    Ok yeah. Why are some people compelled to shell out $150+ on day-1 AAA releases? Theyre generally imbalanced and bug ridden. Give them a few months so the issues are patched out and the price drops maybe 30%.

      The idiot tax. I always have to imagine that one guy in a meeting once said: what if we let people play the game eary and use them as free pre release testers. And another guy goes: oh, so they work for free, nice. And then the guy leans forward and sais: No, they pay extra!
