Getting all ranty like this is new. Tiered pre-order bonuses is nothing new, neither is early access for pre-orders. This is all old news. Give it a fortnight after release and they'll all be bumming the game like this never happened.

OP was complaining about tiered pre-order bonuses and early access. Both of these have been commonplace for quite a while now. Regardless of what some internet celebrity has to say on the issue this isn't a new practice. In fact it's not even an early access type bonus it reads to me as once they get so many pre-orders they'll bring forward the release date.

Now thats a valid point I can get with but not one that was actually bought up here. But to be honest you won't use all the in game items as they won't suit your playstyle and is much rather have a soundtrack sampler than an art book I'll never look at. It'll all get released down the line anyway.

While I certainly enjoy that developers are trying so much to milk the gamers that the shitty game costs 60$, then half-one year later it's patched and I can get it even in a bundle (Thank you, SQenix for Thief and the others!) but this is incredibly bad for gaming culture as a whole. While the digital content is a godbless, it's also where we're damned - because they can release day 0, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 patches to fix something that should have been working from the first second it release. Sadly technology gave the opportunity to publishers and devs to be slappy with their games.

All the more reason to wait. If you're more than a digital collector and actually try to play the games you buy regularly; then you end up with a ton of games in the backlog. I have a list of games on my "next up" category that is at least 40 games long. Aside from multiplayer games that need to have a player base that could go away in time, there is very little downside to waiting for a cheaper price or a more stable game.
I figure I'll get today's games on sale eventually while playing the games I bought during the 2013 Steam summer sale.

So if I preorder can I customize the preorder so nobody can preorder or is that not how preorder works?

I don't care. I will buy the goty edition in 2-3 years for 7-10euro and play it after another 1-2 years... Also, I don't think big companies care about "youtubers" or gaming websites rants, since these people are the minority and most of them will buy the game anyway.

Curious to the order in which to play all these in... I wanted to replay the older two and play the newer ones in timeline order, not developed order... I was about to start, but then I heard about the new one, I guess I'll set the whole thing to backlog for awhile, since it will take some time for any type of complete version of the newest one to come out, if it ever does...
So... from what I've read timeline order would be...
The Fall (which I've been told is so bad, it shouldn't exist :)
Human Revolution
Mankind Divided (which I won't be buying pre-order he-he)
Deus Ex
Invisible War

I will wait till they release the version with all the DLC some year later, no hurries, even if Deus Ex is my favorite franchise at the moment.

i was excited for the game until this
now my excitment as dropped quite a bit
oh well, time to go back playing the classic first one I guess (and probably human revolution too now that were at it, since Invisible Wars is a PITA to get to work)

Lets be real. They do this because people fall for it. And you just know that that final reward, the 4 day earlier access, is the icing on the cake.
Thats what is pushing it, people hoping they may get the game 4 days earlier.
You don't want to support this stuff? Don't buy the game.
I'm not saying don't pre-order, I'm saying don't get it AT ALL.
Do not support companies that continue this behaviour time and time again.

Basically: the more pre-orders the more bonuses, and most important the top tier prize is the people who preordered play the game 4 days early
