though this was gonna be about launch and ultimate editions
i honestly don't care if people are willing to pay extra to play something early.

What about all the studios open that don't use this poor method?
yes, and Assassin's Creed 3 remastered and Liberation remastered
Gamers literally destroyed Andromeda because of the graphics. It failed because of the uproar about facial and character animations. So yeah, scaling back the graphical fidelity of games to halt the non-profitibility of big games isn't going to happen anytime soon.
Look, I'm going to blow your mind:
You were always able to buy a game on day 1 at full price or wait a few weeks for used/discounts/deals.
It was always about paying more to play earlier.
At some point some publisher probably thought " Seeing as day 2 or 3 are jot good enough for gamers we should try asking for an extra to play the game on day -3...holy shit, they're actually buying it lol!!"

This doesn't really disprove what I said, scaled back visuals/graphics, and bad animations are different things.
As long as people are impatient enough to buy it then, well fuck it. I can't blame them lol. It's not like the publishers are dropping copies down your chimney like a Santa Claus who steals all your groceries on the way out. Just... Wait 4 days people.
I would only consider paying an extra to play early for stuff I'm REALLY into.
Hence, I do that all the time with Final Fantasy XIV's expansions.
I would also consider it with:
Any other major FF or KH game.
Probably some of the Sony 1st party games.
But that's pretty much it. I couldn't care less about the rest.

Does the staggered release hurt a game like Forza? I checked the amazon and found Forza Horizon 4 at the following rankings...
#192 Standard Edition - October 2nd
#82 Ultimate Edition - September 28
#3,399 Deluxe - October 2nd
GP aside I think tiered release date is breaking the momentum at retail.
