[QUOTE="Narc0lep5y, post: 296942, member: 5223"] The ticket thing is a scam but the responses that Mel has put up about it being the way they can charge for single tables instead of packs is ludicrous and he's rightly called out for it. It's also a distraction from the fact that this is for a game in EARLY ACCESS. Which means premium pricing for an incomplete game. Sure, Pinball Royale and cabinet mode is missing but what else? I'm sure it's not just missing all the previous tables, but game adjustments, balancing and other features. But hey, we'll give you a 33% discount to help us balance those tables on our unfinished game. Or we'll let you pay us $100 for a year subscription with the promises of added value down the line, but we might not even have the game done in a year either. Just wait until they change course and turn all of those purchases people made into a "these were a contribution to game development because you bough in early access" argument. The whole thing is shady. It's just feels wrong, and for so many to sniff it out should be a huge red flag to Zen. It's your money and spend it how you choose, but buyer beware. edit - also, it's a good thing it's not on Steam because user reviews would almost certainly crush them, like they do for the other companies that pull this shady stuff. Conveniently, the EGS doesn't have user reviews. [/QUOTE]
