Feels like a scumbag moment from GGG
" Seriously ? Nobody said you had buy packs for one year of the game.. This is option for long payers/supporters.. For all life of PoE 1.. Why they wouldn't reward players for supporting their game ? This is EA.. Purpose of TESTING, improving BEFORE RELEASE. That means we dont need milions of players which will play game, says it horrible and dont try report bugs, improve things, give some ideas with group of another players. Just wait on Full release in that case. The game isn't finished basically. It's same as all EAs in game. You will get game for EA and then you will pay nothing. OR in this case you wont pay even anything if you wait on polished game. While different normal game you would play full price after EA.. Wanna be part of testing ? Then dont except it for free, sounds it horrible ? Maybe.. but it's not first time or last in any game. (btw PoE 1 had same thing) Never supported game except needs like stashs ? Then you actually dont support game for long time.. "Just bought DLC" Idk why this post is still even alive.. |

" I bought your last vehicle, surely I am entitled to your new model!? Yeah... That ain't how economics work. | |
" Uh, they could have send out keys you know. Send out like 200,000 at first, see how the servers are doing, send out more next week. This will keep the hype going. But no, apparently the only way is to extract money from their fans |

" Then people would bitch that they didn't get a key. No win situation. At least the $30 goes into their budget for the effort. $30 wont buy a family a meal these days, unfortunately its as near nothing as is reasonably worth charging. | |
" The shelter analogy is perfectly fine. It's intent is for illustrating the inconsistency between what's being marketed and what's being offered, not to debate whether shelter is a necessity. And as others love to say, you are free to just go and find another shelter.

It's like promising "Free shelter" to the homeless, then clarifying, "But you'll have to sleep outside in the rain for a few years while we make sure the curtains are in perfect alignment, unless you can pay your way in now". It's technically correct but it turns the original promise on its head.
" Those numbers are probably decided after consulting with both psychologists and marketing experts who know exactly how to hook people into spending more. |

I am one of those gamers who doesn't buy skins and stuff because I think it's stupid.
Poe reddit and forums have complained about paid ea access in other games pretty frequently. I remember the stink people made when d4 had a collectors edition to play earlier. I think is healthy to complain a little when a company you like did something a little scummy, but don't blow it out of proportion. This is how companies operate these days, gotta nickel and dime everything. |

" Man, I am tired of people treating GGG like a company which needs money to survive. Why aren't you all treating Blizzard like this? There isn't much of a difference between the two right now. |

"The shelter analogy is fine if you want to gaslight people into equating not giving free Beta access to a game as the same as not providing a basic human right. Using this argument is pretty appauling really, it shows a lack of respect for people that are actually struggling and is a pretty clear sign that you are not actually thinking about what you are saying. |

Meanwhile, in every page people who disagree with GGG's model are called poor and urged to go work. Nothing disrespectful here at all, I wager
