Let’s get this out of the way first: Don’t worry, piracy is perfectly legal where I’m from (at least downloading is, uploading is still illegal). I’m not doing anything illegal.

It’s a absolutely disgusting tactic. It’s not “advanced access” for those that pay premium, it’s “delayed access” for those that don’t. You can’t make me pay 75.- and then go “oh that’s not enough, you’ll have to wait to play the game”.

Starting from now I’ll pirate all games that have advanced access in order to boycott this stupid tactic. (And then buy it on GOG when it releases there because GOG is amazing)
