Paying for Early Access of a soon to be free to play game. Yes or no?

Well, that makes sense. They should have clearly marked thus as Early Access and that it'd release as ftp. Hopefully they'll manage to transfer your stuff to the 1.0 version, I guess the good thing is that these types of hack and slash CRPGs are infinitely replayable and the hardcore player base starts from scratch every season which is three months long.

It's just so mind blowing that SO many people bought in for EA with this and on console too, it's going to set a god awful precedent, really wish they had confined EA to PC like usual.

It said Early Access on the store page, but usually it's a lower price for early access and higher at release... Not free later.

Starting over from scratch is not that fun. We basically already did that in cruel mode which was luckily a lot easier than the first time. Hence also not wanting to start with zero equipment again and having to grind levels to be able to get past the boss roadblocks. The good thing about the end game is that the bosses are better balanced with the rest of the mobs. Or rather the rest come in such large numbers all at once that it evens out. And they bosses so far are as big bullet sponges.

Having to defeat the Act bosses again, no thanks. Rather repeat random zones than the same zone over and over before being able to continue. So yeah, hopefully something carries over.

Trust me, 1.0 will be easier, they'll want to retain more players and having difficult mechanics will deter seasonal replay value, I'd be more worried about space in your inventory than anything else, expect to have to buy it at some point and then buy it again soon after.
