The Jimquisition: Mankind Derided

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is yet another victim of this industry's unchecked avarice. It's an ironic victim at that, given the series' themes.

So, let's chat about the preorder bullshit and microshenanigans that inevitably dominated the game's post-launch discussions.

Oh... oh Square Enix...

Has anyone else noticed how pointless that Augment Your Pre-Order promotion/scheme was because of the game's delayed release?? The promo stated that if the goal reached 100%, then the game would release a week early. That was supposed to be February. However, the game did not release until August. Freaking August! That is literally half a year of extra waiting. Yes, the game is good now. What would have happened if the promo goal was met back in February? If it took 6 months to get the game properly functional, then what would the studio have cranked out to consumers for the early release week? Would refunds be available if the game was a buggy mess, like Batman: Arkham Knight or Assassins Creed: Unity??

I never felt like I was psychologically pummeled with Dead Space 3, I thought the scavenger bots picked up material at a pretty decent rate.

Even if you decide to buy the microtransactions they are also only available for one save, so each save you need to buy more.
