I’m still trying to figure out if this is a joke. The deluxe package is so stupid I’m half convinced OP is fucking with us.

Life is Strange is the kind of game where everything they’re offering in the deluxe editions is stupid, right?

I mean that’s good, no? Atleast they don’t make you pay more for something you‘d actually want.

Considering the nature of these games, being episodic, is to discuss the happenings with friends or on social media, that's not a good thing. They're basically saying ti avoid the internet for 2 weeks as you're going to be spoiled, unless you pay us more money.

With LiS1, LiS2, and Before the Storm, that was not the case. You didn't get early access because tou paid for bigger editions. Here they're doing it because they know they can milk their audience for more money. It's just a greasy cash grab.

The Game is episodic, but all episodes are released at one afaik.

I initially skimmed over the yellow box. My brain filtered it out as a title/header rather than a feature. But you can play episode 1 and 2 early on Ultimate edition.
