Following this week’s Star Wars Outlaws update that forced some early access players to restart the game, Ubisoft has offered a make-good: an in-game trinket and some loyalty points.
In a single player game at least “early access” essentially means the game is out already. You don’t get reviews which is shitty on the publisher but the game is out already
Why would anyone even play a Star Wars game at this point knowing you’re just getting whatever slop some mega publisher paid top dollar to Disney for to fuck you in the ass with.
I’m quite thankful there’s so many people willing to pay the full price to beta-test so I can later get it for 90% off with all bugs and performance issues fixed.
On the other hand, since it’s Ubisoft, you’re guaranteed a 70% sale 8 months after release for each of their games. I don’t know why anyone would buy their games on release when they all get deep discounts less than a year later
Unless it’s because so many people fall for their scams that they can afford those kind of sales
I don’t think folks expect to restart when the pre-order perk is 3-days early access… But we live in a world with day one patches on every single game too 🙃

Paying for early access isn’t any different from preordering. People will never learn.

That’s my point. Either way, you’re not getting reviews.

I feel no sympathy for idiots who pay for “early” access for games like this.

It’s Ubisoft
Those bugs aren’t being fixed unless you pay more or subscribe to some bullshit. And even then it won’t be fixed

Its funny because it’s still buggy lol

If only the entire community warns people not to be beta testers or at least not to be surprised when beta-tester-flavored Shit Happens™️.
