Original post:
The game was released in Japan today and only today did they send out this e-mail.
This "extra digital copy" isn't at all of an apology given how they suddenly delayed the released to September only days before the worldwide launch of the game, and then quietly delayed it again to October at some point and then didn't even get the game to backers ON THE JAPANESE RELEASE DAY. "Sorry to fuck you over, here's another copy of the game at no additional cost to us!"
Note that they say that they will give backers digital codes as an "apology". Emphasis on "will" because they haven't yet, despite the game already having been released.
Disgusting.

Hello everyone,
We have an update to provide you regarding delivery of Japanese copies of the game to backers both in Japan and globally. Copies of the game have begun shipping this week, and will continue to do so in the coming weeks, depending on platform and circumstantial logistics. XB1 copies will be the first to arrive, and PS4 & Switch Japanese copies of the game for backers outside of Japan will be arriving last. We will also be sending digital copies of the game as soon as they’re available in the coming weeks. If you don’t receive your package or a shipping confirmation right away there’s no cause for concern, it’s just the normal processing of the production queue. We will also be providing all backers with an extra digital copy of the game for your respective platform to thank you for your patience and apologize for these unexpected delays.
For any other backer support requests, please contact Fangamer at orders@fangamer.com.
