The Deluxe Edition of was a waste of money, that's the simple truth.

If I remember correctly they were released for sale about the time first iteration of war spoils came out.
It would have been unfair if these were better than vanilla ones though.

lol no. The commanders like lightning war armored assault were in the store a few months after release, atleast a year before the first warspoils came out.

At the very begining there were 3 types of commanders: the ones that you could get by progression, ones that were given to people who pre-ordered and the ones that went only to people who got the extended/deluxe/whatever more expensive edition.

The commanders from last group couldn't even be bought by others for quite a long time after release. If I remember correctly they were released for sale about the time first iteration of war spoils came out. So it was something elite for the time. The only problem being that these commanders are generally trash ones.

Lightning war is in another group, of good, one could say p2w, commanders that were added just to be sold, months after release. But the original ones that were given only with the deluxe edition couldn't be bought in store at the time.

The problem is that the "Deluxe/Limited" edition was not really "Limited" so people were kinda screw on that sense. Besides a nice faceplate there was practically no difference between reserving the game or buying it on day 1.

PD: combined that with one of Relic's post saying that there won't be any microtransaction/DLC which would affect gameplay (commanders)... But this topic is just beating a dead horse.

OTOH, I imagine, though I don't know, that most of those who made pre-orders were just grateful to something from the new game, as opposed to losing their pre-order payments and getting nothing at all.

As someone who paid $100 for that piece of shit falsely advertised DCE, "grateful" is the last word I would use to describe getting that abortion of a product. If I didn't get either a game or my $100 back out of that deal I would've looked up Quinn Duffy's phone number and rang his house every day until he decided to send me $100 out of his own pocket.
