To miss money, exactly,  it is not a pro consumer move, not a pro gamepass move, it is a move that is only made to squeeze money from fans who will not feel like it is a choice but an obligation to do so and you may find it funny but I find it a vile businesspractice...  They did it a few times in the past but now it seems to become the norm and this will not be accepted well when those special editions release and people find out it isn't on gamepass...Ofcourse some xbox fans will defend it and say it is okay because EA and Ubisoft do it aswell...  This will also not be beneficial for the reviews or reception of the games because people will be more critically 'I had to pay 100$ for it so yeah'

Yes that's okay because nobody had to pay those extra... People complaining about "having" to pay more or being "squeezed" for something 100% optional is so weird.

There is a demand, and businesses will try to use it to make money. That's not a "vile" business practice; that's how the world works.
And again, you can just "wait" until the release date, five days later, and not give a single dollar to that "big bad evil corporation."

If I work my ass to get my money; I want to have the choice to put that extra (whatever the price is) to get 5 days early if I want; nothing wrong with that and NOBODY is forcing me to do so; that's 100% on me especially with something like that; that has 0 impact on the gameplay or experience for the game... And if I do not want to spend money on something so trivial or useless; I have 100% the choice to do so too...

There isn't a demand or can you quote someone on this forum that said 'I want 100$ editions of games that let me play the game on the release date while standard editions of the game will release later' Just like there was no demand to make consoles and gamepass more expensive.....   Atleast no demand from consumers.

Yes businesses want to make money but can you answer this:  Are gamecompanies who have the 100$ and 70$ edition releasing the same idea less consumer friendly or more?    What is weird is to see that their are people who are defending this kind of business practice..
