Whenever companies pull especially greedy bullshit it just makes me want to find the content another way…
The game Avowed just pulled this “advanced release” bullshit, pay $20 more and get access a few days early. Had they simply released the game I’d have bought it, but after seeing that I said fuck you I’ll find it another way and honestly I’m glad I did. As one review put it: it’s aggressively “meh.”
To be fair to obsidian the distribution choices have nothing to do with the people who make the game part. You can have great devs with a greedy publisher.

Oh damn, I hadn’t heard of that with the Avowed thing. That’s a Bethesda/Microsoft sleezeball move right there.
I think people in general need to just default to “finding content another way”, because companies should never be given the benefit of the doubt IMO.
Case in point is Obsidian, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.
