Lately I’ve been seeing more virtue signaling from gamers warning each other to not pre order upcoming games. What are you 5 years old lol you need reminders from internet strangers to not spend your money on a series that burned you in the past?

Early access counts as pre-ordering?

If it does, then the only game I ever pre-ordered was BG 3 in 2020.

Lower price before launch + regional pricing was the catch.

Barely touched it before the release. And it was a good deal. It is a good game and the price skyrocketed in my region.

You think that’s pathetic? What about people with a burnt 14900k (550 dollars) asking if they should wait for the next intel gen or go AMD?

People here on Hexbear dot net were buying Starfield on launch day and getting confused/mad that a game dev that hasn’t pushed out a good game in decades would push out another dud.

I used game pass for PC.

I’ve basically given up pirating games as they all launched broken and need patches. I also try not to play a game on Day 1.

I would like to clarify to the jury that I pirated Starfield on launch day and have not given Todd Howard money since 2011.

They were many times. That and the multiple tiers of super uber duper deluXXXe editions. You want to lock ovee half the game behind DLC and arbitrary pay walls? See you a few years when you bundle it together for 85% off on a Steam summer sale…if it’s worth my time.
