Paying more to play "early" is an industry standard for many publishers now. You once again complain about MS which isn't a MS thing.

 I also don't like this but yeah, complain about the industry and not MS alone.

It's also pretty normal to see increasing prices. Have you seen Netflix, Amazon Prime or how expensive your eggs in the supermarket are nowadays?

So yes, none of that is nice but it's also nothing you have to isolate MS with your criticism. 

That's Just how it works. Reduce your staff, reduce your costs as much as possible and squeeze as much as possible out of your customer. Your investors don't accept anything else nowadays.

Well MS was one of the ones who did it early not sure if Sony or Nintendo do it with their games.

Like you said it is not nice and the meme should be 'This is not DAY 1 on gamepass with Indy/Avowed special editions posted under it'

It is a false narrative to say that the day a game's releasedate is not day 1 but 'early'. 

But the games release day one on Gamepass. Not the "pay more to play early" editions but you can also not play them if you buy the standard edition. You obviously won't get the game in Gamepass days before the standard 70€ version releases.

So you shouldn't complain about Gamepass versions releasing too late but about the early versions but even then, you can just wait a few days. The game doesn't run away from you. It sucks that companies use the "weakness" of some people who can't wait to squeeze more money out of them but in the end it won't hurt you.
