The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Collector's Edition Revealed

[KnightOfTruth]

Not everyone collects everything. Not everyone tries to get the "definitive" edition always - it's different strokes for different folks. Some people are satisfied with different versions of different games depending on where their emphasis lies in their collection - again, not everyone is the same.

Sure, we all want the most bang for our buck, but I wouldn't cancel a pre-order on a game that I was excited about a month ago, raving over what a great CE it was, because a slightly better version was being released because one platform "paid off" the publishers. It just seems a bit much to have a complete 180 on how you see the company and CE because there's something that changed on one platform...

It's almost (not exactly but close) like how many AC games have "exclusive" DLC that's only available on Sony platforms. I'm not as into DLC as physical goods, but some are. It'd be like canceling all your Microsoft pre-orders cuz you didn't get access to some exclusive missions (wouldn't it?)

Again, I understand why some people are "disappointed" but I don't see the cause for intense rage, spewing hate, and cancelled orders because of this.

Maybe I'm just missing something?

Secondly, it's not any old company. It's a company that stated it wouldn't do platform specific content. Yet here we are. And even if they didn't, it's still not acceptable.

I AM with you on that point though - they specifically stated on their forums months ago that there would be no "different CEs", so that in itself is definitely a reason to be upset since they blatantly went back on what they said. But still, I'm rather aghast at all the hatred-filled tweets, posts, and things I've seen all over the internet. I don't usually see this many things (it seems) with Xbox fans when Sony does exclusives, but between Tomb Raider and this, I'm just really impressed with all the backlash. The MS hate is strong!
