Wow you can support abusive work practices, transphobia, AND GamerGate all at once for just $43 what a steal
If I didn't already have the pre-order discount and incentives from Best Buy I'd probably go with the boxed version from there for $50, though IIRC most other retailers are also selling it for that low.
I forgot about Playasia's history until now. Yea, not supporting this garbage.
Good for no DRM but I am gonna wait it out for a complete / GOTY editions like I did for the witcher series
Yeah, gonna just save my $43. Fuck the leadership at this company.
I honestly have no idea where I'm playing this yet, so, just going to hold until closer to release. Good deal though.
It's $61.99AUD which I think is the cheapest Aussie price, so anyone keen should jump on it.
Edit: region free too

Retailer Play Asia labels Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 saga 'SJW nonsense' - MCV/DEVELOP
Import specialist Play Asia has chosen to use a pro-GamerGate anti-equality hashtag in its response to this morning's Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 news. - MCV/DEVELOP

I was thinking about this.Morally, would it be cool to go greymarket (key resellers) for this game? Dont support the devs but still get the game?
After it was announced that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 wasn't going to have a US version, in part due to a deserved backlash over ridiculous female characterization (yes, even for DoA), PlayAsia tweeted this:

Yikes.
Yep. I'm not about to support one terrible company by buying their game from another terrible company.
Around the time of DOAX3's release their following list was almost entirely GamerGaters and the alt-right. They were actively promoting some of these people. Their initial allegation was that feminists wanted to stop the consumer getting their hands on the game and they were bravely fighting back by offering imports for sale.
Never used them myself, so I don't know how you'd be sure none of your money goes to CDPR, but I don't see how it's that different from buying a used physical, so there's a fair argument here.
I encourage anyone who wants to play the game for the purposes of cultural critique and awareness of how it handles certain things to go the used route and speak out on here and elsewhere with examples of what the game does wrong (or right, if it manages to hamfistedly do something right).
I remember some dev speaking out about them and saying they'd rather people pirated a game than get it from key resellers, though that might have been meant in a facetious way.
Thinking about it the keys have to come from somewhere still, so I guess the devs would have gotten money at some point.
Well, it's DRM free. If that's the plan you could achieve it without giving the money to "people who somehow have keys that don't support the devs at all" - which should only be possible if they are criminals.
(I know not all grey market keys are stolen, I use things like cdkeys myself, but in the scenario in which the devs really don't get any money, the keys have to be stolen. And of course, stealing the game wouldn't make you any better and you shouldn't do it, but it would be more consequent.)
They emailed this last week, so should be coming in the next few hours.
Since this has been answered, there's not much to discuss here, so the thread is locked.
