Super shady practice

[PhantomSoul]

It tells a lot about a company if they decide to give early access over the weekend, for people who pay more money. Release the game on monday where noone has time to play so they get an impulse to pay 20 bucks more for the game just so they get to enjoy it on the weekend without having to wait another week to play and probably get spoilered all over the internet is super greedy. You could have done something else to get more money but this absolutely shows off the gigantic greediness we are dealing with in the gaming industry nowadays.

Watch out for the fomo victims downplaying the facts and even ad hominem you by implying that you are too poor.

CDkeys has the gold edition for the same price as the standard edition on steam..

[Akemua]

Not anymore shady than games that have been half-baked full of MTX like the last 10-years.

It's an option that effects virtually nothing. If it bothers you that people are willing to shell out $30 to play early, that's a you problem. The game isn't going anywhere and unless the universe has other plans for you, you shouldn't be dying before in 4-days. So just calmly wait like a mature adult.

Guys in suits found their new piggy banks. I am just waiting for this trend to creep into every AAA company. I hope this premium access ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ extends for longer and longer, so people just wanting to play the games without paying 30-50€ more have to wait half a year or something like that. And the FOMO morons will pay for it like kids without self controll.

Even in the 41st millennium, there is still capitalism.

It's a video game. Not something you ''need'' It's luxury. You don't need to pay for EA, just buy normal edition that is way cheaper, and it isn't 60$ [At least here]

EA is the least pain method to get more money, I take that instead of MTX, Day 1 DLC's, and Battle Passes made from FOMO.

Yes, look at Concord and Destiny 2.

What is this even supposed to mean?

The op is mad about EA, I explained it really doesn't matter because we have horrid things going on with the industry already, and all he needs to do is wait 4-days to play the game if he wants.
