The newest game Evolve from Turtle Rock Studios (developers of Left4Dead) now has an exclusive PC edition available for pre-order. According to the Steam page following content is included for the measly sum of $99.99 only exclusively for PC gamers.
Evolve PC Monster Race Edition
Take the hunt to the next stage with the Evolve PC Monster Race Edition which includes additional bonus digital content:
• Evolve: Hunting Season Pass – Boost your hunting party. The Evolve Hunting Season Pass includes 4 new hunters and 3 exclusive Magma monster skins for one low price. Unlock the Magma skins right away to customize Goliath, Kraken, or Wraith.
• Fifth Playable Monster – Goliath, Kraken, Wraith and Behemoth are not alone. A fifth playable Monster is coming to Shear and included in the PC Monster Race Edition.
• Two More Hunters – With more Monsters threatening Shear Hunters are needed… and they’re coming. Get two additional Hunters to join the fight to save the colony.
• Four Monster Skins (Limited Time Exclusive): Show the Hunters who’s boss with these limited time Exclusive Monster skins. Celebrate the release of Behemoth when he comes to Shear with a skin for each of the first four Monsters: Goliath, Kraken, Wraith & Behemoth.
The main thing to notice is that this kind of price is usually associated with physical collector's editions but this is only the digital version of the game with no physical goodies involved. Instead of questioning the plethora of different editions of a single game on multiple platforms, following is the reaction of the general public.

I wish more people would heed the advice of tolalbiscuit regarding the disastrous affects of pre-order culture on video games that was clearly visible from Ubisoft's epic failures last year with Watch Dogs and Assassins Creed: Unity. Sadly it seems that no lessons were learned and as long as people keep throwing their money away the publishers will be happy to continue to churn these games out without concern for quality or consumer rights. Here is totalbiscuit's insightful analysis and sage advise as a refresher for those that haven't seen it.
Should you preorder videogames?
