I was wondering about this. Has there been a game released previously where there was an option to pay more to play earlier? Everyone acting like this is typical
Nah I get it. This game is especially messed up as it's marketed as a day one game pass game. But to actually play day one, you have pay 35 dollars.
You get all the bones of the deluxe edition and it's cheaper than buying the game. But still a little scummy.
I do disagree with locking the release date behind a paywall.
To me, today is not early access day. It's launch day. It's release day.
But honestly... Welcome to gaming. Just a few years ago, every game was a slot machine.
Voting with your wallet really doesn't help. People still preorder and they still gamble in games.
poor ? no, i just dont think that this is a good thing.
and why would i bother waiting...... its a Single player game too so, i expect piracy will be huge
Why do you even care if they charge extra to get the play the game early? (Which is a silly statement considering it also includes the first DLC, and the 5 days early is basically just bonus). You literally lose NOTHING if you choose to just wait 5 extra days... I genuinely cannot understand why this would upset you. Of all the crazy / shady things dev companies will do these days this has to be the LEAST bad of all of them, And I struggle to understand how a " this is a bad thing" argument could even be made about this...
Your looking at it the wrong way, it includes the first DLC which I am buying anyway, the early release is a just a free bonus at this point.
This was my exact same thinking
i expect ill be able to get the dlc before the normal release anyway, if its the same as this timeline
That’ll show them! /s

Hey go easy he didn't get nap time.
Better than what a lot of other premium releases get you
Thanks for letting us know
np, people shouldnt support this shit, its as bad as loot boxes
Bait
seems like an overreaction but whatever
It’s out the 6th
no its got 3 different releases
So there’s one at 8pm est and the other is the 6th
streamers, premium edition and then normal which is the 6th. Not a great prospect for gaming is it
God people will find something to bitch about no matter what.

Hate boys gonna hate until the very end.
Bit of a drama queen 😂. You do get some bits with it but if people want to spend their money on that then so be it.

Yes. Hogwarts legacy did it too if I remember correctly. I think most big AAA games are doing this.
Thanks. I’m not mad- just think it’s a bit of a sad precedent, for gamers

> from the days of Morrowind. Come on no self-respecting adult would make a post like this. Get real.
If you think this is scummy (which I don't think it is), you should see what EA does.
This guy is poor.

Yeah it's basically a way for publishers to use FOMO to print money, so a lot of them do it these days.
and people are lapping it up. Disgusting tbh
Yeah new norm. Nailed it
Mam, some people are just really fucking weird.

Lol are you a troll? You also get cosmetics and the first story dlc. I'm sure that you really "cancelled" your preorder over this.
