This is part of it for sure , but i also think people are massivly overrating this factor , as well as the sunk cost fallacy . I mean , 10 ish million tried the beta ? And a lot didnt really fall for it and moved on . The game is great , but not everyone skipped hots because they where misinformed . <| sep |> Might be a cultural thing ? Growing up in Denmark , and throughout my school life , I have encountered someone cheating maybe two or three times . If you fail a test , you fail . The world won ' t end . But then again , our school time is free , and grades are only really important to get to the next level of schooling , like a University course . And who would want to go there if they weren ' t interested in learning .
