What I love is that means this game would have been a success at 100k concurrent. That makes this a runaway success. Hopefully other triple As are paying attention to what Larian is doing.
Releasing an early access game as a full release? Other devs are doing that already.
Care to elaborate? The game had an early access and the official release has been incredibly well polished with few bugs that are already being patched out
Plus they limited it to act 1 only. So I don't get how you could even claim it was a "full release game released as early access". You literally couldn't even play the whole game.
But you would have to pay full price as if it was the full game so the fact that it wasn't the full game is even worse.
I don't think so. You got the full game when it came out if you preordered, and they even gave every pre order digital deluxe for free. They were also very blatant about what you're getting in early access (act 1 only, only access to certain classes, way more content to come with the full release).
