    Early access is a product. Your comment is asking for laws to prevent this product from existing. You are asking for early access products to be illegal. Your comment is literally that stupid. Not a single part of any of my comment has to do with the ethics of this practice, so stop lying to me about my own comments.

      WoW is a service. You could almost call this expansion a product. Charging extra for three lousy days of early access is not a fucking product and not really a service either. It’s gouging. It’s charging extra just because you can get away with it. And market forces let companies get away with that, in a game that already takes fifteen dollars per month, so saying ‘just don’t encourage it’ would obviously accomplish zilch.

      I’m accusing you of lying because you want to make it sound like I said “ban WoW” and not “just charge the normal amount the day of like any other product for fuck’s sake.”

      You’re accusing me of lying because apparently you don’t know what discussing ethics means. I mean this as literally as possible: what the fuck do you think you’re doing? What activity are you engaged in, here and now? Do you just hit the keys because you like to hear them go clickity-clack?
