POE 2 early access paywall

Price is ok, but 6 months long : HELL NO. Max should be 1 week.

Yeah well, technically you don't Have to go to the casino, either..

Nope, you don't. And anyone who goes in there expecting to keep their money is a fool. Casinos are in the business of making money just like every other business. If you go in with a set amount of money to lose and enjoy the games in spite of losing money, then great; both parties got what they wanted.

The predatory nature of casinos is not the transaction or the empty hope of making money. The predatory nature of casinos is the preying upon addicts. That's a completely different discussion about whether something should be removed because of addiction by some which opens up a host of other categories like alcohol, drugs, gaming, and even sex. That's a can of worms not worth opening here.

Here's a study conducted by someone from my country: link

I searched for poe. Nothing.

I then searched for diablo. Several matches.

To continue the "let's appeal to authority" train - case and point.

I think I'm getting a free key. I didn't see that announcement though and already bought the $60 key supporter pack. I think the EA will be just fine if you don't want to pay for it, although I imagine they need an influx of cash.

Oh boy, now we're supposed to read between the lines? I'm just a lowly poe player, kind sir, please don't murder me with sophistry.

I spent my first year of so of playing POE buying points as I needed to get the stash tabs I wanted. Finally, I decided that buying points was the wrong move and bought my first supporter pack. Having bought one, the second was easy and now I have ten. Buying one's first pack will often lead to buying more if for no other reason than to have two show up under one's name in the forums.

If you have never bought a pack, EA may well make buying your first very easy. Other packs will likely follow. I think I need two more to make my rows even!

Just my thought, but I think it's about how we value our entertainment. If the entertainment value of EA is worth the $30 to $480, i.e. if the entertainment you are receiving is worth the price then it's not an unreasonable amount. If the money isn't worth the value of early access the wait until full release when it doesn't have a cost of entry. Think of it similar to a movie. If what I pay for the ticket isn't worth it to me, I don't see it in a theater and wait for it to come to my television. If it's something I really want to see, I pay the theater price. Again, just my thought.

I wish they would just ban people like this. Toxic players that do not need to be here.

That's how I always viewed it too, the packs have so much more value for the money and come with points, so might as well go with them.

If that’s how you feel then just don’t play. Wait until the full release.
