[h=2]Deus Ex: Mankind Divided ‘Augment Your Pre-Order’ program canceled[/h]
Square Enix's reward-based pre-order system for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has been cancelled following negative consumer response.
A post on the game's official site explains the thinking behind both the cancellation and the "Augment Your Pre-Order" campaign itself. First announced by the publisher in August, the program offered tiered rewards. Each pre-order tier offered new rewards to customers. More pre-orders would unlock further benefits, leading up to the final tier which would push the game's official release date forward by four days.

Deux Ex: Mankind Divided is the latest AAA game to hold its biggest fans in contempt
"When it was first conceived," the post says, "[Square Enix and developer Eidos-Montreal] wanted the program to give you more choice about what you received in terms of pre-order incentives," citing dissatisfaction with past region-specific pre-order rewards.
Despite their good intentions, however, the companies "quickly noticed that this approach created even more frustration than before, resulting in a resounding amount of negative feedback."
In recognition of fan comments and concerns, all content previously exclusive to the pre-order incentive initiative will now be available both to those who pre-order the new Deus Ex and those who purchase its Day 1 edition.
The post concludes with an emphatic reassurance to consumers that "your feedback and input is of the utmost importance to us."
Those who wanted to circumvent the Kickstarter-esque system from the beginning could instead buy the $139.99 Collector's Edition of the game. This package, which is still available for pre-order, contains all of the physical and other benefits offered by the augmentation program.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will launch Feb. 23 for the PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said: -

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD

I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.

Gaben ki reach hai, PSN ki nahi hai. Gaben ain't stressing over publishers who rush to his store in the first place
