Proud owner of The Witcher 3 Collector's Edition here.
It was the year 2015, i went to my local GameStop on 19th May, the shop assistant pulls of a GIGANTIC BOX with the Witcher logo. I almost cry. In order to take that box at home i had to sit it in the passenger seat inside my car, and put the safety belt.
After that day, i thought. I'm going to grab Cyberpunk 2077 Collector's Edition, no matter the cost. I already know it will be really a product of quality, rightly prices. As all CDPR products. Flashforward to last week, i come back home 1 hour after the date announcement at E3. After watching the trailer i reach Amazon to check out the CE. "Out of stock"
"Damn, they haven't updated it, i'll check it out later. On their official website it says 'coming soon'.
No big deal, after all, when they unveiled The Witcher 3 Collector's Edition AND release date they clearly stated when preorder would open." I go to sleep at peace with myself, trusting CDPR.
It's been 5 days without ANY statement on the matter, the truth is, the collector's edition was already sold out when i first checked. This leaves me extremely disappointed.
As i said, TW3 was handled WAY better.
Private event, we all knew something big was to be announced (or maybe even said what was to be shown, i'm not sure), after that, preorder open.
In all this, i'm typing from Europe. I can't even express how vexed i was when i read about NA PC version.
This whole thing was handled way poorly.
I don't care if it's Namco Bandai's fault, or Warner Bros (is that the NA publisher?), it's a CDPR product, they made a name out of customer care, and fairness and all that revolves around the preorder of this Collector's Edition is the exact opposite of it.
Hurts to say, because i'm a great supporter, but it's what i felt.
Side note:
Cutting out NA PC was a sucker punch.
