If you had asked me what I thought about this like ten years ago, I'd say I would be fine with it.
...but nowadays? Absolutely not. Lots of developers are using it as an excuse to cut content from the games to sell back as pre-order DLC (forcing people who have just gotta have every bit of content for a game to invest in a title before it's even out), and Capcom was certainly the worst offender with the way they handled Street Fighter X Tekken (12 additional characters on the disc that you needed to pay extra for!). Whatever happened to being able to unlock extra content for games by playing through them and doing all the extra content designed for that purpose (e.g. exchanging Gold Bolts in Ratchet & Clank games for alternate costumes), modern games have that sorta thing as something you need to shell out extra money for.
Never mind the fact I never liked the idea of "Season Pass" content and how practically every "AAA" game is required to have it (even Nintendo's not exempt from it now due to Breath of the Wild). And don't even get me started on the idea of microtransactions...
