Well I can afford it for one.
So can they.
Two, it is a finished game and I can do whatever I want in my leisure with it, and if buying goodies makes me happy then I will do so.
They can do whatever they want in their leisure with it, and if buying an early access makes them happy, then what's the problem? They still get to play the full game after it releases. Hell, they bought it cheaper than it will be when it releases. Participating in making the game is also an upside, not a downside, because they can say what they like or don't like so technically developers can make the game better.
You payed money for a demo. Probably doesn't even count as a beta. You PAID money to help a developer by giving them critiques and ideas. You've commited the worst sin of all. What you've done is worse than working for free, like Crispy. No, you PAID to do the developers job for them.
You paid (not "payed", you uneducated savage) for items. Not an expansion. You gave away MONEY for some stupid ITEM. Not even a GAME (early access or otherwise). And I wouldn't even mind that, because it's your money. You can burn it for all I care.
BUT
I do have a problem with a dumb fuck who's denigrating other people's money-wasting choices while being no better himself. You have no leg to stand on here, hypocrite.
For the record: I don't even own the game. I am waiting for the full release to see how it is. And I am not sure I will buy it even then. My experience with Divinity series wasn't that good. Hence me watching how it goes from the sidelines.
No. You've proven that all of your ratings were justified.
