This is extremely problematic if this has been taken away. It was a condition of sale under which many would have purchased. This would be very close to bait and switch tactics.
Would be extremely disappointed in larian.
Your 3 day early access was replaced by a 28 day early access. (As Swen said in the Panel from Hell)
Instead of getting on August 28th you are getting the game on August 3rd.
How is this in any way disappointing?
The release date isn't part of the sale promise the 72 hour headstart was.
Changing the condition on the sale is not on for me.
Getting 3 weeks early as everyone else doesn't change a bonus being taken away after the fact. Especially when PS5 players get to keep their 72 hours bonus.
The promise was August 28th.
It was not 3 days earlier than release no matter when that release is.
If it upsets you so you can still wait until August 28th to play.
While I agree with you, logically speaking, it makes no sense for them to not be able to slap on those three days after pumping the game up basically 30, especially since there's a high chance press and youtubers will have been playing it for weeks by then anyway (they might be playing the final version right now as we speak). If they just wanted to through out a Deception roll, all they had to do is add three days (August 6th) and kept the 3 day head start.
I agree with you if it was like two weeks head start or early access/closed beta that carries over to release or something, and 3 days is kinda spilled milk to be complaining about, yes, but I mean, it's still weird and a little concern it's such a big deal to THEM that they can't simply be like "Yeah yeah, you get to play three days earlier, calm down." Like, the heck is so worrying to them that 3 more days on top of a whole month is a dealbreaker?
On a totally micro level, it can be a big difference to some people. I have an alternating long/short week schedule, and with the heart start it'd come out at the start of my short week, so I'd have 3 days to play before work (I didn't move my time off from end of August). Without it, it'll release the day I go to work lol. Yes, not the end of the world, and I'll just play more Remnants 2, but still.
