$15...the hill of all hills to die on
Lol the title of thread $15 insanely
I have never seen someone complain this much over something that is only $15 more and is optional. I’m afraid of the tirade they must of went on when they raised the price of video games from $60 to $70 for new gen console games.

I know this is probably more of a microsoft decision as opposed to SDS but the early access bundle for those planning on using gamepass to get the base game is insanely overpriced, for $50 why don't we get the same pre-order bonuses as the digital deluxe version.
Early Access $50

- Four Days Early Access.

The Math Does Not Add Up
Where do you even see this early release bundle option? I just looked

The pricing is off. The weird Sony loyalist cannot wrap their head around the concept that the game is not free if it is part of a paid-for subscription (you did not get free CDs in the mail, you paid for a CD subscription service). There is no sense of entitlement, and there is nothing wrong with being thoughtful about purchases.
Happy Early Release! Excited to play ball in 2022.

No one’s loyal we’re laughing at the notion 15 is an insane amount

Ratios, % and fractions are difficult to understand.

at this point they are either
1 intentionally being dense just to be contradictory (troll)
2 actually are dense and even breaking it down into its most basic form that even a grade schooler would understand, they still wouldn't get itYou could venmo me the $15 and I still wouldn't buy the package, you probably don't understand why.
Not gonna argue what constitutes insane, you don't agree that it is insanely overpriced, fair enough, that indicates you know it is overpriced, just not insanely
I have not said anything about them raising next gen from $60 to $70 for 2 reasons, I have not yet moved to next gen as there is no real draw for me to move to next gen and I am happy to wait until there is a console price drop so I have no skin in the game. I have no problem with them raising the cost of games on next gen. If you think them raising the price of games from 60 to 70 is the same as this issue then I guess no child left behind really doesn't work -

Everyone who has early access Enjoy, I am happy for you, I wish I had a reasonable option to get it but I don't so I will wait, But I hope those that have early access have a blast and can't wait to join you all on the 5th

I am aware of all my options, I could probably flip for well over $100 worth of stubs, but again you are missing the point, charging me more because I am getting the game through gamepass, feels to me, like they are saying my money (the money they accepted to be on gamepass) is not as good. If they feel that way I will spend my money elsewhere. I am guessing most of their revenue comes from the add on purchases, not selling the title, so it would seem to me to be in there best interest to get as many users active on the game as possible, not to squabble over $15 which as you put it is not that much money, you think that same $15 is not childish for them to jam in there?
I did have another possibility although I don't think it is the case.
The only cost difference to them between selling 1 early access vs selling 100 early access is server load, maybe they fear that the addition of xbox users to the early access environment would stress the servers and therefore cause problems with the servers to the same level that we see on release day. Therefore the $15 is there to de-insentivize those who would rather wait than pay a fluffed price.

Lol okay you just want the game for service option and don’t forget Nintendo

I don't have nintendo. but again, if I get it on playstation or nintendo, they are getting that purchase price + the money from gamepass that I am also paying towards, I could just buy the same versions direct on xbox. As I said, I am not happy with the message being sent, and will chose to spend that money someplace else.
So in my case, that attempt to get the extra $15, cost them $100 that I will no longer be spending on add on purchases. I might be a lone case and in the long run they don't care, but I speak with both my voice and my money and I want them both aligned
