the crew Pre-order The Crew Limited Edition on Uplay & get "GUARANTEED ACCESS TO THE PC CLOSED BETA"

[Eudemon]

This seemed to pop-up on the Ubisoft Uplay Shop very recently and has got a bit of a response from those waiting to hear about how their Beta sign-up is going due to the fact that this seems to "GUARANTEE" access to the PC Closed Beta. Nowadays it's not uncommon for publishers to do this as obviously those who want to play the game are more than likely going to pre-order anyway and so giving a reward in this manner is understandable. What is ruffling feathers is perhaps how close we are to the Beta itself and this seemingly being announced out of the blue so to speak.

 

What do you think: Underhanded, despicable or somewhat expected?

they're having a laugh. £50 for a game that is not out yet?

That's how pre-orders normally work no? :lol: (I don't know if they take the money instantly of course)

It's expected nowadays to give "betas" to people who pre-order. Why can't they just release a demo like the good old days?

 

Opening a game mag and getting a demo disc... Ahh they were the days.

Yeah, the days when CCleaner was useful
