Comment on God of War Laufey's $150 Collector Box Includes a Light-Up Faye Statue but no game

Why? It’s a platform agnostic merch box. If you like the price for the merch, get it, if not, don’t. If anything, it emphasises that there’s no need to preorder the game, even if you want the CE merch.

It’s a single platform game. The idea of a platform “agnostic” merch box is idiotic.

It’s a single platform game so far, and it makes the box viable as an option for people who already got the game and later decide they want the merch, if they don’t sell iut right away.
Even if it had none of those advantages, it also doesn’t make anything worse for the customer.

Even if there’s not a PC version, it works out better to let buyers choose disc or digital for themselves (assuming this game gets a physical release, which I don’t know if it will).
I don’t think splitting the trinkets from the game is so bad, unless this merch box is priced like there’s a game in it. I mean broadly, more modular options are good.

Except that steelbooks are normally included with collector’s editions and most of them included the disc as well. Cost is also not lower than usual, son elighten me, what’s the upside here?

The GoW Ragnarok collector’s edition was apparently 200 w/ the digital game, this box is 150 without a game. Adjusting for the fact that the world sucks and everything costs more, seems about right to say they’re not charging for the missing game? (Tho I’d still say both are overpriced.)
I wouldn’t want a digital copy of a game, but I know many people would. That’s the upside, is that people can buy whichever version of the game they want separate from the extras.
Steelbook is a weird one to exclude, and I can understand the frustration if that’s something you want and they’re not making one.
