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..

It's consumer manipulation. Tbh, I don't get anyone paying more to play 2 days early. It's just 2 days. People need to wait and stop being muppets.

It really not consumer manipulation.  I do not think that term really works well in this situation.  How can a consumer be manipulated into a purchase that has no real meaning only to that consumer.  Meaning, I have never bought a pro/ultimate/premium version of any game.  The reason is because there was nothing in those versions I felt was worth the added cost.  Every consumer goes into a purchase decision and decides if the value is worth their money.  The business is trying to find that right amount of value to sell you a product.  Pro/premium/Ultimate versions of games came around when business found out they can sell you extra crap and get you to pay a premium price for it.
