So it's a pay2play beta? This is like the plethora of early access games you have to pay for on steam now.

Can't argue with the instant + GGG just made in the first half hour, though. Good marketing.

It's not good marketing, it's insane abuse of their fans.

And yet, so many people just opened up their wallets. Including myself. Nobody forced me to do it.

Smells like successful marketing to me.

EDIT: Keep in mind, *many* people were actually ASKING for keys to be included with the new supporter packs. It's not abuse. If anything, it's GGG listening to the community. And then making money by doing it.

Are you really concerned? Closed beta is pretty much letting players test upcoming content, everything you achieve in it will get wiped and will not transfer to live realm.

There's absolutely nothing pay2play about this. Besides, the lottery is now 3 minutes and 50+ seconds on every pick. More people are getting selected into the beta every day.

When/where/how do the keys get sent? I'm keen to give mine away seeing as the GM pack already gave me access.

So i suppose the question is, now that you are selling the keys and you are inviting chunks of supporters, Are you removing them from the list for the timer?

I bought the pack since I made a decision already when they announced future support packs comeing (was supposed to be last week tbh) - that if theres keys in packs ill defo buy one.

Somewhat I agree on the criticism that this is abit of abuse of Fans. Mainly cause of the Hype was so aggressively built. Now to cash in the hype is something that troubles me too.

Howevernevertheless - the company needs moneyz to build up the game. There needs to be money to pay the bills and keep the awesome devs on bread/butter irl.

Thanks GGG for FINALLY putting the CBT access to pack. About time!

So your top supporter pack costs more than the average monthly wage 3 times, here in Hungary. What the hell is wrong with you?

This might blow your mind but that is why there are multiple packs beneath that one.

My point was, the price/value ratio is worse than if you buy a handful of dirt for 100 $. Even the cheapest supporter pack costs about as much as the whole game should.

People who buy those packs do it to support GGG. They'd do it even if they got nothing.

Pretty sure you have to contact Support and tell them who you want to give access to.

Well I just hope there's an interesting twist to divination cards that hasn't been revealed yet.

I don't mind the keys, but do you know what else could you buy from the price of the top supporter pack? A car.
