Feels like a scumbag moment from GGG
" It doesnt work like that. Its fully optional purchase, they can even price it 1000$ for a pair of boots, it has no impact on the game itself. Its either worth it for you or it isnt. Why do you care? You dont need it, you never will. |

Other developers have charged $10 or more on top of a $60-$70 pricetag for 3 days of early access. $30 total for months of early access seems much more player-friendly than bundling a few extra days with $100 special editions.

" Well, there's also the minor thing of making a FUNCTIONAL GAME which encourages me to support their efforts and if I get a whole bunch of shinies in exchange - I'm all for it. Last edited by AlvinL_#4492 on Nov 27, 2024, 12:48:38 PM

" Calling it "half the game" doesn't change the fact that people are paying to access what is clearly a functional and playable product. If the "complete" version won't have a price tag, why does this version that players care about suddenly cost money? Making it free for everyone now wouldn't be a marketing disaster, it would actually honour their free-to-play promise, but by charging for early access they're effectively selling the version that everyone wants, leaving little incentive or audience for the supposedly perfected free version in the future. |

" Because its early access. Thats how it works. Early access games must be functional. " Wrong. You not understanding what EA is just proves my point. Stay salty, i will gladly drink your tears. I even bought it, despite me never buying a supporter pack (cosmetics are not worth it for me) mauahaha. Last edited by kuciol#0426 on Nov 27, 2024, 12:56:54 PM

" Yes, it does. So much so a lot of people are buying in. If it doesn't make sense to you, fine, just wait until the game goes open beta or for the 1.0 and play it for free. Hope it helps. |
|
" Just because people are buying in doesn't mean it makes sense for the free-to-play model. Free-to-play games thrive on optional purchases, not charging for access upfront. Telling people to "just wait" ignores the fact that early access here is the game for most players. By the time the free version comes out it's relevance will have passed, and this effectively replaces the free-to-play experience with a paid one. This isn’t a difficult concept to grasp, even for the most dedicated GGG enthusiasts. If you're paying $30 to play the game now, the "free-to-play" promise starts to feel meaningless. |

" Oh it makes perfect sense, you just have to stop being so entitled. Doesnt matter how you try to twist it, games will be out next year now you buy the right to test it. Thats what EA always meant. You cry because others will play the game before you, thats where the problem is. PoE is live service game, it will always be relevant. Its also non competetive in any way so all we gain is enjoyment from playing it early. You are just wrong, i know its hard to live with it but you will have to. |
