Cashing out on your "release" of a game by charging $30 that is not that different than the $10 alpha people have been playing for a year, all while claiming that the game would continue to be updated which justified the $30 price tag, then dumping it on another person from your company less than a month after release. Seems classy. If EA or Activision did something like this people would be up in arms. Let's not make my presumption of a soon-to-be-apparent double standard true Kotakuites.
