“Pirates? I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the gazillion sales we're about to make.” —Bethesda, probably

*Already made. They've got like 200k+ $100 deluxe version sales already, the base game hasn't even officially launched

The extra cost "early access" stuff just encourages piracy. I'm paying for gamepass, so I'm already paying for access in four days. I'm still tempted to pirate it. It's probably going to be a better product than dealing with Xbox crap on PC, but I could also play now.
