Not saying you're wrong, but I'll just say a couple points.
The $25 per game is the Kickstarter early bird price. I imagine that the full retail version will be $40 like D:OS 1, which would make that $80 for the games and $45 of everything else.
The second difference is that the Blizzard CE is for a completed game. The Kickstarter package is meant to help fund the game, which means that it's priced higher than the value of the contents.
I considered all of that, but if they make the CE available for purchase later on closer to launch (as they did for D:OS), would it not also be at a higher price since it's no longer receiving an "early bird" pricing? I believe that happened last time as well.
Also, last time Larian sold a duo pack on Steam for $60, not $80. I would be surprised if they didn't repeat that practice for D:OS 2. So, if you want to compare post-Kickstarter pricing we're probably talking about $60 of game and somewhere in the neighborhood of $75 for everything else in that CE box (assuming a $135 price tag for non-Kickstarter CE pricing instead of $125).
That's all speculation, of course. The point is there were obvious disappoints in the CE for D:OS - people were very vocal about them when the CEs were delivered. It would be a nice change to hear extremely positive (and deserving) remarks this time around, and I would sure feel a lot more willing to invest in future collector editions from Larian. Otherwise, next time I'm just sticking with the $25 pledge for the base game. I don't want to be closing that CE box thinking
"well that was a huge waste" yet again.
