No 4days early access?

[R.E.D.Scorpion]

I Pre-Purshased the Deluxe Edition on Tuesday in order to get the 4 days early access but its Saturday the 14th and i still didnt get to download it so why?

[DaveDamented]

there is no early access for pc owners

[R.E.D.Scorpion]

Why not? We payed just like everyone else so why the hell do they treat us like that?

[Marquiños94]

Because it is very different, here as you can see it is much cheaper than in console, and that is why they are given priority

The console digital deluxe versions, for the same price, get 4 days early access. Your comment is now invalid.

Console and PC cost the same for Digital Deluxe

Really though the issue as far as I am concerned is less about PC users not getting early access and more about the marketing campaign being misleading so that so many users are confused. I would encourage folks to write into 2k support about the issue, not because I think they will change their minds or anything, but just because I think they should recognize they made a mistake and need to be clear next time

[Debordes]

I wrote them about the issue, and I was answered by "Mike2k". I was told it clearly states no early access for PC. Then I notice the pre order page was updated by "Mike2k" about an hour before he answered me, and it said in bold letters "There is no early access for PC users". He said it has always been very clear about that.

[cb4n28]

Yeah, Mike2k is lying to you. Unless Anna S. from 2k was apologizing to me about nothing

[Donkey Chub]

I don't know why everyone is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about not getting it 4 days early. Be happy we've been got the game at the same launch time. Could be worse. Could be waiting until spring 2018 and beyond.

Christ....

People aren't annoyed because they have to wait 4 days, they are upset because the product was falsely advertised

[TheCharlieTour]

It was never falsely advertised. Itt was never announced for PC when the other deals came through. Then they announced PC would drop at the same time as PS4 and Xbox1 this year instaed of waiting until like March like we always have to. The did mention there would be no 4 day early access in this same announcement

[cb4n28]

The fact that they made one statement that PC users woudln't get early access doesn't outweigh the dozens of subsequent statments implying that all consumers who preorder digital deluxe will get early access.

Examples: On every single WWE show since they announced the PC release date at least one promotion ran with advertising statements to the effect of "Preorder WWE 2k18 Digital Deluxe to play 4 days early." 2k's "Here's What You Get For Preordering" stated that consumers who preorder Digital Deluxe get Early Access for weeks after the PC release date announcment and was only updated yesterday morning to state that PC users won't have early access after customers asked questions (I know, I was one of them and got an apology from 2k's customer support). There have been tons of marketing statements since the PC release date was announced that don't distinguish between console and PC platforms. That's misleading

In fact, at least one retailer appears to be confused. Gamestop's order page for the PC Digital Deluxe download continues to contain the text " Play 4 days early! Upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for Early Access!" even though the download will not unlock until Tuesday

Bully for you that you happened to catch the initial press release that clarified, but that doesn't excuse 2k's misleading advertisements that continued after that announcement.

They had a simple solution, which was instead of advertising that "customers who preorder the Deluxe version will get early access" they could have advertised "customers who preorder the Deluxe version on Xbox One or Playstation 4 will get early access" but they either chose not to or neglected to do so. Intentional or not that appears to have misled customers into preordering the Digital Deluxe edition thinking they were paying extra for early access. That's an advertising mistake on 2k's part

Oh, here's another example. If you go directly to WWE2k18's website (wwe.2k.com) - right this second - there is a button that says "Pre-order" on the right. If you click it, it takes you to a page with a number of drop down menus. The first drop down menu allows you to select the version of WWE 2k18 you want to purchase, with Digital Deluxe being one of the options. If you select Digital Deluxe, the text "Play 4 days early on 10/13/17! Upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for Early Access!" appears at the top of the screen. At that point you are required to select your country, followed by your platform (XBox, PS4 or PC), followed by a retailer you want to buy from and then at the bottom there is a button marked "Pre-Order". If you select your platform as PC, the only retailer is Steam. Making these selections does not remove the text at the top which, again, clearly states, "Play 4 days early on 10/13/17! Upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for Early Access!" Clicking preorder takes you directly to the Steam Store page. If instead of clicking the preorder button, you scroll down, there are images and text that again advertise the early access with making no distinction between platforms

So again, easy fix. If a user here selects PC, have text pop up explaining the lack of early access. Or possibly include this information explicitly on the Steam Store page. Instead, this is false, misleading advertising

and WWE.COM stated that PC users. WILL NOT get early access. and since they own the rights to the game, if they say NO. then NO it will be.

Since 2k says the game will realese the same day for consoles ( october 17 ) they clearly said that if you pay deluxe edition or normal edition you wont get the 4 days early, if you enter the page they put in their twit you will notice that, you just have to read what are you buying bro

As I outlined above, 2k has made inconsistent and misleading statements that confused people. Consumers should be able to take 2k at their word without having to do research on twitter to find the secret real deal.

Skippy can't put crunchy peanut butter in all the jars labeled creamy just because they announced it on twitter. That's false advertisement
