FFS, all these people saying we haven't paid for early access are just flat out fanbois and will never admit the truth.
Here is what it says on the Origin store about the 'Pre-order FEE':
See what it says at the top? PRE-ORDER FEE and then below that EARLY GAME ACCESS which means I have paid £5 for early game access as has everyone else. But I am sorry I find it totally unfair if someone else who happens to have ordered theirs in July gets even 1 more minute play time than me. IT ISN'T FAIR.
I have never seen this in any other MMO's EGA.
