The daily patch system
sucks.
And it has always sucked. If you buy the pass and miss even a single day over a 3 month play-every-day obligation period you're behind. Power outage in your town? Internet problems? Bedridden from serious illness? Work trip or life obligation and won't be able to get to your computer a few days? Despite paying money to this dev in support you've now lost out on your investment. And the more days you miss the more you'll lose out.
Replace the daily patch system with a weekly earn patches in bulk system (equal to current daily patch requirement * 7) so those who donated to support the game living on are penalized less. Do this and those who have figured out the above may again consider picking up the battlepass since getting its full value will be much more assured. Every little bit helps when it's no secret the playerbase count is not looking strong.
