The pre-order program for the upcoming game “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided” has officially been cancelled. With this step the publisher “Square Enix” reacted to the negative feedback by the consumers.
The main idea behind the pre-order program was to make the pre-order rewards dependent on the quantity of pre-orders. The rewards were seperated into five tiers, as visible in the diagram below. So if not enough people would have donated, the tiers won’t be unlocked and so would be the content you would get for preorder.
In my opinion it’s a good sign that Square Enix has reacted to the community’s criticism. All pre-orders and day-one purchases will get all contents which had been included in the tier four.
