es dumb consumers exist, but that isn’t a free pass for corporate exploitation or false advertising.

Except I didn't see where they advertised that people were going to be able to join the alpha with no restrictions, and I don't see this as "exploitation" at all. People want to play these games first. I don't get why, but they do. And they are being given that opportunity.
