If Publishers Want To Charge Players For Early Access, The Servers Have To Work.​



Last year, we saw the rise of video game publishers offering a few days of early access to big AAA games for a price. This year, it’s only going to get worse as it seems every large game publisher is holding games hostage and charging players a ransom fee to play a few days early. But what happens when you pay $80, $90, $100, or even more for a game and early access to it and don’t actually get to play the game? Well, we’re seeing that play out with WB Games and Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.

It is not early access. Game is ready to be played on that day. PERIOD.

P.S. Suicide Squad sucks, we know.
