General Discussion - POE 2 early access paywall - Forum

You're missing the point, baby. The OP is not about why they would want some more money from you, but a simple and blatant issue with the value prop they are communicating.

" they don't need any money So, GGG cannot make a profit from their investment (dev cost?) This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee.

My fellow human, This game is going to be incredible. Please proceed to pay the $30 measly dollars and be part of the beginning of the future. Please rethink this post. A KFC family meal costs more than this. Thank you.	Posted by sempuken#7215 on Nov 22, 2024, 9:16:07 PM Quote this Post
This is funny. It comes from someone that has bought (at least) x3 $60 bucks Supporter Packs, and a $160 bucks one.	Posted by CthulhuMaster#6402 on Nov 22, 2024, 10:58:53 PM Quote this Post
" neohongkong#0222 wrote: anyway, the real closed beta that ask people to sign NDA, it does not have paywall. That step is behind us. Now it is time for wider public but not for all. Hence pay for access. Its only logical. You want to participate? U pay. U dont? U wait for full release or OPEN beta, like with PoE.
