How many services on the PS4 are you going to charge people for Sony? Enough already! People with PS+ should get this included. If you want the community to be involved, then do so without charging them for it!

My god, I know Sony is having some financial trouble, but this is just ridiculous...


..this isn't a service.


True. Its a disservice...

Well, the early access to Dead Island Epidemic wasn't/isn't bad.  I've enjoyed that, and my friend enjoyed the early access to Rust.  So, I guess it really depends on the game.


sure i guess.  if there is even a decent chance of a crash or a game breaking glitch i'll pass.  there are enough of those in retail releases as is i don't need to expose myself to that kind of frustration just to be able to say "first!".

Well, I've never had DI crash on me, but it's pretty close to final at this point (from the looks of it).  Not sure about Rust, would have to ask my friend.  He has over a thousand steam games though, and does a ton of Early Access stuff.

This is the same as buying a game, except you can buy it before it's complete. Kinda like pre-ordering, but here you get to play it. 

Sony doesn't get more money, it's the same. Your comment had no basis.

Errr, great for those interested but i'm not interested in being an unpaid game tester.

That sounds like a terrible idea.

Please, don't! Games should go on sale when they're finished, not 1 year before that when they're in alpha.


if they were considerably cheaper while in early access than what it would be on launch, then i could say i think this might be a good thing. i dont really know, personally i aint interested at all.

If it's free, I'm in. If they charge for it like Steam, no way. Valve has some of the worst practice in the gaming industry and I don't want to see that terror spread all over.

It's not a service and it's completely optional for those interested in helping to shape future games. So what is your deal exactly?

If it is like preordering but with beta access then it looks good.

Stop defending Sony for everything they do. This is like Kickstarter, but for a multi billion dollar company.

Sony doesnt get more money, but they dont have to take any risks either, because you have already paid for the game.

Whats next? We`re going to pay Sony for games we would like to see in the future?
