Wait, I don't understand what the problem is. If you order before a specific time, you get three free items. Would you rather the items not be given out at all?

Besides, it's coming out in July if I remember correctly, and the end date for ordering is September, over a month away.

It makes no sense hiding the work done by the developers simply to spite users who don't pre-order. I wouldn't be surprised if these items end up showing up in a free pack at another point or in a free update down the line after being repainted and given a different name.

They did this during TS3. They had all these bonus items and the ones that ticked me off the most were the objects hidden behind codes that were included in Dr Pepper bottles. This was back when I was younger and my parents didn't let me drink soda. So I used to have to use my school lunch money to buy a bottle of soda to try and get the code I wanted for this really cute beach car with a surfboard on top. I never got it and I'm still so mad about it.

But yeah, the items are available now, but they weren't while the game was still in development.

Preorder bonuses are done by other companies as well and some of those preorders are worth getting too and tangible but an very good game does not need carrots to sell itself. I do not necessarily see this as bad but more as an carrot or thank you to get the customer to preorder and sometimes it is better to bonus items.
