Here's what happened. It wasn't getting enough pre-orders to justify that bullshit and rather than make it look like a flop, they made it appear as though they care about us.
Fuck Off guys- thanks.
Translation:
Our projected pre-order numbers are not being met by a significant margin, so we are changing the thing that people complained about
The bean counters definitely asked for this. Marketing delivered a warm turd in a hamper.We never asked for this.
For those people who think this was done in response to low preorder numbers...you guys obviously have no idea how these marketing ploys work. They gave no exact numbers so in any case these incentives would have "unlocked" anyway. There's been a fair share of games on steam that have done this before. Obviously its a sleazy marketing gimmick that i dont necessarily agree with but there is an unvloiced agreement that they will always reach their goal.
I don't doubt it. Still, it's good they fixed it, and relatively quickly and without much arguing. More importantly, it's good that enough people didn't buy into this thing and really did hold off pre-ordering to make a noticeable dent.
Don't think it's the fans who they heard. More likely Boogie2988 and TotalBiscuit. Both slammed their scheme, hard. Justified-ly so.I didn't have a problem with it but it's nice to hear that they listen to fans. I've had the CE preordered since it was announced anyway so it doesn't really matter.
The cynic in me can think of all sorts of reasons to why they've worded it like they have but it's Deus Ex, it's Eidos Montreal, it's Square Enix. They've never gave me reason to doubt them before so I won't now.
Should be a box quote for the game.Get fucked SE and Eidos

Always has to be something to bitch about eh
A shitty idea was abandoned, who cares, it's a good thing
Its always good to adults act like children over video games.Get fucked SE and Eidos
In a nutshell, yes.So no need to preorder, as the same contents will be in the Day 1 Edition.

I suppose we just found out what's going to be next Jimquisition's main topic too, right?

The final tier unlockable reward was the most vile thing ever. It was essentially: give us money in exchange for an early release. I hate stuff like that. Most people should.We were going to get everything either way. Hard to care one way or another.
Please don't shit on companies when they damn listen.
If it's never good, why would they ever listen again?
You still have to preorder which is bullshit.
This. I wonder how bad the numbers looked for them to fold like this.Here's what happened. It wasn't getting enough pre-orders to justify that bullshit and rather than make it look like a flop, they made it appear as though they care about us.

Consumers win for once? What is this madness.
Except nothing was stopping them from fudging the numbers. They never claimed how many preorders were required for each tier.
It's not factually wrong, There is multiple instances of this same thing happening and people were okay with it.Are we starting with this factually wrong nonsense again?
