Is this a joke thread?

Do I need to apologize for having the money to spend on it when other dont? I don' t feel that I do as I made decisions in my life that have gotten me to a point where I can spend $140 on a video game. I'm perfectly ok with being rewarded for those decisions by having a bigger gun than others. I know I suck so killing people because I bought a bigger gun is somehow very rewarding to me.

Why are you do defensive about this? I just don't see anyone caring. It's on a website dedicated to the game that is your hobby.

It isn't even pay to win. Pay to be the first with certain items, pay to look pretty, pay to accumulate points faster. None of that is going to make somebody a better shot, or improve their tactics. Heck, it may reduce their potential to have fancy specialized toys before they know why they would wanna use them, and how to use them best.

I'd have to say that the Founder package was a bit cheap in my opinion. Especially when games like Mech Warrior roll out with like 120$ packages, etc.

If you still have money to throw at them there will probably be 3 pretty expensive editions with a MAX figurine, not to mention SOE live.

okay calm down sir, so who's been stealing your thought?

While I realize devs need to get paid, it doesn't mean I have to like the business model. I don't like pay-to-win and I really don't like some PR stooge trying to tell me how to define pay-to-win so it doesn't encompass their pay-to-win game.

EGOPIG was trying to be funny, Alpha Squad isn't actually pay to win.
