We, the people who pre-ordered the game, got royally shafted; no doubt about it.
I have ALL of the problems listed in these forums, first I could not sign in, then when it did, did not hold my key or accepted my pre-paid code.
The whole point of pre-ordering was, in multiplayer to be ahead of the people who did not pre-order. At this point, I must be WAY behind people who got the game after release (assuming their copies work properly). So, where does this leave us limited edition owners? Crytek owns us our money's worth, that's where.
I am looking forward to hearing something official about how they will be compensating us. Because, at this point, just fixing the game will not be enough, since that was not what we pre-paid for.
Don't get me wrong, I hold no grudge against Crytek, I know that *hit happens despite all good intentions and hard work. I am sure that they worked hard, and they must be VERY upset, I bet more than we customers are, since this is how they MAKE their money. But business is business, and my money is still the money I spent under certain conditions, which could not be granted for one reason or another. It is my right to demand my money's worth; and I do.
