So, the Deluxe Edition includes a "Mobster Pack" that offers "four notorious recruits for your operation". Is there any more detailed information about it? Who are they? What do they look like?

I second this. Strongly.
I plan on buying the game later this week, I have searched everyplace I know for an answer to that question. I'm interested in finding the value these four individuals hold, or lack. Real mobsters or an interesting backstory, I'm in. More clowns with a Harley Quinn complex, not so much.

So I don't know who they are but we do know what they look like. If you just google deluxe pack for Empire of Sin, you'll see four individuals: 2 women and 2 men. Both of the men are wearing tuxes. So keep in mind that these are not bosses (e.g. Capone, Jackson) but gangsters you can recruit (e.g. Maria, Gibby, Bruno). I say this because the description states that the Deluxe Edition includes "four unique recruitable gangsters, the golden weapon set, and a unique execution for your boss character (curb stomp). As far as I'm aware, none of the gangsters you can hire are based on historical characters, only the bosses. Again, I could be wrong though as we haven't been able to dive into the gangsters too often and usually in the streams, they always hire the same ones mostly. So I expect that they will be fictional like the other gangsters we've seen, but they probably have some great abilities that will make them unique. Again, this is just an observation as I'm not 100% sure this is correct.

This is my guess as well. But I was hoping the individuals actually selling the package would answer rather than one of us speculating on their behalf.
This is kind of strange not telling what you get exactly if you buy the deluxe version. Those four gangsters, what makes them so special that the deluxe version is worth getting?
I second this, I preordered the deluxe edition and I´d like to know who these 4 recruits are

Here is the picture of them. As for their classes/stats/traits, it seems that it would remain a mystery until the release.

I already bought the pack, so I dubbed mine:
The zombie
Martha Washington packing dynamite
Count Chocula's cousin from Jersey
The Gay Footman from Downton Abbey

So here is the info on these gangsters in case anyone wants to know. You can get this info from the new Wiki.
Far Left: Vicky Treff:
| Born on January 22, 1901, Vicky Treff is the daughter of famous Swedish wargame strategist Victoria Treffelsen II, herself the daughter of the similarly illustrious Victoria Treffelsen I. The pressure of following in the family footsteps was too great, and the young Vicky fled to Chicago under an (unimaginative) false name to begin a life of crime. Her family and their admirers search every newspaper for any scrap of information they can find about her whereabouts, seizing on any tidbit or sighting as confirmation that they have found her at last. | Not much is known about Vicky, except that she obviously came to America fleeing something she doesn't want to talk about, and that she grew up well-educated and well taken care of. Her bold attitude and lone wolf tendencies only fuel speculation about her past. |
Second to left: Madeline Dunbar:
| Madeline Dunbar, originally from Fort Bend, Texas, has always had a penchant for crime. She was first sent to jail for robbing a grocer, but escaped and resumed her criminal career. As her children grew, she taught them the family business and created a disciplined and coordinated crew which went on to rob eleven banks, leaving ten people dead and seven injured. Madeline was briefly captured again for robbing a casino, but escaped in 1917. She had surgery to change her appearance and changed her name and the names of her children for good measure. | Madeline has experienced a long run of misfortune in her life, but thanks to her sociability, her kids, and her faith she emerged as an unusual thing - a happy, tolerant gang leader. |
Second to right: Earl Weiss:
| Henry Earl J. Wojciechowski, later called Earl Weiss, was born in Poland, but grew up on Chicago's North Side. He developed an early interest in petty thievery. During one of his earliest burglary attempts, he accidentally toppled a perfume shelf. When police caught him, they dubbed him "The Perfume Burglar." He has since learned to handle a gun effectively and fears no one. | Polish immigrant Earl Weiss's deep faith does little to restrain his greed. He became a gang leader in order to fulfill his desires. Working discretely is of the utmost importance to him. |
Far right: Frederick Joyce:
| Frederick had a miserable childhood filled with hunting and fur trapping in the desolate, harsh wilds of northern Maine. When he turned 18, he escaped to New York to pursue his dream of acting, and eventually found himself playing the role of Algernon in Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" . Although he now lives a more lavish lifestyle to separate him from his past, his hands have never forgotten how to grip a rifle. | An incorrigible flirt, Frederick resisted the urge to drop-out to support his poor family, choosing instead to both work and attend school. He is more of a lover than a fighter at heart. |

You would think a girl from Sweden with that pedigree would be cute, who hates the Swedes so much they made her look like a Bahamian zombie?
Especially when standing beside that pretty little marionette on the other end.
Weird agenda at play.

What sort of agenda do you think is at play? Do you think not falsely depicting Swedes as some glorious master race and accurately depicting stage makeup is part of a gay plot to turn you queer or something? Do tell.
Forgive me, but I'm not taking the bait.
Everything action I've seen since the public commitment from @BRomero_EoS to revisit everything and take nothing for granted has been exemplary. Let's focus on the positives.

I feel I finally took your bait that I've seen and refused to take in a lot of other places. Some of your criticism is ugly, hurtful in different ways both to those it is directed at and to innocent bystanders. Glad to hear you've turned a corner though.

I am the one who turned the corner in terms of my ability to communicate effectively, or the Devs publicly embraced the need to change and they turned a corner regarding their level of feedback and input with this community that seeks to support them and I am publicly applauding them for it?
You are welcome to your own opinion on the matter, I have mine. Have a nice day.
Having experienced nothing but excellence in their level of feedback and input from the beginning, and seeing heaps of unnecessary bile and thinly veiled biases in your earlier communications, it seems pretty obvious to me which it is; you just are a much more effective communicator without it. But aye, have a good one.
