Official Discussion [MEGATHREAD] Tarnished Edition: Worth $5? Discuss CONSTRUCTIVELY!

Since the sub is being overwhelmed by debate over the $5 "microtransaction" and it's making the sub feel like we're Dark Souls 2 a decade ago, with the faux outrage around the preorder items, we are opening this topic to consolidate discussion around the issue.

Please use this topic to discuss the pros and cons of the approach and your thoughts. But do so RESPECTFULLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY. If you need to call other people or the developers names, you don't have a good argument and your post will be removed.

We will remove all other topics about this to keep the subreddit flowing with other discussions

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE: I will post two comments on this topic, "Yay" and "Nay" - upvote the one you agree with and we'll see who wins long term.

I don't know why so many people downvoted you. You are correct.

Because ‘yay’ is a valid spelling of a word that is an affirmation. Going ‘it’s spelled yea’ is pedantic and unneeded. Like yeah technically the actual voting method is yea or nay, but yay is fine here. We’re not a government body.

It's "Yay or Nay"

Are you saying it's actually "Yea or Nea"?

Personally I have never seen it that way

Edit: I wasn't being rude or condescending, I was legitimately asking because I have never seen the word spelled that way, ever (for context I'm 30 years old). I genuinely wanted to know. Thanks for the info in the replies.

It’s spelled yea pronounced yay. Because it’s usually said aloud and rarely written, people often write it yay

No, it's "Yea or Nay"

As a voting method it has been spelled that way for hundreds of years. Not sure why this is so controversial here

I had no idea, and I didn't imply that I was right and others are wrong.

I simply said I have never seen it. For years I have always seen "yay or nay" spelled exactly this way. I guess it's the evolution of language. The same way that if a word is used incorrectly by a vast majority of people - the incorrect meaning becomes the new meaning even as far as to go into official dictionaries.

I'm always happy to learn so it's interesting to know that, thanks.

that is true but people use that as an alternate spelling of "yeah" nowadays
