Feels like a scumbag moment from GGG

No your analogy would only hold water if the full release was not free.
Using your logic it would be like your are going to a shelter that is still being built and was collecting funding to finish the building, but you were mad you were not getting free shelter. Last edited by BigJoe1981#4119 on Dec 2, 2024, 2:55:00 PM

" Imagine comparing a game to real life... That analogy is just stupid. You are also forgeting the fact that the"shelter" is not ready yet. You were never promised free access to EA. Deal with it. |

People in here acting like EA Keys are a Human Right
Just pay the $30, you get equivalent points for the store $30 is what you can earn by shoveling snow for an hour or cleaning your neighbor's yard of leaves.

" It really isn't. Like, I get the point you were trying to make in some roundabout way, but that analogy is really just terrible. Shelter is a basic necessity. Comparing literal extortion to what is at best predatory monetization is quite the stretch. Shaper Beam Totems: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3797903

It's just a video game. If you want to play now, pay $30, which you can make in a little over 4 hours at the US federal minimum wage of $7.25/h. If you don't want to do that, you can continue to play PoE which is free and has like 15 years of content to work through.

Turns out they put the $30 price is to reduce server stress. They are already expecting 1 million on the first day. They said they are expecting to be much more than that when it becomes free to play.

Lotta broke people in here trying to play Olympic level mental gymnastics to avoid the fact the games full launch is free like they'll magically get to play the EA if they win gold.

I will pay to play a game at least 6 months ahead before launch day and knowing this game is what I have been looking for since October 28th, 2003.

I think the bigger unethical problem here is that you can pay $30 to get an early access key .. or having paid $480 prior.
$480?! Why not $30? You know .. the price of the access? Heck, even $100. $480? The cost of a yearly supporter pack at the highest tier? Seriously? |
