Just my two cents on the hate. I somehow missed seeing anything about this game until a month ago, so I missed the opportunity to get any bonus items. I think it would be cool to be able to buy them as an extra, but that's mostly because I'm wunnerfitzich and would love to know what they are. But you know what? I am totally buying this game when it comes out, because it sounds absolutely amazing. Oh boo hoo hoo, I can't get extra stuff. So what? It sounds like the game will offer plenty of playability, and replayability if I understand it correctly.
Freaking out over bonus items is, IMO, dumbness. I hope you can buy it as a gift too, because I'll also be buying it for a friend who probably hasn't even heard of it yet. But I know he'll dig it. No wait! I'll only do that if you give me a rainbow sword of unicorn summoning because I've always wanted a game with a rainbow sword of unicorn summoning, plus five, but no game has ever had one! Give me my plus five rainbow sword of unicorn summoning or else! I will throw a tantrum like a three year-old and refuse to have anything to do with anybody!
That there's called mockery, and that's about what the stance of not buying the game because somebody else got bonus thingies as a reward and you didn't deserves. I can't wait for the game to be out and like I said, I only heard about it like a month ago. But from what I've seen, as I've mentioned, you've got two definite sales from me. I hope your game does really well, in both markets. It certainly sounds like it deserves to.
