Deus Ex: Mankind Divided does away with 'augment your pre order' program

The 'augment your pre-order' program Square-Enix attached to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided hasn't been very popular ever since it was first announced. Now it appears that SE have listened to the fans and decided that the pre-order program wasn't doing them any favors as they've decided to cancel the program. 

Square-Enix made a post on their website regarding the cancelation of the program:

"We've spent a lot of time reading through all of your comments, working to understand how we can try to make things right for you. After much thought and reflection, we decided to close down the program and make all of the incentive content available to anyone who pre-orders Deus Ex: Mankind Divided or purchases a Day 1 edition of the game. Additionally, the release date will no longer be changed in accordance with pre-order numbers, and everyone will gain access to the game on February 23rd, 2016."

It's good to see that Square-Enix is doing away with this needlessly convoluted and controversial pre-order program. It wasn't doing the customers or the company any good.

 

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be releasing on February 23rd, 2016 for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
