The timeframe was the issue, so was the communication. They explaining things made most people change their minds. If you wanna gamble $50 without any information, that’s on you, people most of the time wanna know what they are paying for.
The thing is, most people don’t care about the accesories, hats or anything else. They just wanna play as soon as possible, not to mention the fact that most of them will end up spending more than $50 in the cash shop due to the token overtime.
EDIT: And also, let’s be frank, you have the perfect example a few posts back, some of the founders never intended to support the game, they just wanted a headstart, that’s pretty much it.

I like to know where I’m investing my money. It doesn’t matter if they early access is $100, I would have bought it anyway if it had something that interested me. But going blind and in such a different timeframe compared to other players makes my stomach sick.

I completely understand
