Crysis 3 30% off - Serious backslash from the community

Post » Wed Mar 06, 2013 12:32 am

If I had preordered the game I would be pretty p***ed off right now

Id dislike, this but theres' no dislike button... so pre-ordering the game had no perks i take it... if we preordered it we just got svckered into paying top dollar... while 2 weeks after release the game drops to 30% off...
So you give discounts to the people who were like "eh" and not to the half a year in advanced pre order holders.... Well played. This is why you never pre order games anymore.
Talk about pissing all over people who preordered the game. Not happy. Not really happy with the game either, it's a bloody COD clone and not a Crysis game.
Discount so short after launch. In other words: Hey the game didnt sell as expected so lets throw in a discount to get more sales...
Thanks i will remember this the next time you bring a game out ,i will just wait a couple of weeks while playing a somewhat older game for you to come with the discounts ffs
Nice to know us preorder people are taken care of with full price items a week before its 30% off.
Wow guys, I am so glad I bought mine 2 weeks ago. especially since you now drop the price 2 weeks later. I really like paying more than I should. So what is the advantage for me to pre-order?? Oh thanks for the free copy of Crysis 1. I have only played that game 1000 times. Seriously, if you are going to drop the price so soon after launch, I won't be pre-ordering again.
I'm done Crytek. And it sounds like the Crysis Franchise is done too, if you are discounting so soon after launch. FAIL!
WTF EA? Why'd I spend 59.99 just the other week for you guys to do this? When did you guys unlock retard?

Meanwhile...

Yep, the game's sales were absolutely horrendous. It's very, very clear when you see how many people are actually playing MP. It's pretty sad when I can recognize everyone who plays on my PC server lol

A shame because I actually like it besides the poor balance and some design decisions

Luckily I got my preorder with 25% discount and a cool Crysis 3 t-shirt as a promotion. xD

Eh, this is kinda lame... but that's how the free market works: Make as much money as you can, as soon as you can... then watch the trends and figure out what it's going to take to continue making money. This happens to almost every consumer electronics product - just some happen sooner than others.

Except this is only hurting EA's already dying reputation, and killing their franchises one by one

No, not really unhappy.

Im enjoying the game and if devs are enjoying my $$ then we are both happy parties.

Besides I got my steelbook and C1 with the preorder (the preorder was 50€ itselt).
