Dear Devs!
The basic idea is not a bad one! Fans - who care about this kind of stuff - can get another collectible. Someone who haven't got the main game (and the DLC, of course) can get into the game with already armed with The DLC. Also, Xbox players who like to own their games physically (which I do, too, just with PC) can get it. These are good things, but!
You need to communicate what's in this far better, transparent! What's in the boxes for PC and Consoles - codes or Disks? This should have been in the first post by you, not something we need to search! Also, what can players who got the main game or even the DLC can get out of this? If you aren't exactly transparent and clear about this, then that could give people a bitter taste about the whole thing. Sure, casual players (as in: consumer behavior) who just grab the game because they read it that it's good won't care about who made it. It's different for those who care about this kind of developer/publisher behavior - those you could get as long term consumers. You won't, though, if you aren't transparent.
Also, I understand that this is the announcement of the Ultimate Edition, not an update/community note about the whole game, but with the amount of bugs report that I see here in posts (even more so because many imply 1.63 was more stable than 2.0x), you really should have at least added that yes, we see the feedback, patch 2.03 are on it's way, maybe even note one or two important fixes. It wouldn't even require fix dates, but would've been a good sign for players.
I already let go of the game, as I wrote in posts and replies that my main problems are with core elements of the game - Stamina for shooting, messed up Skill/Perk tree, locked gameplay with weapon types and abysmal, forced, superficial writing in the DLC etc. But for those who like the game as it is - minus the bugs - such small signs of life about the fixes could mean a lot.
