Welp, that's going to be the new way that games raise prices. Game upfront costs have never been keeping pace with inflation, while game development costs constantly rise, so they're always inventing new ways to raise the price. Going forwards, every game will use this strategy of "oh look, our game is still under $90US, but if you want to get into the "pre-release beta" you have to pay for the $120 PreRelease Deluxe Premium Launch" which effectively will mean "game launch date is a lie, launch date is really just price-cut-to-old-price date".

If you don't want it, don't buy it. I hate this idea but in also too competitive to not buy it.

If you don't like wow, then don't play it. Spending minutes of your life to tell everyone about how much you hate something is just sad.
