When I pre-ordered through GMG, I emailed them to ask when I would get my Steam key, and they said it would be on release day, not before.

I wonder if you still get the bank heist dlc if you do it that way?

The only reason why pre-removed DLC content exists is to disincetivize finding out whether the product is good or not because they know it isn't good enough.
This comment, right here? It's gibbering nonsense, bordering on "Jewish mushrooms control the government and faked the Holocaust on the moon." Please stop, and take a few steps back and realize just how loony you sound.

Yep, as long as you order the "Master Thief" edition, you'll get it.

Yes.
Preorder DLC being used to ensure some extra sales in case the game gets a bad rap = "Jewish mushrooms control the government and faked the Holocaust on the moon"

I'm so glad you agree with me.

Pre-order DLC = rewarding customer dedication. You're going to support us by taking a gamble on a game of unknown quality? Here's some extra content and 10% off the release price.
It's a gamble. Take the chance of getting a turkey and get a slight discount and some goodies. On release day, everyone realizes it's the second coming of christ and the reviews are glowing and it hires prostitutes to come to your house and offend John Walker and you need to play the game ASAP? Pay full price and miss out on the pre-order goodies. Don't care one way or the other? Buy it in a year for $10 in a Steam sale, probably with the option to get the pre-order stuff for a few extra bucks.
For me it's not much of a risk to pre-order it. It's a Thief game, so I'll be dropping whatever else I'm playing to dive into it on day 1. I already know I'll be getting it regardless of what anyone says about it because I like Thief games, I like the only other title EM has developed, the only person whose opinion of the game matters to me is my own, and I'd like to play it even if it's a monumental turd. $20-25 extra for a bonus mission and the ability to play it when it's available works for me. I've kickstarted Wasteland 2 and Project Eternity, I'm in the early access for Assetto Corsa and Grim Dawn, and I'll be preordering The Stick Of Truth because these are low-risk games for me.
On the other hand, I'll wait for Dark Souls 2 to go on sale, even though it will probably be phenomenal. Why? I haven't had time to play the first one, yet, and neither game is high priority for me. If I know I probably won't get around to it until late this year or next year, I might as well wait for it to go on sale. Watch Dogs? Warlock 2? Games I'll probably enjoy, but not on my OMG NEED 2 PLAY list.

Ah, the good ol' argument from percieved superior sanity. No need to debunk, just assume insanity, and refuse to explain or argue based on the unfounded assumption of insanity. I'm sure that patting your own back makes the loneliness go away. Just make sure to switch hands once in a while, or you might figure out that you're doing it yourself.

I keep forgetting he's just flaming. I mean pulling the insult card for something that isn't even such an outlandish idea ((

TotalBiscuit is basically the last person on earth who I would take seriously about anything.
