New level of pre-order bullshit - Updated

I don't understand what's the problem. I don't remeber Steam forcing me to pre-orden anything.

But well, people have the right to complain for every stupid thing they want.

I highly doubt they're gonna do this for every single pre order from here on out, this was probably something they just wanted to try, if they do it again they will likely only do it for extremely popular games(like xcom) or games that are really hyped up and look interesting to a lot of people. Like if a new Elder Scrolls game was coming out and they were still doing this they would probably do it for that, but if there was an indie game that is expected to be good they probably wouldn't because indie games tend to be purchased less.

I don't see a problem with it, I've seen pre-order bonuses for rockstar games change radically on steam(some better and some worse), how is this any different?

How come they don't have a bar for Dishonored? I got that preordered.

Am I the only one who's surprised and bothered to see that most people are fine with pre-ordering? I find this behavior almost mind-boggling. Especially considering that most games, both big and small, are crap. But then again, I almost never buy a game before its had its final patch.

As long as its some cosmetic bullshit, I dont give a damn. And screw hats too.

But if they were to have this with actually gameplay changing content... I would definitely agree that its bullshit.

who preorders games anyways?Only way i would preorder if it was a pychicall copy because those go away fast and if i was getting like bonus content that nobody else could get if they bought it on release date or after that was worth while to get.

I don't pre order after I pre ordered dead island and it turned out kicking a dead half eaten rat around a dead octopus in the middle of London with a French flag shouting bomb at a crazy person who has a gun that looks like you just slept with his mother is more fun.

I seriously don't know what the problem is. The fact that they are giving multiple rewards for the amount of pre-orders is pretty awesome. You're buying the game anyways, anything else is just a bonus (and not really important). No one is forcing you to pre-order, they're giving you incentives that you can look forward to.

Also, the percentages are probably encountering the same problem that Greenlight is. They're all over the place from one hour to the next.
