minus-squareAppoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down2·6 months ago I genuinely don’t get the “don’t pre order just buy the day it releases” thing. What do you think you’re winning? It’s about sending a message. A message that pre-ordering is not worth anymore and they (hopefully) stop releasing unfinished beta releases.

minus-squareRailcar8095@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·6 months agoI advice you to rethink this. You’re paying earlier, the money won’t dissapear if you wait until release. Also, real reviews would help deciding what to skip.
