Who takes vacation time for an early access title? lol. it's not even the full game people.

stop treating EA like a preorder. It is a time for bugs, and crashes, and testing, and feedback. It isn't a vacation.

I am glad you are getting burned.

lol why so bitter about people taking time off to enjoy early access? taking a few days off work isn't really that big of a deal for a lot of people.

I am not bitter, I am laughing.

I've been watching this behaviour for years and it never ceases to amuse me.

People who think EA is meant to be a vacation time or a game release are betraying the purpose of EA and diluting the feedback from actually interested parties.

Swen himself says don't buy EA if you don't plan on testing the games.

If more people actually used their brains than their epeens when making decisions about purchases, this wouldn't be so amusing.

But alas.

hahaha.

"time off to enjoy early access" is entirely the problematic perspective.

early access isn't "time off vacation game" ... it's "testing bugs and providing feedback game".

and until people start treating it that way, EA will never actually be anything but a hype train money grab.

you know people can test and provide feedback in an early access game and have fun at the same time, right? these things aren't mutually exclusive, if they were early access probably wouldn't be so prevalent in the industry. ironically enough I don't see a single person in this thread upset about the delay, in fact it makes my time off easier. at the end of the day, completed or not, this is a video game and it's there for our entertainment.

and you know, maybe you're not bitter, but it's pretty typical bitter behavior to say things like "I'm glad you're getting burned" despite nobody actually getting burned. but hey, if making bitter assumptions makes you feel better, then have at it, I guess. being obnoxiously negative about the community you're in seems to be a thing these days.

Yes of course, you're entirely correct. /s

Sounds bitter to me.

The problem with a lot of people these days is that they cannot comprehend criticism, so they relegate it all to the individual being "mad" or "bitter".

It's not my job to educate you in the difference.

The Twitter says they had updated requirements on the store page. They're still the same. They still make as little sense in parts (an FX 4350 is nowhere near as fast a CPU as an i5 4690).

Being glad when people got burned isn’t criticism, it’s just being a jerk.

That's your opinion.

Mine is the joy of a potential learning experience for them. But hey, you can choose to see things as negative as you like. That's your prerogative.

Enough with the personal attacks.

Maybe some people enjoy spending their time trying things out and giving feedback?

We’re all putting in time here talking about what features we’d like to see and giving feedback on whatever snippets of news we hear. By your logic we should all just STFU until the game is released in full.

Anyone joining early access will presumably play it. Some people might prefer to do that during the day instead of after work. So what? In these times there’s fewer options for doing the stuff many of us enjoy anyway.

BG3 EA has been delayed into October. Or by one week if you want to me less dramatic.

EDIT. Oh already reported. Sorry.

Put me in the naughty corner

It doesn't matter whether individuals approach Early Access as players or testers. Assuming they agree to let Larian gather data, they'll be providing useful information, providing data for the death map, paths taken and not taken, etc.

I guess it comes down as well to whether you've been a fan of Larian for long or you are a new comer. People who've been following their games at least since DOS1 know how valuable it is for them to have an EA and how successful it makes their work become afterwards.
