Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods - eviltoast
I've got a bad feeling about this.

Just more AAA bullshit…

And I’m sure a ton of gamers who will reward this behavior too.

    The gold edition of Star Wars Outlaws gets you three days of early access, ship and speeder cosmetics, and access to the “Season Pass.” That’s “two DLCs that will release after launch”, plus a single mission that’s exclusive to it for some baffling reason.

    The reason isn’t baffling. The reason is they are using FOMO to encourage people to spend extra money on preorders so they don’t feel like they missed out on something they couldn’t get otherwise.

    Abusing people’s fear of missing out is not baffling, but it is malicious.
