RuneScape Abandons Battle Pass Amid Player Backlash

Developer Jagex has decided to terminate the RuneScape battle pass after facing backlash from players. The introduction of the Hero Pass, which added microtransactions and a battle pass system to the game, led to negative reviews and players quitting. Despite attempts to address concerns, Jagex ultimately listened to player feedback and announced that there will not be another Hero Pass after the current season ends. The developer aims to involve players in future game development decisions and create a better gaming experience.
