A ven diagram of modern gamers and the most gullible consumers on the planet would feature a depressingly large overlap...And no, I'm not entirely exempt from that sad group myself.

Wait, wait, wait! So even when you`ve bought everything you still have to buy the Beta?

No, it doesnt. It doesnt include:
lifetime season pass (i owe)
beta access (i owe)
game extras (i owe in most, you can buy it in store)
hope it helped

Just like an OBE
People don't pay to test, they pay to see the new stuff, BETA was always originally a bonus for the KS backers and PB backers.
I really don't care that FD are trying to make a buck out of it, it's a free world, if you don't like it, don't buy it, you will at some point get it anyway.

I'm saving my money for the Season 3 (or whatever) Alpha access offer....
I'm sentimentally attached onto the old bugs anyway, like "Hidden Contract" is my current favorite.
Other companies usually provide free Early Access or even incentivize users with in-game goods to compensate for their time and effort to stress test the pre-release builds to the largest extent possible. It's really no big deal, it's optional.

Ethical bankruptcy at its finest... Or worst.
There is no gun in your head telling you to get the BETA access. Regardless of your complains and exaggerations.
Honestly, don't like it, don't buy it.
The only way any company reacts to a practice is when people stops buying their stuff. If that is your intention a less self entitlement and a more pragmatical approach could have gotten you more support.
But now, you are an annoyance.

I Owe, I owe, it's off to work I go,
Well, we work, work, work
Well, we work in our jobs the whole day through
And when the tax-man's done we might have a buck or two....
You aren't really paying them to test, though. You have no obligation to report bugs once you've purchased beta access. People mostly pay to get a sneak peek at upcoming features.
Is that iphone owners by any chance?
Closely followed by anyone who buys Oil of Ulay. ( <- the "real" name for it, not this "Olay" nonsense
)And those who call "Gif" by the sound "Jif"... "Jif" is what you put on pancakes, or clean your sink with.
It's called capitalisme, it's not perfect but it works as intended. In these parts of the world we still use that system and until someone makes a new system that with proof works better, that is what we got

Easy. Wait until the early access Beta is finished and then you will be playing a beta version of 2.3 for the next month or two until FD throw in a bug fix and balance patch. That's how it works.
Nobody else is going to test it. If we don't test, it gets released as is. It's paying them for doing their work for them.
It's like getting your oil changed, and then being charged to check the dipstick yourself before you leave. It's sad.
However, I'm a free market capitalist. There's one born every minute. Just glad I'm not one of them.
5 dollars and you get It for presumably the whole season... I don't get it. Just skip out on a drink at starbucks.
Yes. I'm the biggest free market capitalist there is. Doesn't change how sad it is lol. I applaud FD for convincing people this is OK.It's called capitalisme, it's not perfect but it works as intended.

Maybe Starbucks will charge you extra to make sure the coffee is hot enough.
(Devlilsh grin) Think of it as a donation to the Dev fund with your $ and then another donation of your time and patience as a tester. Yes, feel proud, you are a true blue software testor!
And pretend that all the bugs you found and communicated are being fixed if not here then on another parallel field of consciousness involving a simultaneous ED guyme
....why stop there? Also pretend that for every bug you help squash, one actually legitimate QoL enhancement has been passed by the bored of ED for implementation!
Now go get em tiger

Maybe it's time to invest in some FD shares, they are good at making money it seems
No Starbucks wont do that, because someone can get burned and then they will get sued BECAUSE the coffee was HOT (never heard of hot coffee before)
