Hey, you're not gonna believe this, but the pricing issue got /WORSE/.
APPARENTLY, NOW THEY'RE SELLING THE "COLLECTORS EDITION" WITHOUT THE
GAME INCLUDED.

Why on EARTH would a fan ever spend 160$ to not even get the game they
wanted, and have to shell out an extra 80 DOLLARS on top of that?! THis
is honestly getting ridiculous, especially with how BL3 was recieved.

As terrible as it is, Gearbox isn't the first to do that. There have
been other games that have sold 'premium' editions that included
everything* /but/ the game (I think Ubisoft was famous for this).

Well, damn. I hope that doesn't spread, then.

I don't get it myself but I'm not the sort of person interested in all
the tchotchke2 and knick-knacks they sell anyway. I mean, there MUST a
market for it, but damned if I can understand the logic of buying all
that crap for a game I can't even play?

Maybe its for someone whos going to get gifted the game, or something?

* I say "everything" but often these super-premium editions are
divided up so there's no way you can get all the crap without buying
multiple versions because some items are exclusive to different
editions. Marketing people deserved to be scalped for shit like this.

Ah, my favorite. Splitting rewards up to get more money...
