And that’s why paying to access games a few days early will sadly stay, even though they are not paying to access early, they are paying to keep others out.
I guarantee the ones who paid 2x the value of the base game just for those 4 early days is a minority. Most people paid to get “the whole package” with dlc, car pass and whatnot, the 4 early days being just a welcome perk. But yes, sadly the early access bullshit is unlikely to go away - streamers will always want a head start and microsoft will happily charge them for it.
If people would have rejected that whole idea of accessing early when it first came up, FH6 would still have been released today… for everyone. And honestly, paying for unreleased DLC doesn’t make it better.
“If all gamers stood together against this then we could’ve had the game(s) 4 days early” is fairly wild speculation, but I agree that between this, VIP packs, wheelspins and season passes FH does have its share of dark patterns.

I got it for the expansions and such. The early access is a bonus though.
