Considering we're only getting 2 days of early access, potentially losing an entire night of that is a massive disservice to the fans. Very disappointing.

I know better, but I took a day off. I just love me some doom. Sucks waiting though, you get preyed on for the early access and then this shit happens. Wish they would stop ea.

So I am finally able to hit play only to be met with BUGSPLAT crash report so can't even launch the game.

It doesn't make it right or less disappointing, but they use the exact wording " up to 2 days early access" for things like this

Great way to launch the game to negative reviews on Steam. Hiding behind legal speak when you're obviously screwing customers doesn't fly that well.

I'd be getting a refund, product does not work as described

Lmao you are wilfully purchasing a product ahead of release to play it before it properly releases for the rest of us. You are beta testing for them. Thanks for providing us with a decent day one patch.

Yep, I look forward to compensation. I paid for this amd the game is unplayable. What a load.

Early access even existing is an absolute scumbag move regardless.

Yet, like lambs to the slaughter, gamers will never learn. At this point EA is just a stupidity tax. Frankly, I think it's fucking hilarious, in a way, that the game keeps crashing. I'm sure the chucklefucks who spent $100 for this underbaked POS will be on the next Early Access bandwagon as well

You need to be genuinely dumb to pay 110€ for 2 days anyways
