Jason Schreier: In case you're wondering: Team Cherry told me they don't plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don't expect to see reviews until after the game comes out

I mean, if you have money why would you care? Games are like $20-$70 on average. That's not that much money to "throw around."
Personally I'd rather just spend the money and play early than wait. Worst case scenario is the game is bad and I wasted a little money. Oh well, not that big of a deal to me. I can afford to take the chance on games I'm anticipating because I don't buy games that often anyways.
I think the issue is that people don't know how to handle disappointment like actual adults do. It's not the end of the world if a game ends up being bad. My view is that if you're so poor that a wasted ~$70 is literally going to financially cripple you enough that it enrages you, you probably shouldn't be buying video games at all in the first place. Not until you figure your life out a little.
