Early access or disrespect for buyers

[DarkPremium]

The game will be released without protection, so it will be on torrents in a few hours. Why will pirates play earlier than me who pre-ordered the standard edition? Why should I wait until workdays instead of downloading from a torrent and playing on the weekend?

WTF

[Kenuty]

because you aren't a thief and people who download aren't going to buy the game anyways?

Wellll, yes but actually no. It's been shown that people who pirate typically buy the product later on, and use the pirating as a demo of sorts. Or play it due to a lack of funds, and when they have the money they buy it later.

I know I've done it in the past, then went on to buy FN:V, Skyrim, Scrap Mechanic, and a few others

Just buy the super big PP play early edition from CD keys, it's currently selling for just over the same price as the standard (wait till the 9th) edition. Sod paying £80 for this ♥♥♥♥ :)

Why can't you, for example, give access to at least the company to all players who pre-ordered? Why should I wait several days?

Because this is paid beta and they'll be a release day 1 patch that'll fix all the issues people are running into right now and likely a server upgrade

truthfully only one answer
money,
If i know my game is hot, i will charge and milk you
it's all business and I know people will buy, this is how capitalism works. It's how a business work and if people keep supporting it then it will keep happening and nothing can stop it. When people show they are against it then there will be change but until then it has proven to be lucrative to do this.

Sounds unconvincing :)

If they are going to do this early access ♥♥♥♥ at least make sure the game has denuvo so pirates don't get to play early, lol this is sad.

Shown? No, please post a source, majority of people use this as an excuse, when you steal something you aren't really demoing the game, you are doing it because you don't have the money to buy it or for whatever reason you hate the game etc., I did ♥♥♥♥ like this when i was 13 years old, after you get old you know better, you start supporting the companies you want to have a future with future creation of games.

Companies do this because the behavior of consumers enables them. They currently have been given no reason by us to change the strategy. I am just as guilty as the next person.

My source is the people I've seen who usually treat it as a demo? Not to mention it's what I've done it before. My point is that people who pirate typically buy the game later on either way. The reasoning for the pirate doesn't really matter

I am more of a casual observer of the complainers.
