As long as those editions are optional, I think it's okay for there to be choices. They make absurd collector's editions because they always sell, always!

On the other hand, the failure rate of AAA games is at an all-time high. So it's a huge risk to buy a 1.0 of anything based on a carefully edited trailer.

Honestly, it's the failure rate and quick fizzle out that's got me waiting with any game.

Bethesda and Starfield did it to me. Still feel bamboozled by buying that day one. I love RPGs, I love space, I love crafting, but it just fell so damn flat. And then all the rhetoric and displeasure of Dragon's Dogma 2 and mtx. It's a no for me.

But then again, I have a hard time splitting from my money since I don't have a lot of disposable income, so I prefer to make the wisest ROI choice I can.
