why the heck would anyone pre-order ps1 and ps2 games in a collection and why would they pre-order 4 months in advance?

just because you say it isn't an argument, doesn't mean that it actually isn't.

industry practices like pre-order, dlc, season passes, surprise mechanics etc are the cancer that we all as players have to endure and you buddy are helping these greedy publishers solidifying their methods.

let me guess? not an argument? :D

yes, it does. they already committed on releasing this on pc so all we got to do, is to wait till the games release, wait for somebody credible to test them and then buy them if they are technically to our satisfaction.

if they are not, then we do not buy and konami has to improve their product till it's up to snuff.

after telling me how evil konami is, you especially should be cautious and not buying into their bs but somehow their bad track record had the opposite effect on you. amazing.

Please identify where the DLC is for any of the classic Metal Gear Solid games. If they were breaking each game into separate DLC packs, I wouldn't buy them. As far as we can see, these are the complete games with bonus content. The only question is whether these will be ports or emulations. Either way, that doesn't matter to me. Mods will fix whatever issues arise as they have in the past. It's literally why I buy games on PC.

Your argument applies to companies like Ubisoft and the like. DLC is mostly (but not entirely) poison to the industry - and I'm lumping predatory mystery boxes in with DLC. Konami offering and uncharacteristically solid deal like this is not a bad thing. For the past almost decade, we have gotten absolutely nothing for Metal Gear Solid. The last MGS game was absolutely atrocious.

Selling seven games at $8.57 each is perfectly reasonable. It's less than $10 a game. A series with the pedigree of Metal Gear is very rarely going to be seen for that cheap.

my argument applies to the whole industry as it is now. i stated that very clearly. i doesn't matter which of the practices i listed is the one you are indulging in because every single one of them they shapes the monetization we get now a days.

the price of a product does not matter one bit if you should pre-order or not. the master edition will be worth the price. i never said anything else.

never pre-order
