So perhaps all early access games are worth less upon actual release? ;-)
You'd probably have to pay ME to alpha/beta test a game I so look forward to playing unspoilt at release (or as is usually the case sometime after release after a few patches).
Personally, I don't really mind much what Larian charges for the game, despite having kickstarted it for as lot more than $30. I would like them to make as much profit as ethically possible, so they can reinvest that money into making more and hopefully even better RPGs in the style I like. And they would obviously be in the best position to judge how to to that. However, *puts on armchair developer hat and adopts pompous tone* putting the game on sale now (just before release) is not something that I would personally do, despite a potential increase in profit, as it seems disrespectful to the contribution of backers and early accessers. I can certainly see how CromCrom, and no doubt others, could feel upset, even if it doesn't bother me personally.
Hmm, I'm contradicting myself here. So, is it actually disrespectful, even though I don't feel disrespected? Hmm, I need to think on this more *takes off pompous hat tone*
