Controversy about exclusive MP-content

Greetings!When looking on Steam, Eugen-forum and reddit discussions, you will notice that there is quite some controversy about the exclusive divisions that pre-order guys will get (including myself).Here I want to present a few voices on this subject to show you, that making exclusive divisions (that will never be available again) is a terrible idea.Therefore I have collected the main points as quotes from the community, first the pro VIP-division and after that the contra-VIP-division opinions. Note that this list is not complete since the discussion is huge and I tried to avoid to list one point twice."I think it is nice, I showed them loyalty and they showed me goodwill.""Its not a cash grab noone is buying Porsches here. Just a small niche gaming company trying to survive to create more high quality products like this game.""Jesus Christ people it’s two divisions that weren’t in the base game that now they are adding. Essentially we just got two free and extra divisions tacked on to the base game. Get your panties out of a bunch and look at the bright side.""I'm happy because I pre-ordered and like what I've seen so far but mixed feelings about exclusive divs for pre-order.Aces/cosmetic stuff sure but would be fairer to release these divs as optional DLC.""You see kv2, I see obvious cash grab before the release. Worries me even more about the real state of the game behind the curtains.""The strongest soviet tank only for a few ...You are punishing players that will stumble across the game later on.Smells like the manifestation of pay to win right from the start. The biggest disapointment so far Eugen""Guess preorder exclusive anti consumers is entering a new era,where balance is directly affected.""This pushes me on the side of not purchasing. It's just scummy that content that is fundamental to MP is locked behind pre-ordering permanently. I don't care if they're cosmetic, or locked for a short-period of time. That's fine - reward those pre-orders. Just don't actively punish people who either sit on the fenceor pick up the game later on down the track."And :"I preordered the game and probably won't cancel, but this is some serious BS.You can't just say "no pay to win, promise!" and everything is fine. Unless these Divisions are literally literally unplayable in multiplayer, you are giving away exclusive, gameplay relevant content in a multiplayer game that cannot ever be purchased by anyone who changed their mind or only learns about the game after release.""I'm really not happy about preorder-exclusive units. I'm preordering the game, but I really don't want there to be a perceived advantage of any kind on my part for using a deck that others don't have access too. Please reconsider this decision.""I dislike it when there are preorder bonuses for games which are never available ever again. It's fine if they charge for it at some later point after release. Some people simply don't hear about games until after release, they get the game, then feel ripped off that there is game content they will never be able to have.""Imagine if I try to convince a mate to buy the game as well, but after release. The injustice will be set in stone and would make her/him feel let down.Every. Single. Time.And this problem will be far greater, if the game gets popular and more and more people will be buying it and have no chance to be on the same level with the preorder guys. Just imagine the irritation, helplessness and disappointment when getting destroyed by a VIP division. Not cool at all. These divisions should be at least there as a mini-dlc after launch.Seems like you try to get people to preorder fast (quick money) and don't think ahead for a long-lasting gaming experience.""Could you please confirm whether these two divisions will only be available to those who preorder the game? Because if they are not gonna be purchasable in the future, it's just begging for controversy after the release."The exclusive IS-2 mod.44 (latest soviet heavy) was there from the very start. So no extra division that Eugen created spontaneously for their loyal fans. It's more like they are banning some units for all the others that like to join us in the future. False advertising? Proof: https://forums.eugensystems.com/viewtopic.php?f=216&t=64059 I noticed that there are more and better points/suggestions for the contra-exclusive policy that Eugen is testing right now. The pro-people seem often very spitefully or egoistic in their agrumentation. I personaly are always very happy about new content. But the reasoning of the contra-exclusive people convinced me even more, that exclusive content will hurt the long turn playerbase of the game. Looking back to SD1 this is something Eugen should avoid at all costs!But this is just my interpretation. Decide yourself. Cheers!
