Steam Elsweyr page may spoil pre-purchases if I'm right...

Hello,

If I'm getting right pre-purchase content is available and attractive until June 4th.
But...
Today Steam page for Elsweyr changed the label "Pre-purchase" to "Buy", and on Steam Buy is not equal pre-purchase.
If these are correct, then Steam customers may be misguided and there won't be any motivation in buying the game before June 4th.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    It's full blown live on pc. The other date is for console.

    Why it's still available for pre-purchase on official web store?

    As far as I know it's Early Access since today.

    Also this is from the latest patch note on Steam:

    "Finally, if you pre-purchase The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr by June 4, you’ll also receive additional bonus items, including a costume, pet, XP scrolls, treasure maps, a Baandari Pedlar Crown Crate, and Rahd-m’Athra mount!"

    "Early Access" is a bs term for the purpose of having one official launch date.

    Actually there is only one question - does pre-purchase content is available when buying until June 4th or it's already not included since today.

    So long as the pre-purchase items are previewed in the Chapter section of the Crown Store, they'll be granted upon purchase. The pre-purchase window is still open.

    Official release is still June 4. I wouldn't anticipate the pre-purchase items available after the fourth, but if they are it will be a very, very short grace period. But you can see the collectibles in action now so if you really want them put your order in as soon as possible.


    Edit: The Summerset pre-purchase items are included in the Summerset Collector's Pack so the Elsweyr pre-purchase items probably aren't gone for good next month, just shelved for a year.

    Thanks for the answer, just double checking if there could be some difference now when buying from Steam or from other source. As I already mentioned today Steam changed "pre-purchase Elsweyr" to "buy Elsweyr" That's a bit confusing this far.
