WWE 2K22 Wishlist: 10 Things Fans Demand

8. Less Pressure On Pre-Orders

2K22 is not the time to be mucking around with tacked-on extras.

This game should be an apology from all concerned, not another excuse to rinse already-annoyed fans out of more money. That's why 2K should ditch their tried-and-tested approach towards pre-order exclusives for the next entry in the series. It'd just be a bad idea.

Hiding top stars behind a pay wall, or (worse) limiting sought after characters to those who purchase the game from specific outlets, would be another nightmare for this franchise. The same goes for those crummy DLC packs they've been churning out for years now. Those need a complete rethink so they actually seem well-worth it.

There's a difference between adding value to the experience and stockpiling chunks of code so that gamers have to fork over for it later. Edge would've likely been 2K21's pre-order bonus, and he could still be used that way in 2K22.

Please, 2K. Don't do this to yourselves.
