Who cares about the face? It's the 130$ price tag that's really off-putting.

Damage control. The publishers want to put the incels on blast to divert attention away from the price tag backlash.

It is $70 for the standard edition, quit being disingenuous.

Collectors editions and the like have existed since the inception of video games.

You stood in front of their manufactured outrage and now you must pay the price!

70$ for a gimped version of the game. They deliberately took out content (season pass, 2 extra missions, etc.), make you wait an arbitrary amount of days longer to play and are not giving you the stuff that we used to get for free like art books.

Dont fall for their propaganda.

WTF? I hadn't heard that. Yeah, that's something I might buy when it's on sale for 15 Euro or so. I can wait.
