The "Pay To Play Early" Scam Is Replacing Actual Content
Added 2025-03-10 12:36:21 +0000 UTCThe twisted version of Early Access in which publishers hide a game's real launch date behind a paywall so you buy a deluxe edition of a game isn't just a scam, it's a scam that's subtley taking away content as it becomes THE reason to pay more money. It is terrifying how well FOMO works...

One point Stephanie didn't mention is that so many games launch in a broken, buggy state that if you buy the early access you frequently are paying more money for a worse product. Quite the scam.
