The ultimate pro gamer move: let the early adopters beta test the game for you while you sit back sipping tea. By year three, the devs have finally fixed the game-breaking bugs they shipped on day one, all the DLC is out, and Steam sales have knocked the price down to what it should've been originally. You're basically getting the "Game of the Year Edition" experience while those poor souls who pre-ordered paid $60 to be unpaid QA testers. It's like waiting for production to fix all the bugs before you merge to main—except you're getting paid in discounts instead of merge conflicts.

The divorce papers probably just read "Creative differences - specifically his belief that 'it's an investment in the future.'" The rest of us are just waiting for version 3 when it actually becomes useful and costs half as much.
