Eww, I hate in-game codes and such. I'm glad they didn't have any. To each his own, I guess.
What would you call the game-code in the back of the novel?
I'll clarify: I'm glad they don't have any in-game codes in the limited editon of the game that we were talking about.
Which would put you in a minority I suspect.
I mean, not to be funny I have LOTS of limited and collectors editions from a hobby of MANY years of gaming, and although the additional books and maps and miniatures and the like are all well and nice, when I think how much use I get from them in comparison to say the game itself.. then OBVIOUSLY in game bonuses are of more DIRECT and RELEVANT benefit, it isn't hard to see how such in game bonuses are of greater use and appeal..
The vast majority of the additional stuff that goes into collectors and limited editions in a tangible way usually ends up perused once or put on a shelf somewhere, or more likely left in the box and largely forgotten about in short order..whereas the game itself is used constantly.
Now the point of rasing the issue was not to flame Stardock or Frogboy or any such thing but merely point out that for me and others I suspect the decision not to include some additional "in game" incentive to the limited edition actually cost them a limited edition sale over a standard version because there are quite a lot of us out here who look for somethign tangible from a CE or LE or SE version of a game that is directly pertinent to the in gameplay itself.
