Well, then people need to wake the eff up.  If the industry really is important to them, they'll start taking notice, and listening to people who have red flags about certain practices.  Yes, this even includes those of competing hardware, whether it's Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft or even PC Gamer's.  We all have some pretty valuable insight into how allowing a trend to continue could be damaging.  But we're so wrapped up in brand loyalty, we miss the warning signs.

It's a very serious problem, because companies can literally try and do whatever they want, to gain money.  And consumers simply aren't focused enough to avoid such purchases.

and yet you are defending this parctise Sony is looking into though. You cant see the long time effect of this?

I'm not defending anything, I'm stating the obvious.  Companies exist to make money.  If we object to one of their practices, it's up to us to put a stop to it by not buying into it.  When we don't, it signals to that company and the industry in general, that we accept such practices, at which point it'll become an industry standard, and then move on to the next new revenue stream concept.

The problem I have is you're blaming companies for trying to make money, and that's simply silly, and you're exonerating all consumers, for not paying more attention, which I find equally silly.

1. No one has to pay for games before they are done. They are offered the option to pre-order the game and to play it until it's done. Also, the option to give feedback that can potentially improve the game.

2. You do realize not everyone buys the game at launch. People who buy a game a month later have the advatage over people who just got it. It's always worked like that. Also. how can you be sure that the developers themselves or the hundreds of reviewers who get a copy weeks before you don't have an advantage over you? Also, pre-order a game usually gives people in-game items that gives them an advatage. Even with single player games, if you go to a friend's place and he's been playing the game longer than you, he'll have an advatage over you. It's always been this way.

3. So what? they give feedback the same way game testers do. Who says random gamers' opinion is better than a game tester's. Who says developers do anything about them. I've read blogs where people discuss feedback they got and what little they did with it, because they didn't want to change their game the way early access people suggested. This doesn't affect you either.

4. So? How exactly does it affect you?

I think it is a bad idea, these youtubers are too stupid to understand the concept and will flood the interwebs with "funny" videos of "awfull glitches and bad physics" of the unfinished games. And even dumber youtubers will do videocasts comenting about how have the industry degenerated into broken crappy games and bla bla bla.

I am trying to see your point of view but I can't.  The people that do this WANT to pay for early access they WANT to be involved in the process, they WANT help make games better. That's reward enough... Just because the reward is not in a monitary or some other physical form doesent mean anything. People feel so entitled nowadays it's sick! They feel they have to be rewarded. 

It's also quite simple, if you don't like it your not being forced to do it so move on. Sony may offer the gamer more options but in no way are they being forced upon you. The service is popular and steam and it would be nice to have a console version of this program. 

Thats because I know that gamers are very passionate people. Like you cant tell someone thats deeply in love with another person to stop seeing that person because theyre not good for them. That wont help. You have to go to the person theyre in love with and tell them not to be abusive.

You know what I mean?

Honestly, a few things annoy me as much as the bolded. People saying that EA is raping is all sorts of wrong (same with MS and drm). I find it absolutely disgusting considering how awful rape is and how much control they have not to buy a game (which worst case scenario will be bad and a waste of money). 

The difference is, that issue exists between two people.  This issue exists between hundreds of millions of people, where people can influence the industry in a negative (or positive) manner.  If that person who loves the other chooses to remain with them (and you're right, trying to tell a friend he/she's no good for you doesn't work...been on both sides of that coin), that effects their lives...not a good chunk of the populace.

And this situation is also slightly more deceptive, because if you make a bad games purchase, you're just out $60 bucks.  If several million people make the same mistake, however, it tells companies they can continue on as they have been, without repercussion.  We have to show them there's repercussions.

My point is that what happens if you dont like the way the game is shaping up and you have already paid for it?
