please don’t preorder deus ex: mankind divided guys. this is absolutely ridiculous, it’s like a kickstarter or something. do you really want this to be the future of the gaming industry? do you really want these companies thinking this kind of shitty practice is acceptable? you guys already know how expensive games are, imagine paying twice as much for each little shred of content before the damn game even comes out. please do not support this.
I don’t think you realize how the system works. The more people that preorder, the more things we all get. I don’t see a problem with that.
nope, i understand it fully. maybe you disagree with me, and that’s okay/you can have your own opinion, but i’ll explain to you what is wrong with this in my own opinion.
a) by pre-ordering, you’re literally doing this weird hybrid of gambling and crowdfunding your pre-order “bonuses” - “bonuses” that include in-game maps/missions, aka content from the game. there’s no guarantee the next tiers will even be hit because they require a large number of other people to pre-order ((and they likely won’t be, since the gaming community is overwhelmingly against this.))
b) you only get to choose one reward from each tier. so even by pre-ordering for these “bonuses” ((content that should’ve been included already)), you’re still missing out on stuff.
c) if enough people pay for this, the industry will think this is an acceptable practice that will make them early money. if you already know the terrible state pre-orders are in with chunks of the games missing for consumers who did not pre-order, you should know how detrimental this is to the market. people don’t have the money to pay for content that should already be in the games in this way, they hardly do already. $60+ and any missing content is unacceptable, this practice needs to stop.
d) it’s also the publisher spitting on the hard work of devs. the game now has a bad reputation/leaves a bad taste in the community’s mouth because of how anti-consumer this system is. it might be a great game. we don’t know yet. that’s the trouble with trusting these companies by pre-ordering.here’s a good video on this subject as well. basically, the pre-ordering process in the gaming industry is already shitty enough, and this process combines it all in one big garbage pile. we don’t have any idea how good games will be until launch, it’s been proven again and again how bad of an idea pre-ordering games is. the general consensus is that if we want better quality games, we need to stop pre-ordering them. i think we’re all guilty of pre-ordering sometimes for skins/costumes and whatnot, but especially in this case i hope that no one does it because this system is absolutely unacceptable and just cannot turn into a common practice. “bonus content” that includes actual parts of the game is not bonus content, it’s amputated content re-packaged as something extra.
