My least favorite gaming trend goes to Avowed, which means if you’re willing to pay a little extra money for it, you’ll be able to play five days early.
Video game company executives have really run out of ways to get you to pay more for their games, haven’t they? They couldn’t just leave it at microtransactions, live service models, expansions, deluxe editions and so on, they had to add an incentive like paying more so you could play before everyone else. “Oh look at this, you can brag that you played the latest video game before anyone else and it will only cost you a day’s wages!” Keep running! And yet the same trend will be found in Avoweda, just like recently in Obsidian the premium edition of the game is described in detailwhich yes, it will let you play the game five days in advance if you’re willing to spend $90.

Yes, that’s right, if you want to play it almost a week in advance, you’ll have to spend roughly a day’s wage for the premium edition. That’s not all you get, you get two premium skin packs as well as access to the game’s digital art album and soundtrack, but if we’re straightforward, that’s a bit of a bummer for that much money, isn’t it? You want me to give away that much money for next to nothing? Yes, I think I’ll skip the premium version, but good luck to those of you who finish the game early, hopefully the Elder Scrolls-style RPG won’t have any game-breaking bugs.
If you’re on Xbox Game Pass, you don’t have to pay for the game at all, as it’s been available on the service since day one (at the Ultimate tier, anyway), but you’ll still have to buy the premium edition if you’re so keen to play it sooner .
