About 
Devil May Cry 5 certainly leaves an impression. What felt like a franchise unable to come back from the brink, now feels like one with a future.

Ubisoft Are In It For The Long-Haul With Rainbow Six: Siege
Ubisoft has detailed its plans for how Rainbow Six: Siege will have long term appeal, and is going to be introducing new content in the form of "seasons" (they added the quote marks, not us) that will match up to ranked gameplay, over the course of a year.
According to a post on the official Rainbow Six site, it seems that Ubisoft don't plan on charging for maps, which matches up with the season pass information we had previously.
Maps and modes will be free and available immediately for everyone. New operators and most weapon skins can be unlocked with earned currency called Renown, or with R6 Credits (more on these below). The only new content that will be available exclusively by purchase will be a small number of premium weapon skins that are purely aesthetic and have no impact on gameplay. For an online, competitive multiplayer game it's imperative that we don't create a divide in the community or introduce "pay to win" mechanics. By doing it this way, we hope to keep our community united and engaged over the long term.
There's a huge amount of detailed info over on that article, so go digest it all. It does make the season pass less appealing, especially if you're not into speeding up the rank-up process.
