This seems to be the general attitudes of people in this thread:
Majority of alpha buyers have some form of superiority complex, and feel like they're better than everybody else because they bought the game earlier.
Majority of beta buyers are whiny people with no money, because obviously they can't afford to pay a couple bucks for optional DLC that we don't even know how much will cost.
And then a few people who don't care, and are trying to end this argument.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
We think were better than Beta buyers because were Genetically Different. :cool.gif:

Yup, that's the gist of these threads. I took one look and was like "Oh, no, not this again."
I'm sorry, but us Alpha buyers (Especially August and before that buyers) deserve something for we supported Notch before it became big. His thanks to us is no cost on DLC, don't see a problem.

Early buyers, especially people pre-survival test (ahem) dropped ten bucks on the game just to support development, the only thing we got was a custom skin. In early alpha Notch still wasn't sure where he was going with Minecraft and people took a gamble supporting it still. In beta, the game is a massive hit and a purchase is not a risk or very beneficial to Mojang (without the early pre-purchases/survival test/alpha buyers, Mojang wouldn't have been able to hire more programmers to expand Minecraft).
Basically, people who pre-purchased the game did it to support Mojang, people who bought the beta game did it to play Minecraft. HUUUGE difference.
tl;dr
I think this thread has gone on long enough.
Is anyone even complaining besides the people who complain about people complaining that haven't complained at all lately?

I don't see why anyone who bought it in alpha would feel superior to those who bought it in beta. I have also never seen a thread made by someone who bought it in alpha claiming to be superior to those who bought it in beta. The only threads I've seen are people who bought it in beta bitching about how they might have to pay $5 for DLC of an Indie game, and playing the "unfair" card from in elementary school. This thread in itslef WAS just a beta buyer bitching about the world not being fair, and pretty much flaming anyone who pointed out his obvious stupidity on this topic. I bought the game in alpha, and I think its cool that we get free upgrades and stuff, but IF I had bought it in beta, I definitely wouldn't waste my time and other peoples time by whining about a decision the developer made BEFOREI had even bought the game! The person I just quoted does have a point about the alpha and beta buyers who do treat this situation unwell, though, and he gets my agreement.
I know this is my first post but what about the beta ppl.
Yes we paid double the price for a beta game,not even a finished product.
Tbh i think the beta buyers should get at least the first dlc for free,alpha ppl still keep the same contract.
But still beta players should have at least a little privilege for supporting a beta at least.
It's just a shame how the alpha players are responding in this thread.
The attitude is i'm ok jack i don't give a monkeys about the others who paid double the price.
Not making a flame post or out,just saying ppl who bought the beta would like a little loving too.
Actually, that sounds fine to me.
Beta get's first DLC free, and rest for money.
Alpha's get all free.
Don't see the problem.

@ Tafman we do get something, its called a discounted price from the release version
and the ability to play the game before it is finished
cant wait for all the bitching threads from the release purchasers who had to pay full price and pay for DLC, i mean those whiny brats deserve something other than the game they paid for too right?

alpha buyers paid for a game that may never have gotten out of alpha phase, thats why they got a further discount
when we purchasd in beta (thats right im beta too), it was pretty damn clear that this game would be a finished product sooner or later. Hell even in its current state it was well worth the money

You paid less for the finished product.

I'm a beta user and I'm not complaining.
