ast486: I'm glad to hear they didn't influence the game itself. :-)
True enough; one bad thing can ruin rep for everyone, even if it was one persons decision.
Only one more question...
In that video, the guy states that the collectors edition didn't include the game.
Was that true or false?
Manywhelps: The Collector's Box doesn't, no. We didn't call it a Collector's Edition, it was supposed to be a box of cool stuff that people could buy (including people who bought digitally). In the end we're going to rename it because people keep associating it with a Collector's Edition, which was kind of the opposite of what we wanted.
It was my decision not to ship the game with it, Gearbox explained the options and I made the call. Adding a game and calling it a collector's edition would have increased the price by >$60 (partly due to the cost of the game and partly due to having to create and ship additional versions of the box). More and more studios are shipping Collector type things without the game (for reasons I unfortunately can't get into), and we based this off the Injustice 2 and Mass Effect Andromeda versions.
Huh that is wierd.
I've not heard of that sort of thing before.
That name is sort of misleading since most full boxes are phonetically similar, as you've noticed.
Well thanks for the info.
I'm still not going to preorder the game, but I'm now going to just wait and see how it plays in youtube videos once it's out.
If I like how it plays, I'll get it later. :-)
