#69 Is early access to a game worth extra money?
This ep was recorded right after Gamescom, but we swear it's still timely. For years, publishers have offered buyers a way to play a game early by spending more money. Is it ever worth it though? You either leave your friends behind and they need to catch up, or suddenly obligations get in the day during those 3 days and you could have just saved $10. Does it ever make sense to buy a digital deluxe edition of a game? Also. Nice.
