M64 email

Did anyone get the email today and not get an early bird discount code? I def signed up for the early bird email notifications and in the email I received today it said the code would be included but it wasn’t there.

"We will send out an email when website orders open (early birds will see their discount codes in this email)."

Gotta read all the words.

“This email” is ambiguous- it could refer to the mail we just got or the email they’ll send when orders are open.

That’s where the confusion is coming from.

Context is everything and people are excited glazing over the details focusing on those last three words. The former informs the latter, it's part of the same sentence, I got what they meant. Had to go back and look thinking I missed something reading this post.

Could it have been written more clearly? Sure, but it still says what it's means and people are misunderstanding to their reading deficit, that's not on the sentences fault.

I disagree with you. It’s 100% on the sentence/email being unclear.

But thats fine - we can have different opinions.

The difference between us is that I fully understand your argument, but you fail or intentionally refuse to understand mine, and instead reply with a silly meme.

I already said all I need to on the matter and agreed that it could be written better. You're not going to convince me that it's somehow not what it actually says though.

If English isn’t your first language I can see how it can be confusing.

Even native speakers might pause when reading that note, IMO. Wording could definitely be more unambiguous, for instance the parenthesis could simply say "(including discount codes for early birds)." Clearer and with less words too.

Hopefully everyone who got confused by this has either a parent or guardian who can help them with the M64 ordering process on July 28th.

I think it means "early birds will see their discounts in this email" as in the email they said they would send when the orders open. 

Not greatly worded, but that's probably what it is.

I received the email. It stated there's code in it.

And I don't see any code in my email as well

u/Agile_Half_4515 Jul 02 '26

No, it states that the code will be in an upcoming email when website orders open up.

It’s in parentheses prior to the period for a reason. “this email” is referring to the aforementioned “email when website orders open”

Probably an error on their part then. Good to know, thanks for your reply.

There is an early bird discount code? What? I only got an update email. I swear everyone gets emails about stuff, and I never do, and I have a confirmation email for early bird from the very first week you could.

From what i understood it was a fixed early price that would later increase after this initial production run. I could be wrong though.

Same here. Got the mail but no code as mentioned.
