    Paying for early access isn’t any different from preordering. People will never learn.

      In a single player game at least “early access” essentially means the game is out already. You don’t get reviews which is shitty on the publisher but the game is out already

      I’m quite thankful there’s so many people willing to pay the full price to beta-test so I can later get it for 90% off with all bugs and performance issues fixed.

        It’s Ubisoft

        Those bugs aren’t being fixed unless you pay more or subscribe to some bullshit. And even then it won’t be fixed

          On the other hand, since it’s Ubisoft, you’re guaranteed a 70% sale 8 months after release for each of their games. I don’t know why anyone would buy their games on release when they all get deep discounts less than a year later

          Unless it’s because so many people fall for their scams that they can afford those kind of sales

    I don’t think folks expect to restart when the pre-order perk is 3-days early access… But we live in a world with day one patches on every single game too 🙃

    Why would anyone even play a Star Wars game at this point knowing you’re just getting whatever slop some mega publisher paid top dollar to Disney for to fuck you in the ass with.

    If only the entire community warns people not to be beta testers or at least not to be surprised when beta-tester-flavored Shit Happens™️.
