No but we are going to put finished content as a "pre order bonus" 🙂

>singleplayer game
>"preorder RIGHT NOW! Don't miss out!"
No, I don't think I will. I'll wait till it's on sale for half price with all the DLC included.
Why was there a pre-release of diablo 4 was there any differences between that and the game at the release date?
so people can preorder and get the game automatically when it's out and not check it constantly, don't be stupid
>not check it constantly
Are you fricking moronic? Why would you need to "check it constantly"? Games that go on pre-order have set release dates.
because I have other things to do already with their own dates and I don't feel like remembering when this specific game is out. God you are dumb
i use technology to record things so remembering them isn't a requirement
you should try it sometime
>I don't feel like remembering

The absolute irony
insane how they haven't invented writing where you live yet
I can trade it to you for 5 gold per turn (30 turns) and open borders

Don't do it anon, his jaguars will be positioned around your capital the turn your agreement ends.
Look at this absolute mongoloid smoothbrain.
He's the reason everything keep getting worse.
you are a NEET with too much free time, or your only hobby is videogames. Either way, I feel sorry for you
I'd rather be both of those things than some deluded moron paying real money just to avoid marking the calendar or creating a digital reminder
this. it makes no sense
>check it constantly
more like check once the day it comes out because you already know that date
what does a "pre-order" give me? nothing.
>games is actually pretty good but people hate it for not being as good as it's predecessors
Shrek the third is barely mediocre at best and I'm being generous
Nah, the whole search for Arthur is meandering with a few good jokes, Arthur as a character is unlikeable. Merlin is not funny either.
>reserve your copy now!
>well shit, I'm going to be out of town when guitar hero 3 drops so I better reserve a copy
>get a call 12 noon release day telling me to come get my game or it's getting sold to someone else
>me, a teenager, in a heated argument with some middle aged wagie over this despite my receipt saying "will be held for 14 days"
>end up sending a friend to grab it for me
>haven't preordered anything ever since
Preorders are counted in quarterly reports for investors.
Lets pretend Im a publisher. I don't actually have the funding to develop a game. Instead I announce a game, let people give me money for an unfinished product, Then I start working on the sequel.
I unironically believe games release half baked because the preorders didn't sell enough.
>big game announced
>"FROM THE DEVELOPERS OF [GAME]"
>we hired the janitor from the previous studio and are now using him to promote our game that plays nothing like the game we are ripping off.

Never again
I only played the pre-release beta you entered for free and I still felt like the money I didn't spend was stolen
Why is it always such a red flag?
What happened to giving a 10% discount to pre-orders? That seems like the very least a dev should do, to get the money early and justify buying something before you know if it's shit
They realised the people most likely to buy a game early would be willing to pay more. That's why collectors editions exist, you don't give special deals to diehards.
>Or what, you're gonna run out of copies of something completely digital?
No, youre gonna miss out on launch edition (doesnt apply to murricans) and preorder bonusses
if you dont care bout all this then just wait for a sale noones forcing you incel fricks to buy games at full price
Hey, Noone doesn't have to force me to do anything if she's hot enough.
but I NEED to play starfield 5 days early
Why?
You're having a kek now, but once they go fully digital they will try to find a way to circumvent this problem. That's how digital is plagued with FOMO
Even more pathetic is the
>Pre-order now or miss out on the exclusive BIKINI DLC
