries are licenses to those titles rather than outright ownership.
