True, but on the other hand, you lose the ability to earn virtual currency by playing the game.
In some games, there is enough virtual currency to earn in the premium season pass to then unlock the next one for free. I don't know how they could keep that possible if they only use real money, and people will have to cash out every month I imagine.
If they really care, they can add the next season's pass as a reward for the current one, at the same level of progression where you'd have enough coins to afford it. I suppose they won't in order to rile up people against consumer protecting measures like this. Overall I think it's a net positive change
