What annoys me is you will see a show advertised to be on Peacock but when you go to the site it will only be on Peacock Premium.

It's like a video game where you see a large chest and you go up to it and whoops, you need the season pass to open it. C'mon man.

Isn't it basically the same as what Hulu used to do when everybody had a free version and then a paid version with extras/more. Unless you're saying you already had a paid version and there's stuff behind ANOTHER pay wall which I haven't come across.

Peacock has 3 versions.

Completely free with ads - you have limited access to their library. Sometimes shows will only have 1 season or a few episodes

Paid with ads - you have access to the entire library with ads

Paid with no ads - you have access to the entire library with no ads

Is this a real thing? If so, damn, that's ridiculous.

Borderlands 3 was the first time I noticed it, there was a huge red chest on your ship that could only be opened if you had the pass or a DLC.

The Tom Clancey games are pretty bad especially with starting a quest and not being able to complete it unless you have the DLC. It was embarrassing how much time I spent trying to do the General Anderson quest until I figured out you needed the DLC to do it.

It’s worse they do the same thing games do, first you pay the $60 for the game then you have to pay the online fee of like $10 a month to play with friends and then when you unlock the juicy reward uh oh you have to pay for the battle pass lmao
