Is the new trend of "pay to play early" a bad thing?
Why?

@LukeAlmighty it's bad for the people who buy it but good for the people who don't because they end up getting a better game
@beardalaxy
Are you talking about early access?

@LukeAlmighty I mean it kind of is early access, just a very short version of it. Every game releases with bugs, so the people who play it on the soft release date are going to have more bugs than the ones who play it on the actual release date. As long as the developer patches it in time, that is. These days, the longer you wait to play a game, the more stable it's going to be (typically).
@beardalaxy
Well, I love early access, but I see it as a deal with the devs, that as long as people pay, the game can be improved to infinity. (Kinda the oposite of what it's supposed to be)
But a pay to access is on such a short time frame, that I cannot see it as anything but a jurno oportunity.
