That early access was a con too. Early access to an unfinished game. What a great deal 🤑 ---

I was a sucker also. Bought the deluxe, digital early. The regular edition is discounted a week after it comes out, not a good sign for future battlefield games being purchased early. I know I will wait. Still hoping the 12/4 update makes some major improvements to gameplay and makes my purchase feel a little more worthwhile. Right now, it’s meh. ---

I bought the regular version just about a week ago and now its on sale for at least $20 less?? That really left me with a stick it up my butt hard and dry feeling. ---

Maybe for some but not for others. $34 isn’t a big deal for some. Yes it was worth it for me. ---

Just because the physical copies were down doesnt mean that they didnt make up for that loss in digital copies. Nearly everyone I know on my friends list and twitter bought it digitally or had Origin Premiere or EA Access. Not to mention there were heavy incentives for the players to buy digital over physical. 5 weapons for BF 1, early access to play the game (PC players got to play it 11 days in advanced), and other goodies. ---

Digital sales are far more impactful these days which is why I imagine origin access has already done so well - people will buy it just to get early access to the game then likely buy the game immediately after digitally. > > Impulsive purchases are the name of the game these days. BF1 had digital sales too that don’t forget that. Its Not in the 60% less Sold copies Numbers. ---

Next game I am going to wait until the first major update, such as the one December 4th, and see if comments show improvements have been made. ---

> [@LeesSummit09](#): > > Next game I am going to wait until the first major update, such as the one December 4th, and see if comments show improvements have been made. Same here. I said the same thing with BF1 after I dumped a bunch of money into the premium deluxe version. I feel pretty stupid now. ---

It’s not right. But there’s nothing wrong about it either. They promised a good game so people paid for one, they just didn’t deliver. [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/battlefield-v-special-edition-is-a-rip-off/106009.md?page=1)
