Don't get me wrong, I feel like I got my money worth, But there are definitely instances that this would have been incredibly annoying to me. Let's say someone wasn't aware of this policy (because it's not common) and a group of a few people got it to play over the weekend. They buy it on Friday, it's available for play on Sunday-Monday. Great, plans ruined.
