Totalbiscuit has already torn this tiered BS a new one...
tiered rewards? 'augment your rewards' - more like "pick which of these rewards you want - because we won't give you all of them"
I get why they're doing it- they like money - but I hate that they're doing it, because this'll mean that the pirated versions of this will have all of this unlocked... which will only encourage people to pirate the game. I want this legit on steam, because I loved DE:HR, but as Gaben himself said:
"The best way to combat piracy is to offer a better service than they do" - and if you're locking away all kinds of content, that the pirates will no doubt unlock FOR FREE, then... you're doing it wrong.
As for the 4-day early release. This I am 100% behind. This is actually a fair reward IMO for pre-ordering. I get the issue of spoilers, but still I think its fair enough.
