![]() Doesn’t matter what type of game we’re talking about. Don’t put this trust into a company that ultimately only wants your money… not without a positive track record.Īnd yes that is just the truth and reality for many, many people. It’s just perplexing how sheepish people have become. Having golden pikes for prorder people is EA-type of thing, not MSĭo you listen to yourself? Post-Launch commitments in a sold-as-is product? This is not a game-as-a-service but you guys keep treating it as one. Later on it was possible to buy it normally, it was even sold en masse on 3rd party sites for like ~0.25$. I just hlanced at my Steam library, and I remember shotgun preorder bonus for PREY2017. Trends with super exclusive content ended some years ago, it’s hard to find too many games permanently gate locking stuff. If you buy game and it turns out crap- it’s your fault for not reading reviews etc.īTW I didn’t preorder any DEs and was in ALL betas. You can have broken, borderline criminal, barely playable unfinished mess like Cyberpunk 2077 for PS4 and marketing people will say till day1 that you should preorder it and it’s a hit.

There is no week without few giveaways, at least 3-4 free week(ends), bundles when I get xx games for 8-10$, and xxxx numbers of free/F2P games etc.Ģ0 years ago compared to now was a nightmare. I can buy AAA titles dirt cheap, just with a bit of patience. Why would I complain about too pricy games at release? It’s a golden age for players. ![]()
