: $250 without solid information is the pinnacle of people not learning their
: lesson and trusting game developers. I'll maybe pre-order it if the
: content inside is good. That will only happen when they give solid details
: about it and not just send out a simple press release.

: Equal blame for the video game industry's problematic trends lies in totally
: oblivious publishers and the loyal fans who will never see any wrong.

They wouldn't be making such overpriced goods if there weren't people out there gobbling it up.

Given how previews have been leaning, I expect Halo 5 will get good previews similar to how Call of Duty games get good reviews: people want to play a polished game that delivers on what they expect, be it multiplayer or campaign... With such previews coming in, people will feel much more comfortable with preorders, regardless of how little content the collector's editions give for the price, and that's not okay, but it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.

We could get into how Halo 5 buzz is trying to drown out the issues with the MCC, but they've successfully quelled those voices with the Beta buzz.
