Did WWE2K24 honor their pre-order price for a week after the game was released, the masses got their hands on it, and reviews were being written? Did they have a pre-order price, or was it just one month of Peacock for free? If there was a discount I couldn't find it with a quick Google search. I know what I'd take if WWE2k offered me a choice of 30% off ($21 off a PS5 version) or a full list of new features a week or two early. I'd take the $21 in savings in my pocket as I read the list of features on release day. YMMV.
OOTP is honoring their discount for a week, 10 days if you include the three day early period, AND they have already announced the v24 "big" features. That's 10 days of reviews, forum talk, user screen shots etc. etc. etc. that a buyer is privy to before putting any money on the table.
As far as the price increase.. With the discount the price is either the same as last year or maybe a few pennies cheaper. How are they tone deaf again? And again, that discount is good for 10 days after beta release so you can know what you are buying.
I'll take OOTP's "wrong" over WWE2k's "right" every time.
