It's a great way to filter the server load anyhow. Not to be an ass, but I'm not waiting in a queue behind someone who has contributed $0 to GGG.
paid beta access is industry standard, they thought it through. Nobody to blame but fellow gamers that this has became a thing. Once upon a time the industry used to pay us to test, then ebay happened and people selling access. Now here we are.

anyway, the real closed beta that ask people to sign NDA, it does not have paywall.

Like, I get it and that's a fair thought, but then again, why would they pick a $480 spent as barrier of entry (or a $30 key)? For the Atlas of Worlds beta it somewhat made sense, but they got the funds now, there's no more need for this bullshit.

Paid Early Access is fine if the game itself doesn't have expensive in-game MTX and it's part of the game's cost, as is the case with most Early Access titles on Steam.

PoE has one of the most insane MTX pricing I've ever seen. WoW and League players rioting over $90 MTX, meanwhile, PoE had/has $480-1000 packs.

So Tencent is a charity, not a for-profit company?

POE 2 will be a free-to-play game at launch.

But you want to charge us for beta-testing your product during early access?..

Did you guys think this through?
And? This is nothing new. PoE 1 did it, other popular games do it (Hades 2 is a good example) and they're successful. I do not see any issues here.

no. There is no one single mtx that cost $480 worth of coin.


Please list the example that WOW mtx is way cheaper.


Also, there is no such f2p in WOW. Free trail cap your character level and they still charge a lot for the actual uncapped account monthly fee

Ahhh, this post is the same dumb stuff people say about Ashes of Creation alpha.

Don't want it, don't buy it, simple.
You think such content isn't worth $30, don't buy it.

It's a great filter to keep servers load stable and just let in people who really want to participate in the testing of the game.
You get MTX and points worth the money you spend on the key, I don't really see a reason to moan about it on forums.

The game will be 100% FREE on launch. No one says you have to play it now.
I bet you are one of those who play a game during early access, or alpha/beta and cry on forums how buggy a game is.

Also, you have 4 supporter packs, and you moan about paying for a free game? Really?!
PReDaTory!!!

Another word that has lost all meaning
