Is there a way to check if someone had bought paid access? Like, say I put a game up in BETA mode, and it was paid access. Those who buy access while it's up I want to have special ingame benefits when the game is officially released. Is there a method that checks this, or am I going to have to manually check who's bought access and reward them?

Easiest method would be awarding players who entered a game during Paid Access mode a badge, then discontinue after you release the game.

It is much easier checking a player for a badge then it is over Paid Access (Which, i dont think is possible)

Actually it does
If you buy a paid access game and comment, the yellow box next to you says you own the item, and it shows up in your places in your inventory

Random person, I just went to games and click paid access

Look in their items, under 'places' and 'purchased'

Yeah it works

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
print(game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PlayerOwnsAsset(plr,159034126))
end)

Prints true for me, and false for things I haven't purchased/don't own.

Use data persistence.

Player:SaveBool("Bought Access", true)

Disable the script after release.

then after the release:

if Player:LoadBool("Bought Access") == true then player bought access.

But we have a problem.

What if account gets hacked and the game gets deleted from its inventory? What will we do then D:

Ok, i agree it was an useless comment.
