It's like buying a tiara for your fetus, before you even buy a crib.

ALSO, MICROTRANSACTIONS = DLC.

Nah. Not acceptable. That's not the case, here. People had already bought the game, in Early Access, before they started selling this extra shit.

They're betraying the original investors with this shit. It's fucked up.

EDIT: I just checked the dates, and only one of the three DLC packs has been added after the game began its Early Access phase. I guess that's something. At least you'd know the DLC was going on, right when they started to sell the game. It still shouldn't be allowed. Early Access should be a privilege, specifically for developers who intend to be respectful of their users.

I can’t tell you how many threads I’ve seen online over the years of people complaining about paying for early access or preorders and the game isn’t what they thought.

At what point is it your own fault?

Fault isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. Yes, if you buy basically anything at this point, you're a sucker.

But it's also the fault of the people doing the shady shit. Multiple parties can all be at fault. Why absolve people of shitty behavior, ever?

Blame is free. Spread it everywhere that it ought to be spread.

I mean, it is just your opinion that EA shouldn't have DLC. There is no fault in buying it and there is no fault in selling it. Does it make things worse for the rest of us? Yeh it does, but really, why do you care if you aren't buying it?

ONCE AGAIN, I am having to explain the whole concept of CARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, BECAUSE OF EMPATHY.

It's fucking fascinating to me, how I've been called a psychopath in this thread, and yet soooooo many of y'all are really scratching your heads, trying to puzzle out why I would care about people other than myself.

Then let me ask another way, what right do you have to decide what other people may or may not want? If people are paying their hard earned cash to pay for what you and I consider shitty things, then you and I are clearly wrong.
