    Preorder mission?

    People have probably discussed this before, but are you serious? Why would you lock a mission behind a preorder. I don't mind all the usual throwaway cosmetics, pay to win items (that I can choose to not use), or whatever is normally in a preorder, but a mission? That's actual content.

    Not saying I agree with the practice by any means, but these missions are generally made available to everyone some time after launch.

    Not ideal, but at least there should be plenty of content before then.

    I expect that, so at least it's not locked forever for sure, but I will probably play this through once then wait for DLC or a new playthrough with DLC later on. So, later on is kind of disappointing. I have Ubisoft+. I'll play it on release, but I don't think we get access to preorder content (obviously no preorder).

    You'll be able to unlock it through Uplay at a later date maybe.

    Hmm, that's a good question- I'm not actually sure how that shakes out.

    I'll update this thread if I see anything.

    What is wrong with giving exclusive rewards for preordering?
    I rather have a mission than a useless cosmetic.
    If you want it - well, preorder. You still have 5 days.

    I shouldn't be locked out of content unless I preorder. Some will say "what determines content", I think a story mission counts as content. What if I wanted to wait for reviews? I happen to have played the mess 'Watchdogs Legion' on release, I know of many people who regret their preorder. Ubisoft is hit or miss on release. You wait for post-release reviews you miss out on a mission.

    I should get a meaningful reward if I preorder.
    There is a ton of footage available now to decide if you like the game or not.

    I guarantee you people did. Similar to how I headlined my OP. I wasn't there for Odyssey release, but I would have complained the same then, as now, if I was there for it.
