    Pre-orders need to fucking stop. And producers and developers should fucking stop using them as a metric. I’m just some fucking lay-man over here, but how many people pre-ordered* NMS? That fucking studio is still working their ass off to rebuild the relationship that they failed at to begin with. And they actually have a fucking heart.

    AC? GTA? And every other major developer? They’re fucking vampires sucking everything dry.

        They also killed off Might and Magic: Duel of Champions right when the hype for card games started… That game was awesome.

      To be fair, Hello Games did reclaim their honour some time ago already. NMS is amazing and they keep releasing new, meaningful updates for free. Their community loves them.

        Still a great example on why not to preorder, the game needed years of more work to be in an acceptable state. Why waste your time and money when you could just hold off until the game is actually finished, or at least until you can confirm it’s actually worth the investment based on its quality to you.

          Yeah idk why people would pay for a digital product before its release, it’s not like it will suddenly be unavailable after release, and they’ll have spent money on something they can’t own and enjoy yet
