2042 Preorder exclusives?

Am I wrong to think that people who spent $110 on pre-ordering ultimate edition should get something in game that sets them apart from everyone else including those that subscribe to Play Pro? I mean that is a big commitment to put out there just to have people who didn't spend that for one game to get the same things. I'm not bragging or like waving my money in the air.... Its like people who give more towards a kickstarter.... They get things the lower tiers do not. Am I the only one who feels this way? I mean I did get something with this game i did not expect to get ... but I don't think that was because of my pre-order.

    people, myself included, have pre-ordered the game and we understand the risks associated.

    @UP_HawxxeyeI read your post just fine. You say it's a buyer's right to do with their money as they will. True. It's also a company's right to do what they will with their money and products, too. If you were being forced to buy it, it would be a different conversation, but you are not.

    You want to use government force to make people give you want you want--even though you have no investment to risk, you never did any hiring, didn't research for the game, never developed any part of it, didn't build the headquarters, never hired contractors to get work done, didn't do any coding, graphic design, promotions...or anything else. They did all of the work, and spent all of the money to make it happen, and you walk in and say that government should force (bully) them to sell it to you the way you personally prefer. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.

    Companies--which are made up of equally-created people, just like you and I--should be able to sell and promote their products any way they choose. And you should never be forced to buy anything you don't want. That's freedom, on both sides.

    Again, if you don't like the way a company does their business, you have the freedom to keep your money and not buy it--or buy something else, or nothing. No one is forcing you to do a single thing. You simply want to be able to force companies to do what you want, by your own personal standards--and I completely disagree with that.

    The only question is this: Are you going to stand by your principles, and not buy it until you have done your homework on the game (as any consumer should), or are you going to cave and preorder it to get the incentives being offered (which is why they are offered, in the first place)?

    It's your choice. Choose wisely.

    @ChugKendallMyself 2 years ago would had pre ordered.
    Myself now will chose to wait and see.
    Even if I am almost sure I will buy it at some point (once I get my next PC or if we get another bargain), I do not want to contribute to their pre order numbers.
    Plus thanks to the blooming Ethereum miners, the GPUs have not yet droped in reasonable prices for the PC I plan to build.
