That's going to come down to a debate (which has happened on these forums before) about the value of Kickstarter versus Steam Early Access, both of which were financially important to the game's development. Divinity : OS wouldn't be the game it is now without the additional funding from both platforms.
However, having that debate on these forums would be pointless, as 1) most of the active posters here are Kickstarter backers and this isn't exactly neutral territory, and 2) the
"earlier bird gets the worm and then some" mentality and how it applies to rewards is unusually strong with gamers.
Let's just say I don't hold Kickstarter funding to the same superior level over SEA funding that others tend to do, and leave it at that.
well actually you triggered this debate again pointing out on THAT topic that it was unfair that KS backers and SEA buyers does not get the same thing at the same price...
1) The question regarding CE's had come up before when SEA began, but Larian Studios only seemed willing to touch on it much more recently.
2) There was no way for someone to be a fan "collector" with the physical CE *and* join SEA "for the right reasons" (to help provide feedback on an project they liked) without paying for the game multiple times.
@ Gyson and @Stabbey as I said in earlier posts, back in time the CE did not include what it included today, and to be honest I was a bit disapointed by that "too classical" CE. Then Larian said that they will possibly make another collector edition but they did not really think about it. They never said that this eventual collector edition would be shipped to the one who pledged on the KS physical collector.
And that is why I decided to buy the simplest edition to get the KS features and to buy then the collector edition, personally I don't complain, I did it on purpose
so See Gyson, I am a fan, I supported Larian for what you call the "right reason" and I will still buy the collector
oh and PS : if you don't wanna "scale" the importance of KS vs SEA, just see them as 2 special offer you can get at 2 different time : is it normal that during a sale weekend people will get the same game than you for a lower price?!
a Last thing, check your maths
:
1 key from your original pledge (KS, or SEA)
2 keys from the CE
you can sell 2 keys
